Ford's electric vehicles will soon be compatible with the Tesla Supercharging network and future Fords will switch to the Tesla-style charging plug.
Starting in 2024, Ford will add more than 12,000 Superchargers to the 10,000 public fast chargers that are already integrated into the BlueOval Charge Network, which allows for plug-and-charge capability through the FordPass app.
The Mustang Mach-E is one of the Ford models that will be compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network. The Supercharger network uses a different plug design than the more common Combined Charging System plug Fords have, so owners will need to acquire an adapter that is being developed by Tesla. However, the next generation of electric Ford models will switch to the Tesla North American Charging Standard as standard equipment.The Supercharger network is widely regarded as the most reliable in the U.S., and many of its stations are in strategically located and appealing locations.
"We love the locations, we love the reliability, your routing software, the ease of use of the connector, the reliability of it," Farley said.Tesla has also begun installing CCS adapters in some Superchargers that any vehicle can use through the Tesla app, but the experience is not as seamless as what will be available to Ford owners.Gary Gastelu is Fox News Digital's automotive editor.
