Owners of Ford EVs now have access to more than 15,000 Tesla superchargers in the U.S. and Canada.

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.

Ford's F-150 Lightning remained the top-selling electric truck. Rivian's R1T sales also declined. The Cybertruck's sales peaked in 2024 but have since plummeted, possibly due to pricing issues or brand damage.

The expansion of Tesla's Supercharger network has slowed down in recent months, following workforce reductions in April that affected the installation team. The number of new Supercharger ports opened in May through August decreased by 28% compared to the same period last year. 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.
