that gave both him and Elon Musk a black eye. However, that didn’t stop Ford CEO Jim Farley from deciding to get in on the action.customers will be able to access more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers, across the United States and Canada, starting in the spring of 2024.
That’s roughly a year away and even when the partnership comes to fruition, it won’t exactly be smooth sailing. Quite the opposite as , F-150 Lightning and E-Transit drivers will have to use a Tesla-developed adapter which will enable them to charge at Superchargers. They’ll also have to activate and pay through FordPass or Ford Pro Intelligence.This isn’t exactly convenient and Ford recognizes this. As a result, the automaker will equip future electric vehicles with an NACS charge port, which will eliminate the need for an adapter to use Tesla Superchargers. However, the change won’t start until 2025.
In a statement, Farley said “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.
Besides announcing the Tesla partnership, Ford noted their dealers will add approximately 1,800 public-facing fast-chargers by early next year.
