Unprecedented agreement between Tesla and American car giant Ford. Top executives of both companies Elon Musk and Jim Farley have reached a cooperation agreement between the two manufacturers that will make life much easier for customers of electric models of the Ellipse brand.
Tesla-Ford: Unprecedented Agreement
Because as early as 2024, through the Tesla app, drivers of electric Fords will be able to access fast charging from Musk’s company’s network in the United States and Canada. The announcement is made, of course, on Twitter space in which the two bosses talk Give more details about the deal.
Musk commented in this association’s communication, “I have a lot of respect for Ford as a company, they make great vehicles. It’s something we’re happy to support.” Personal in a way.
To make this possible, Ellipta-brand models that are manufactured from 2025 will adapt their software and charging sockets to be compatible with Tesla Superchargers (Ford is the first manufacturer to agree to take this step), while Existing models will need to use an adapter to take advantage of this strategic advantage.
The Mustang E-Tech or the F-150 Lightning will be able to recharge at Tesla Superchargers.
One way to accelerate the EV market
A novel entente because until now Tesla had not unlocked its Superchargers to specific brands or models. It only did this for all models in general at certain points of its fast charging network in different countries of the world (including Spain).
Tesla, thus, achieves a dual effect: on the one hand, it increases its customer base for charging stations (non-Tesla cars cost more per kWh than Tesla cars) and helps those customers For those considering buying an electric car, I’m glad to know they have this important ‘joker’.
