Ford's Next Wave of EVs Will Be Compatible with Tesla Chargers
• The deal between the two automakers will give Ford EV owners access to 12,000 Tesla stations in North America.Since last November, Tesla's rival automakers have been allowed to install Tesla's exclusive charging connector in their own vehicles, in order to benefit from the company's impressive charging network.
Last February, the White House announced – and Tesla confirmed - that some Tesla-owned charging stations in the U.S. would be accessible to vehicles from competing brands. Tesla will in return receive a portion of the federal funds earmarked for developing and expanding EV charging infrastructure. Initially, Tesla is committing to making about 7,500 Tesla chargers in the United States accessible to any EV by equipping the stations with the widely used Combined Charging Standards connector. For Ford, the number stands at 12,000 under the terms of the agreement between the two manufacturers. The agreement includes Ford obtaining API access to Tesla's interface, meaning that owners of Ford electric vehicles can use the Ford app to activate charging at Tesla stations.

As for access to Tesla stations in Canada, the goal is to make 750 terminals accessible to rival brands by the end of 2025 between the Ottawa Corridor and Calgary. This will disappoint many electric car owners living in Quebec and British Columbia. Ford logo Photo: D.Boshouwers
