Ford Announces Complimentary Fast Charging Adapter for Eligible EV Customers to Access Tesla Superchargers this Spring
In a significant development for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure compatibility and convenience, Ford Motor Company today confirmed that eligible owners of its electric vehicles will soon be able to reserve a complimentary Fast Charging Adapter. This strategic move is in line with the automaker's commitment to providing seamless charging experiences for its customers as it prepares to integrate its EVs into the extensive Tesla Supercharger network across the United States and Canada.
Ford President and CEO Jim Farley announced that beginning this upcoming Spring season, Ford EV drivers who meet the eligibility criteria will have the opportunity to secure a specialized adapter, which will enable them to charge their vehicles at Tesla’s high-speed charging stations. The collaboration, initially revealed last year, marks a pivotal moment for EV users, breaking down barriers between brands and fostering greater accessibility to fast-charging infrastructure.
“Today we're taking another step forward in our promise to make electrified driving more convenient for all,” stated Mr. Farley. “As we near the launch of Ford EVs on the Tesla Supercharger network, we're excited to announce that eligible Ford customers can now reserve a complimentary Fast Charging Adapter. This initiative ensures that our EV owners can confidently travel longer distances knowing they'll have access to one of the most expansive charging networks available.”
This unprecedented move signifies a landmark partnership between two automotive giants, demonstrating a collective drive towards an all-electric future where cross-brand cooperation eases range anxiety and accelerates the adoption of zero-emission vehicles. With the rollout of this adapter program, Ford aims to bolster customer confidence and satisfaction by ensuring its EV lineup benefits from the same rapid charging capabilities enjoyed by Tesla owners.
Customers are encouraged to check their eligibility status through authorized Ford channels and are advised to stay tuned for further instructions on how to reserve their adapters in anticipation of full compatibility with Tesla Superchargers this Spring 2024.
