F-150 Lightning Gets Access to Tesla Superchargers

The F-150 Lightning has become a popular alternative to gas- and diesel-fueled vehicles for work truck fleets.

Recent news from Ford will make it easier to charge them while out on the job.

Ford and Tesla agreed to provide Ford electric vehicle customers access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada, doubling the number of fast chargers available to Ford EV customers starting Spring 2024.

Access to V3 Superchargers

A Tesla-developed adapter will provide Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, and E-Transit vehicles fitted with the Combined Charging System (CCS) port access to Tesla’s V3 Superchargers.

Ford will equip future EVs with the NACS charge port, removing the need for an adapter for direct access to Tesla Superchargers, starting in 2025.

Ford’s BlueOval Charge Network has over 84,000 chargers, including access to over 10,000 public DC fast chargers.

Adding more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers creates an even larger fast-charge network across the U.S. and Canada, designed to significantly reduce charge anxiety for Ford customers, with automatic routing to the nearest charger and seamless billing via FordPass.

Additionally, Ford dealers are adding roughly 1,800 public-facing fast chargers and locations to the BlueOval Charge Network by early 2024.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Ford CEO Jim Farley shared their conversation of the agreement on Twitter.
