Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E retail customers are the first of any non-Tesla automaker to gain access to Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. According to a Cox Automotive Consumer Sentiment Study, the lack of charging stations is the second largest barrier after price when it comes to purchasing an electric vehicle. As EV prices come down, improving access to reliable, fast charging is critical to helping more customers confidently choose an EV.
The 15,000+ available Tesla Superchargers more than double customer access to reliable DC fast charging on the BlueOval™ Charge Network.
Ford is saying thank you to its electric vehicle customers by making the Fast Charging Adapter available at no cost to new and existing customers enrolled in the BlueOval™ Charge Network through June 30, 2024. The adapter is required to charge the upgraded Tesla Superchargers. Ford retail EV customers are the first in the industry to have the opportunity to order the Fast Charging Adapter.
“Ford EV customers will have access to more than 15,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada, more than doubling fast charging options on the BlueOval Charge Network. This move will improve the public charging experience by giving our customers even more choices and it is a vital part of our growth as an EV brand. I would like to thank Elon and the Tesla team for their close collaboration and Tesla’s leadership to help change the lives of so many EV customers through improved access to charging,” said Ford President and CEO Jim Farley
F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E retail customers can reserve an adapter via ford.com/FastChargingAdapter. Simply log in to Ford Pass, click ‘Reserve your adapter,’ verify shipping details, and confirm. Customers will receive a confirmation email with a link to check their reservation status. The process aims to enhance convenience and support electric vehicle owners in their charging needs. Customers who are not yet enrolled in BlueOval™ Charge Network will be prompted to enrol before ordering their fast charging adapter.
Locating and Activating Upgraded Superchargers
Ford customers can use the FordPass App or Charge Assist (soon to be the “Public Charge” App on the vehicle touchscreen) to locate all chargers just like before, now including Tesla Superchargers. Integration into routing will come with a future software update.
