A few days ago, Ford CEO Jim Farley teased us with a picture of a Ford Mustang Mach-e EV charging at a Tesla Supercharger, Farley promised “more details coming very soon.” Today, the companythat its Tesla adapter is available for retail customers to order free of charge until June 30, 2024. After that date, it will cost $230. This means owners of Ford EVs, including the Mustang Mach-e and F-150 Lightning, will be able to use Tesla Superchargers to charge their EVs at high speed.
Previously, Ford EV owners were limited to CCS chargers for high-speed charging. Rather than building out its own network of chargers, Ford partnered with third party charging networks including Electrify America to form what they call their “BlueOval” charging network. As of today, Ford lists Tesla as one of their BlueOval charging partners and states that their customers now have access to “over 110,000 chargers, with more on the way.
Ford owners will have access to all of Tesla’s V3 and V4 Supercharging stations which currently account for approximately 75% of Tesla’s Supercharger stations in North America. All of the new Supercharger stations Tesla is rolling out now are Version 3 or Version 4 so these should all be eligible for use by Ford and other non-Tesla EVs using an adapter.
Many Tesla Superchargers, like this one in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, are operating well below capacity at most times.
