DETROIT – Ford Motor will partner with Tesla on several charging initiatives for its current and future electric vehicles in an unusual tie-up between the two rivals, CEOs of the automakers announced Thursday.

The deal includes current Ford owners being granted access to 50% of Tesla’s coveted Supercharger network, followed by Ford’s next-generation of EVs that are expected by mid-decade to include Tesla’s charging plug. The design will allow owners of the vehicles to charge at Tesla superchargers without an adaptor, making Ford the first to do so.
