The implications of Tesla's charging partnerships with Ford and GM for the electric vehicle industry
⚡️ The implications of Tesla's charging partnerships with Ford and GM for the electric vehicle industry.
Ford Motor, General Motors, and Tesla have made significant strides in revolutionizing the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in North America. Tesla's Supercharging network has long been the go-to option for Tesla owners, but non-Tesla EV owners have faced challenges due to a fragmented charging industry. However, recent partnerships between Tesla and Ford, as well as Tesla and GM, are set to change that. Ford's deal allows its EVs to use Tesla's charging stations with an adapter, and starting in 2025, Tesla's charging technology will become standard on Ford's EVs. GM has also struck a similar deal with Tesla.
