. Beginning next year, Ford EV owners in the United States can use the Ford’s mobile app to use Tesla’s 12,000 Supercharger stations — the company’s name for its fast charging stations. The partnership was announced by Ford\n \n CEO Jim Farley and Tesla\n \n CEO Elon Musk on a Twitter Spaces livestream on Thursday. Musk is also the CEO and owner of Twitter. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ford as a company, and it makes great vehicles.
“We don’t have as many EV customers as you do, but we still have plenty, and for them to be able to have this benefit early next year already and not have to buy a new car is, I think, a real statement by you and the Tesla team to be really prioritizing the customer’s experiences,” Farley told Musk. Existing Ford electric vehicles will use an adapter to access Tesla’s Superchargers.
