Ford and Tesla's Charging Partnership Shakes Up Auto Industry.

Ford and Tesla have announced a deal that will allow Ford EVs to access Tesla's Supercharger network in North America via a Tesla-supplied adapter starting next year. In 2025, all new Ford EVs will ship with Tesla's NACS charging connector instead of the CCS standard. The move has been praised by some as a smart strategic move for Ford, while others remain committed to the CCS standard. The deal is seen as a win for consumers, who will have more charging options, and for Tesla, which will increase Supercharger revenue and utilization. It remains to be seen if other automakers will follow Ford's lead and adopt the NACS standard.
