    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.

      Pathetic, truly pathetic 'Stupid beyond belief': Trump and Musk blasted as DOGE fires 'hundreds' of FAA employees @oldshurst442 I know that Idiot47 is not a reader, but this just blows my mind that he does not understand what happened at Pearl Harbor or the Arizona Memorial. Trump did not understand Pearl Harbor, new book reveals: ‘What’s this all about?’ We are so messed up with the Idiot Lemmings that are just there to kiss Idiot47 butt. Maddow Blog | Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon goes from bad to worse I truly fear for all our personal data, if not now, I am sure it will end up on the dark web sold to the highest bidder. Musk and his Criminal DOGE group is truly going to hurt the U.S. and both my Grandfathers who fought for this country in WWII are turning over in their graves at the incompetence of this administration. 'He couldn't answer': Dems left shocked after ambushing Mike Johnson over Elon Musk On top of this crazyness, our love for the auto industry has never been put in more danger of total collapse due to the stupid leadership we currently are under. 🤔 I have not researched this, but could we recall a President?

      Airplanes

      By trinacriabob · Posted

      Ok, it's a lot clearer.  The issue is now why that wing dipped.  Some articles mentioned wind gusts. CRJs are quiet and nimble, for the most part.  I don't like their wing swept back and I don't like the engines at the rear hugging the fuselage.  It's noisy in the back.  When it comes to this more commuter-like size, I now much prefer the Embraer 190/185 product. This tells me to keep that safety belt fastened tight.  We've seen people get out quickly when the plane was right side up ... AF's Paris-Toronto A340 and the JAL A350 in Tokyo that collided with a commuter plane on the runway.  Getting out when you're upside down must have been much worse.  I'm thinking some of these folks will have PTSD from this.  I feel for them.

      What is this 10.5% sales tax and what are the extra add-ons funding?  Unbelievable. You can find an $8 to $10 omelette at a dive in a nondescript part of Houston.  Food there isn't ridiculously expensive.
