Ford signs pact with Musk to bring Tesla charging into its EVs

US automaker Ford has reached an agreement with its rival Elon Musk-run Tesla that will give Ford EV customers access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the US and Canada, starting early next year.

This is in addition to the over 10,000 DC fast chargers that are already part of the ‘BlueOval Charge Network’.

“This is great news for our customers who will have unprecedented access to the largest network of fast-chargers in the US and Canada with more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers plus over 10,000 fast-chargers already in the BlueOval Charge Network,” said Jim Farley, Ford president, and CEO.

This breakthrough agreement comes as “we are ramping up production of our popular Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, and preparing to launch a series of next-generation EVs starting in 2025,” he said in a statement late on Thursday.
