Tesla and Ford, typically retail rivals, have forged a surprising partnership in the electric vehicle (EV) market. In a groundbreaking move, Tesla has agreed to open its Supercharger network to Ford EV drivers in Canada and the U.S. by spring 2024.

This development reflects a broader trend of automakers prioritizing cooperation to address the challenges of EV charging infrastructure and accelerate the transition to electric mobility.
