Owners of Ford electric vehicles can now use much of Tesla’s charging network in the U.S. and Canada, but there’s a hitch.

They’ll need to get an adapter that Ford will provide for free, although the company won’t start shipping those until the end of March.

Last May, Ford became the first automaker to reach an agreement with the Austin, Texas-based Tesla to charge on its network, which is the largest and most well-placed in the U.S.

They got me with the 20k off between 5 off msrp, 7.5 manufacturer incentive, and 7.5 in tax credits. There's enough of the non NACS plugs that adapters will be pretty common for the life of the car. Personally not a big deal to throw an adapter in the car if I ever need to use a NACS plug.

Solid state is supposedly on the horizon though. Safer and more energy per weight. Probably another 5 years
