This is looking like a great move for Ford! They are the first BEV auto maker to have access to the tesla system and most likely extending their share of the EV market.
While I am not a fan of Teslas for several reasons which have no bearing on my thoughts about this news, the fact that competitors in the automotive market can agree to share ideas is a benefit not only to Ford's shareholders but Ford BEV owners as well.
My interpretation of Fords change will most like be similar to the Chinese market Mach-E's that have two charge ports already. This can easily be adapted to include the NACS adapter at the rear and still keep the CCS at the left front.
The ability to expand the charging network in the US and Canada is a big relief to those who still have range anxiety and still rely on ICE vehicles for long road trips.
Now if Tesla decides to expand even further and partner with the rest of the popular brands it will only increase the number of EV drivers going forward.
