In May 2023, Ford set a precedent by partnering with Tesla, allowing its electric vehicle owners access to the Tesla Supercharger network. This decision catalyzed a broader trend, with major automakers like GM, Rivian, and Mercedes embracing Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS). As of late 2023, nearly all major car manufacturers have committed to this shift, highlighting the superiority of Tesla’s charging infrastructure over the Combined Charging Standard (CCS). Despite a slow roll-out for non-Tesla customers, optimism grows as automakers promise adapter solutions to increase charging accessibility.
“Ford became the first to announce it would work with Tesla in a deal that would give its customers access to more than 12,000 Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada.”
