A recent interview with Jim Farley by Tom Moloughney at State of Charge revealed some interesting details about how the deal that changed EV charging went down.
Breaking the ice on this led just about every other manufacturer to move to the Tesla plug and network, too. This, in turn, led the other charging networks to get serious about reliability, and we’re starting to see some signs of improvement. The end result will hopefully be that every network works great and every EV has access to every charging station.
Seeing how this works as a customer and not simply from a plush office as the CEO led him to ask Ford employee Doug Field, a former Tesla employee, about the possibility of getting Ford’s vehicles on Tesla’s blatantly superior network. Field reached out via backchannels to Tesla to feel them out, and initially was told that it was probably not possible. But, he kept talking about it with Field and others at the company, and the data kept looking worse and worse for CCS networks.
Shockingly, it only took about two weeks to put a contract together! After the deals were finalized, Farley’s team and Musk’s team had to put a lot of effort in to get it all working well for both Tesla and for Ford vehicles.Moloughney mentioned that Ford likely drug all of the other companies to follow along, and that it might have been something they really didn’t want to do. So, he asked if anybody else got mad at him for doing this.
