I was at the Cleveland auto show today and the Ford manufacturer representatives said on the 2024 lightning, the Tesla Charging port will be on the right side along with the CCS port on the left side.

Ah yes, good ol' marketing and sales telling customers fairytales that make the actual engineers roll their eyes. Next gen BEV truck - which wont be called Lightning - will have that capability.

There is the V4 Tesla superchargers: higher wattage output up to 350KW, liquid cooled cables, and the cables are longer. So non-Teslas will not be as much of an issue as those cables are long enough to at least reach mid way down a longer vehicle or the other end on a shorter one.

For Tesla? Not sure. Access to Tesla SC has been one of the reasons why people choose Tesla over other EVs. So, this would certainly have an impact in Tesla sales, which I think is greater than the revenue from charging other EV using SC. I mean, Tesla was giving free access to SC on its early days, EVs is where the money at. Of course, this could also increase Tesla's brand awareness. So, overall? Dunno.

[@tavi7]

@@807800Better charging networks will start popping up it’s just a matter of time. So Tesla bringing car manufacturers to their network and charging standard makes any new standard adoption more difficult.

Jerry, can you go back and "dry fit" the cable to the passenger side? With the current driver's side, that cable barely reaches. However, the cable from the SC comes out of the right side of the station. Thus with you parked on the right side of the station AND with the NASC to CCS adapter, it reaches. However, if you were to park on the left side, as Teslas do, of the station and plug directly into the passenger side with NASC. Do you think it'll reach? Because the cable from the SC is still coming out of the right side of the station and no adapter.

[@JoseHernandez-gl9ef]

Thanks for the video, Stalls are made for Teslas remember others brands think Elon Bad, so they wanted CCS vs. The NACS. Tesla made that adapter you guys are using. charging port location should be standard, too, because you shouldn't be taking two spots. Also, that 30% cost will help Tesla add more charging stations for both Teslas and non tesla users. Oh and thanks for bringing up the cost from other non tesla networks.

[@ironqqq]

Tesla developed their network to support Tesla cars and each purchase of a Tesla, part of that cost goes to building the network. The extra 30% is to make up that contribution to the network. The alternative is to purchase the Tesla monthly subscription to get the same rates. I think it's ~ $13, so after a couple of charging sessions, you'd break even at the $0.11 differential.

Yeah, sounds like a fair mark-up to me. I paid extra for my Tesla so that I could use the stations, while Fords did not. If Tesla thinks charging them a few extra cents is fair, then it sounds good to me!

0.74 Pounds per kW when I charge at some charging stations in Scotland (if you can find one....... :-) and 'free' from home when the sun shines (and yes it can be very sunny here)

[@Pedrojfajardo]

Nice. Never knew you were in Utah until this video. Best regards

[@HOFFERN342]

Here in Norway, and the rest of Europe other car owners can pay a small fee per month, 12 dollars or something, to use the Superchargers with the same rates as Teslas. if you road trip a lot, it might be worth paying for the subscription. No adapters needed here though.. all Tesla chargers are equipped with the same newer CCS standard we have here (differs from the US one).

[@Tompradoo]

They've done this in Sweden for a good while now 😊 any EV can charge at Teslas stations here so long as they bring the necessary adapters.

[@ultrastoat3298]

Don’t need adapters in Europe they were forced to consolidate around CCS 2. Sucks to be them.

[@Tompradoo]

@@ultrastoat3298 I own a Tesla and I need to use an adapter at most Tesla chargers since my car has type 2 (as many others) and most Tesla SuC today has CCS connectors.

[@Tompradoo]

@@ultrastoat3298 I drive a Tesla and I need an adapter! My car has the type 2 connector and most Tesla SuC uses CCS connectors today so I use the conversion adapter to charge.

[@ultrastoat3298]

@@TompradooSo you are using a CCS to CCS2 adapter?

[@Tompradoo]

@@ultrastoat3298 the car has the type 2 connector (mennekes) and most chargers use the CCS2 so, I need to put a conversion adapter between the charger and the car.

