Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Free Tesla Charging Adapter Supercharges Ford EVs”.
Ford was the first automaker to announce that it’s adopting the North American charging standard last year, so it’s fitting that it’s also the first to unlock Tesla supercharging Network for his drivers this year, we’re here with an F-150 Lightning to see how it works. Now. The way that Ford is bringing the North American charging system to its drivers is via this adapter here, which it’s offering for free to F-150 Lightning and Mach drivers at ford.com for a limited time, both the F150 Lightning here and Ford’s Mustang Mai top out at just Below 150 KW for DC fast charging, so this 250 Kow supercharger should be able to Max either out expect around 36 minutes to go from a 10 to 80 % state of charge. The DC speed sweet spot for the standard range battery or around 41 minutes.
If you’re spec up to the extended range battery now, how much is this going to cost supercharging? Isn’T free and non- Tesla EVS pay more to use the supercharger Network than native Tesla vehicles? That said, the prices are still fairly competitive, with other DC fast charging networks that I’ve used. This station uses onoff Peak rates that range from around 45 Cent per kilowatt hour to around 63 cents for non- Tesla vehicles during peak hours like now for an F-150 Lightning. You can expect to pay between $ 31 and 56 bucks for a 10 to 80 % charge, depending on whether you have the standard or extended range battery, and what time you plug in for the Machi you’re.
Looking at 22 to 40 bucks Tesla offers a monthly $ 12.99 supercharging membership for thirdparty EVS that allows them to charge at the same rates as native models between 33 and 47 cents at this station. At these rates, an F-150 charge drops to between 23 and 43 bucks in the mai to 16 to 30 again depending on your battery size and what time you plug in. But if you’re planning on doing a lot of supercharging.
This isn’t a terribly bad deal for context. Many other major d, fast charging networks like Evo and Electrify America, offer similar monthly tiered subscriptions to lock users into lower rates for frequent use. Now, in order to get your free high-speed charge, adapter you’ll first need to sign up for a blue oval charge network account, which is important because that’s where you’ll put in all of your payment information for plug-in charge payment once you do that you’ll be able to Use the Ford blue charge app in order to find a supercharger the same way you search for any other charger.
You go into the search for Chargers, give it a second to think and it’ll bring up the available Chargers, and here we see our daily City supercharger. There and available stations – we are currently parked at 4A right there, and so it tells us that we’re going to need an adapter. We click that button and we’re ready to rock or you can use the charge, Assist app in the dashboard to search for supercharger.
That will show you in either locations when a supercharger is available and whether you need an adapter, so once you’ve activated in the app you will unlock the Tesla plug, which you will connect to the Ford high-speed charging adapter like so now. You’Ll, take the whole kit and Kaboodle and plug it into the CCS Port of your Ford vehicle and because of plug-in charge, you don’t need to fiddle with a credit card or mess with a touchcreen or anything. All of your payment information is stored in your Ford blue oval charge network account you just plug in wait to charge unplug and you’re on your way if you are a Mustang, Mai or F-150 Lightning owner and you’re.
