Ford said that adding the providers brings over 10,000 new chargers to the network, including more than 550 new DC fast chargers.
The new charging providers join existing providers in the BlueOval Charge Network, including Shell Recharge Solutions, Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint, FLO, EV Connect, and Electric Circuit.
Ford also announced plans to increase the estimated number of Tesla Superchargers to the BlueOval Charge Network in 2024 from the 12,000 previously announced to over 15,000.
