Ford Becomes First to Gain Access to Tesla Supercharger Network

Beginning in early 2024, Tesla will allow Ford EV owners access to a large share of their network, including over 12,000 supercharges across the United States. As a result, Ford will begin to incorporate new technology adapters into their next generation of EVs.

Ford will be the first brand to which Tesla has opened their network, marking a further divide into what will become the industry standard in EV charging. Currently, Ford, GM, and other companies use a Combined Charging System, which is different from Tesla’s North American Charging Standard. With Ford shifting to the NACS, the industry-standard charging station and adapter gap will widen.
