, the largest in the nation. Farley also said Ford would switch to Tesla’s connector rather than go with the connector used by the rest of the industry. “Like Ford, we see this as an opportunity to expand access to charging,” Barra said, adding that GM hopes the rest of the industry will move to the Tesla charging connector, which is different from the CCS connector used on most other EVs.“We will provide support equally to both,” he said. “The most important thing is we advance the electric vehicle revolution.”

“It seems like there’s a lot of momentum going the way of the North American Charging Standard, for sure,” he said.
