    Ford EV Access to Tesla Supercharging Opens

      Announced last May, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Ford F-150 Lightning Owners can now charge at most Tesla Superchargers.

    Owners of Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning vehicles have nearly doubled their charging location options overnight with 15,000+ new chargers added to the Ford BlueOval Charge Network.  Last May, Ford announced they signed an agreement with Tesla for Ford EVs to gain access to Tesla Supercharger locations.  Currently, the access is limited to just the two retail EVs that Ford sells and not the commercially oriented Ford e-Transit van.  A Ford representative indicated that a future announcement for e-Transit drivers could be coming.

    In addition to access to the Tesla network, Ford will begin transitioning its EVs to use the new Tesla-designed NACS plug that is backward compatible with the existing Tesla design. Ford vehicles already built and sold with the CCS plug are eligible for a complimentary NACS to CCS adapter from Ford.  Owners may register their VIN to receive their adapter in the Ford Pass app or at ford.com/FastChargingAdapter. Owners are allowed one free adapter per VIN.

    Charging a Mustang Mach-E or F-150 Lightning takes just two steps.  Plug the adapter into the vehicle and plug the Supercharger cable into the plug in a simple Plug-to-Charge process.  Drivers are charged for their session directly through the BlueOval network with whatever payment method is already set up.

    While 15,000+ Tesla Superchargers are available for Ford drivers' use, not every Tesla charger is compatible. Tesla Superchargers that have peak rates of 250+ kilowatts (kW) and an all-black charge cord and handle are compatible with Ford EVs.  L2 Destination chargers and 150kW stations with a silver collar on the charge plug are not compatible.

    @Drew Dowdell Did they say why the Silver Collar would not work with the adapter at charging Ford EVs?
     

    Do they not have all the pins that support the slower charging in the NACS adapter?

    The did not give a reason.  The color could simply be an indicator of the charging speed.

      No, I'm not going to weave in any Subaru jokes.  When anyone first hears this, they know it's a good song - it's sort of catchy - and the voice is stellar. But the trippy part is the black and white video itself showing a strange stage act in this grande dame type theater.  The people in the play look like something right out of a Jack Kerouac or John Steinbeck novel.  It all leaves you hanging as to how and why it may all fit together.

      Went in for my annual service/oil change (about 5000 miles since the last one).  Been parked most of the winter, weather been cold and snowy.. warming up and melting.  Got a new set of tires last week (replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas with Firestone Firehawks), getting an oil change and new battery today--I think I had the original battery--after all the cold weather recently, noticed it was down to 10.3 volts when starting, but rising to 15.x after a few min.  Want it in ship shape before my 10 vacation in two weeks..road trip down to Beaufort & Hilton Head, SC, Savannah and Macon GA and Asheville, NC..      After picking it up from the dealer, stopped for tacos near home.  Still turn around and look at it after parking.. beautiful car.

      The other one is when he holds a press conference and someone in the press asks him a question that he doesn't want to field and he just says, 'Next question.' That's because his entitled and corrupt a$$ is in gear, he doesn't want to be accountable, and they've let him get away with it for years.  We're now in 2026.  Does this mean Project 2025 didn't gel like they wanted it to? I can't believe how often he passes and makes nasty remarks to go with along with doing so.

      Idiot47 continues to prove just how corrupt he is and why he deserves to be in jail!!! 'Mind-blowing': Trump acts clueless when reporter corners him on corruption—until he won't shut up and unknowingly rambles into a confession

      I am seeing allot of non mental jobs that can be easily done by an AI bot get done, like you pointed out, the cleaning up and organizing of paperwork just so a company can then make intelligent decisions to move forward but this is over the next 5 to 10 years imho.  I do not ever plan to retire, but I do see my job evolving and with that what I might have to do in 20 to 30 years will look very different than today.
