Is Ford the Goodie?

First, publicly backing CarPlay, and now adopting the Tesla charging plug standard. This is the second time in as many weeks where I’ve been nodding my head in agreement with a Ford decision. It shouldn’t be a surprise when an auto maker commits to logical, consumer-first choices, but at least it’s a happy surprise.

Call me optimistic, but with Tesla opening up their Supercharger network and Ford throwing their weight behind it, United States may yet get — ahem — into gear and build a functional nationwide electric vehicle charging system.

Update (2023-06-11): The next domino, GM, has tipped.
