Ford CEO Jim Farley said Tesla’s Superchargers may become the standard for EV charging in the U.S., a day after the Michigan-based company struck a deal allowing Ford owners to gain access to the rival charging stations in North America.
“I think there’s a chance you know,” Farley said on Friday in response to a question on CNBC on whether Tesla Superchargers will become the standard for EV charging.
Ford shares were up 7.8% at $12.27, while Tesla rose 3.7% to $191.30.
Farley told CNBC that General Motors and other automakers are going to “have a big choice to make” in selecting between Tesla’s EV chargers and the Combined Charging System (CCS).
