Press Release:

Today, 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, 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 help 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 at upgraded Tesla Superchargers. Ford retail EV customers are the first in the industry to have the opportunity to order the Fast Charging Adapter.

RESERVE FAST CHARGING ADAPTER LINK

Retail customers will be eligible to receive a complimentary adapter if ordered by June 30, 2024. Future Ford EV customers can purchase the adapter from Ford for $230 (including estimated tax and shipping).

Ford Pro commercial customers will be contacted this Spring by mail at the address registered with Ford Pro or via their Ford Pro account manager to order an adapter.

The BlueOval™ Charge Network provides one seamless stored payment account through the FordPass App, or Charge Assist App (soon to be "Public Charge") in the vehicle’s touchscreen, which eliminates the need for onsite credit card use. Once owners have created an account and activated Plug & Charge, Tesla Superchargers will support Plug & Charge with Ford EVs. This means customers simply have to plug in and charging will automatically start with charges managed through FordPass.

In the future, Ford will begin offering next-generation electric vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector built-in, eliminating the need for an adapter to access Tesla Superchargers.

Thanks Erik! Hey did you see Boston is installing curbside chargers? I'll send you a link to the story in a PM.

I saw a headline but didnt read. Boston is an easy no charge trip for us so not a big deal. But cool this is rolling out everywhere.

We have reservations at a remote Maine hotel this summer, they have 1 charger, I already called and was like "you need to add more, and have a policy/plan for letting people unplug others, there will only be more EVs every summer."

Not sure we can trust the estimated order date unless the production goes exponential because 5000 has already pushed it a month and there are > 100 thousand more ford BEV's.

My guess it they expect to ramp up production but early batch they are sorting it out. Plus might only be 5k pushed it out few days which bump it into may.

You can order the adapter in any color you would like, as long as it’s black.

Just like the Model T

This all I have been getting for the last 30 minutes.

Same thing.

 

[SD Marc]

Ugh. Another flawless launch / upgrade. Still can’t get through for over an hour

 

[dacnavy]

Had to login multiple times but it finally worked. Ford must use the same IT infrastructure as Ticketmaster. I'm order #5432 with a May estimated ship date.

 

[Mike G]

It takes me to the reservation page but get an error when I try to reserve

Mine did that but told me to keep hitting the reserve button. Finally went through.

 

[MUSTGLFR]

Finally reserve. Patience grasshopper.

 

[astrorob]

welp the well the east coast works. Time to break out the friggin vpn. this is like trying to secure shoes FFS

didn’t work… amazon VA datacenter, same message both on the web and in fordpass.

 

[foxglove]

Using VPN, incog, etc doesn't matter. Same message regardless of where or how you're connecting.

Ford screwed up yet another launch. My 8 year old could anticipate the demand for these adapters.

Due to surging demand, our site is temporarily unavailable. Please check back soon.

Doesn't everyone use CCS2 out there?

 

[luckie]

I was hitting the Reserve button regularly (and the OK button after each fail) on the Ford.com website, then went back to the Ford Pass app on my phone, hit connected services, and it now worked easily to reserve the adapter. Try the Ford Pass on your phone! (time this worked well was 10:31am EST)
