Ford's adventure with Tesla superchargers officially begins

Owners of Ford EVs now have access to more than 15,000 Tesla superchargers in the U.S. and Canada. Ford EV owners can receive a free adapter to access Tesla's fast charging stalls if they are enrolled in Ford's BlueOval Charge Network and order the adapter by June 30, 2024. In a move to encourage industry-wide adoption, Tesla encouraged automakers to use its EV charging connector, and Ford was the first to strike a deal granting access to Tesla Superchargers. Other automakers like GM, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and Stellantis have since followed suit.

After layoffs, Tesla’s supercharger expansion slows

Tesla has received government funding to install new chargers in various states, but still faces challenges in expanding the network for non-Tesla vehicles. However, the company has recently rehired some employees and is committed to building more Superchargers. The growth of the Supercharger network is crucial as millions of new electric vehicle drivers enter the market.
