Ford Motor, Tesla Sign Partnership Deal for EV Charging in Surprising Move

Ford Motor Company and Tesla Inc. have joined forces for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. They have signed a partnership deal that will allow owners of Ford EVs to use Tesla chargers.
This is a surprising move for both companies since they are rivals in the automobile manufacturing industry. It was revealed that Ford EV drivers will be able to access Tesla’s charging stations around the country starting in 2024.
The agreement between Ford Motor and Tesla was announced on Thursday, May 25. It was indicated in the contract that the latter will allow all owners of Ford EVs to use its more than 12,000 Superchargers that are installed in strategic locations across North America, including Canada.
According to Reuters, this will double the number of EV fast-chargers that Ford EV owners can use. Tesla will provide an adapter which it also developed so Ford vehicles can charge at the company’s V3 Supercharger units. The adapter will work for Ford units with the Combined Charging System (CCS) port access.
With the collaboration, Ford Motor will be adding a charge port to its EVs in the future. This will remove the need for the vehicles to use an adapter to use the Tesla Superchargers. The automaker said that this feature will be available in 2025.
“This is great news for our customers who will have unprecedented access to the largest network of fast chargers in the U.S. and Canada with 12,000+ Tesla Superchargers plus 10,000+ fast chargers already in the BlueOval Charge Network,” Ford Motor president and chief executive officer, Jim Farley, said in a press release. “Widespread access to fast-charging is absolutely vital to our growth as an EV brand, and this breakthrough agreement comes as we are ramping up production of our popular Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, and preparing to launch a series of next-generation EVs starting in 2025.”
