Jim Farley says that charging anxiety, not range anxiety, is a bigger issue for EV owners and that he's really happy Ford is moving to NACS chargers
The big difference is how easily Tesla customers can just roll up, plug in, and charge without worrying about the details. “We’re using Charge America and there’s maybe one 350 kW charger, the rest are slow speed, a lot of people have never done it before, and we’re all trying to figure this out.All the Ford people retrofitted, get an adapter and an app on their phone that’ll allow them to connect to a Supercharger Network,” Farley said.
“When Doug Fields came to the company a year and a half ago, we started having this debate about the plug itself, whether this committee design plug is competitive with the Tesla plug. We all started having plug failures and we’ll run them over and they’re broken and all sorts of stuff happen. And it became really clear to all of us as leaders that’s a better solution. It was engineered better. I hate to say it, but it was.
The entire interview is an interesting one that’s worth a watch as Farley clearly sees a path forward that improves the EV experience for all Ford customers.