Tesla did the work now everyone wants to use there stuff to make there products more appealing

[@timvandijknl]

In the Netherlands using a public fast charger costs between 65 and 90 eurocents per kwh, which is about $0.7 - $0.97; so $0.45 doesn't seem so bad 😅

[@constant_runner]

In the UK Tesla had opened up some of their superchargers well over a year ago. Being a Tesla owner I generally don't have issues with this but I will say it can be inconvenient for most EV users when a car takes up two spaces to charge as the charging port is on the opposite side. I've been caught out a few times waiting for 2 cars to stop charging and taking up all 4 spots. Tesla need to make their charging cables longer as this has an impact on all users.

[@human_brian]

It'll be really good once they get the J3400 ports on all future EVs. The V4 super charging stations have a much longer whip so it'll be much less likely to need to take up 2 spots when charging vehicles even with the ports on the "wrong" side.

[@danny208YT]

Tesla is the way to go. Such an outstanding company. They changed the world and got people to actually buy electric . Tesla for life.

[@Legominder]

This has been available in Europe for years - however here the fast charging standard is CCS anyways, also Model 3 has never seen any other plug;)

[@omarastacio3939]

Thank you, you are the only creator that has included prices. One caveat, your home charging is likely not $0.06 per KWH, it is likely the cost of the commodity plus you pay per KWH to have it delivered. Don't forget to factor that in when you evaluate your pricing. That being said it is still less than 1/2 price to charge at home.

[@johnpoldo8817]

Yes, most utilities have a generation fee and a distribution fee. Add to that taxes and other fees raises the total cost well over 10 cents per kWh in many areas.

Thanks for sharing this! Just reserved mine

⚡🚗 Exploring the compatibility between Ford EVs and Tesla Superchargers! It's great to see the ease of charging, making electric vehicle ownership more accessible. 🔌👍

[@brentfromsomewhere]

Your home electricity rate is awesome. Here in Maine, the rate depends on how much you use. The more you use (up to a point) the cheaper it is. The state average is about 28 cents per KWH, but can go quite a bit higher if you don't use a lot. So basically, if you try to save money by using less electricity, they just charge you more per KWH.

[@Vapourized90]

Meanwhile in EU Tesla SC's are mostly available to all EV's and it doesn't need gimmics like adapters. CCS works for all, including Tesla. Unfortunately Tesla SC is on the more expensive side to charge, so it's not the first choice. Other chains also have better charging network, at least here.

[@blueskiesflyer]

its $.56/kwh on the east coast to charge a non tesla at a tesla supercharger and EAs dc chargers come ahead when considering the price.

[@JWPappas]

Ok when are you doing the Ford Adapter Durability Test and Teardown?

[@GhostCod]

It’s designed, engineered, and manufactured by Tesla, not Ford.

[@homermorisson9135]

Unrelated: first time I've actually seen your channel today and right now your wheelchair on the deck of your truck.... holy crap, that thing would be a dream come true, maybe I could even ride the stairs up and down on such a machine, that would be such a dream come true... as I live on the 3rd floor and this house doesn't have an elevator, I haven't actually been able to go outside for years... only the odd hospital visit when there's no longer any other choice, but other than that, I'm utterly and completely socially isolated and a prisoner in my own home... if only I could afford a stair-climbing wheelchair... to feel the wind again, be among people again... but I guess I better not get my hopes up again, there's only so many times one can bear one's spirit being crushed...

[@notawheelchair]

thats a dang good looking truck!

[@MathiasA1000]

in Sweden and the rest of EU the the Tesla charger has been open for another car brand for a long time now.

[@taknmyshot]

Great video. Thanks for keeping it short. Love the $.30 premium. Well worth it when you show up at an inoperable EA station. 😢

[@Derkaramma]

That’s the same adapter that Rivian is sending us! Super excited

[@iamweave]

It's not that we are worried about you taking up two spots but more that that won't be reflected in the app so if a site is effectively full we won't have the info to go to another site possibly. For example you are charging on 3D but parked in front of 3C. That 3C is not in use and will be counted as available when Teslas are looking at their map.

[@alialamzadeh]

you can pay a membership cost and the price will be the same as Tesla owner pricing. Membership I believe is $13/month, it is good for people who supercharge often.

[@Lee_Proffit]

If Ford do fit the charging port on the other side, then you would only take up the single bay - forward planning 🙂

[@CallLeeFree]

Great video! Based on everything I've seen on charging EV's, I think I'll wait another decade before buying one.
