Tesla will also let Ford use its superchargers in the USA
Ford Motor Company has reached an agreement with Tesla Motors that will give Ford EV customers access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers in both the United States and Canada.
The deal will double the number of fast chargers available to Ford EV customers starting in spring 2024, the automaker said.
A Tesla-developed adapter will allow Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit vehicles equipped with a CCS (Combined Charging System) port to access Tesla's V3 Superchargers. Starting in 2025, Ford will equip future electric vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) charge port, eliminating the need for an adapter for direct access to Tesla Superchargers, Ford said.
“To accelerate the sustainable energy transition, we hope more electric vehicles adopt the North American Charging Standard and use the Supercharger network,” Tesla said.
Lack of EV charging points has been a major barrier to EV adoption in the United States and other countries.
Earlier this year, the Biden administration announced actions to significantly expand the EV charger network in the United States to support EV sales goals and support Made-in manufacturing. -America of components for charging stations.
Under the new actions, Tesla will open — for the first time — part of its U.S. network of Superchargers and Destination Chargers to non-Tesla EVs, making at least 7,500 chargers available for all EVs by the end of 2024. This agreement will provide a strategic advantage to both competitors: Ford will sell vehicles with access to a greater number of charging points, Tesla will activate a much higher source of revenue.
This set of actions should help meet the Administration's EV sales goals by building a nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers along highways and in American communities and having EVs account for at least 50 percent of sales of new cars by 2030.
Under the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the White House will invest $7.5 billion in electric vehicle charging, $10 billion in clean transportation, and more than $7 billion in electric battery components, minerals and critical materials.
