Ford and GM electric vehicles on the road today, like Ford's 2024 F-150 Lightning, above, will be getting EV adapters that will allow them to use Tesla Superchargers, and future electric cars from the two companies will reportedly be fitted with Tesla chargers at the factories.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the "Tesla (now NACS) design, [is] fundamentally better in every way for consumers," and "Worth mentioning that Tesla is supplying the adapter & other hardware to car companies at zero profit.' Musk lamented the fact that the Europen Union rejected his overtures, according to its Transportation Mjnister, “a committee decided the standard years ago” which elicited an online comment, Sigh, from Musk.
On a Twitter Space, General Motors’ CEO Mary Barra reportedly followed Ford’s CEO Jim Farley in their move to collaborate with Tesla to integrate the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector design into its EVs beginning in 2025.
The partnership also includes the ability for GM EV drivers to charge at a growing number of Tesla Superchargers (currently 12,000), throughout North America. Observers say Tesla will rap up building charging stations to keep up with the increased demand.
