Here's When Ford EVs Can Start Using Tesla Chargers      Tesla CEO Elon Musk has hinted over the years that the company would open up its Supercharger network to other EVs at some point in the future. But it wasn't until a few days ago that the first major automaker announced plans for its EVs to use Tesla Superchargers.    Ford revealed that in just a few months, owners of its EVs will be able to use Tesla stations thanks to a connector adapter and new software.    "We've spent the last 10 years building an industry-leading Charging Network that enables freedom to travel and provides charging confidence for our Tesla owners," said Rebecca Tinucci, Tesla's senior director of charging infrastructure. "We're excited to deliver on our mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy by welcoming Ford owners, and other electric vehicles who adopt NACS, to our thousands of Superchargers across North America."    What's more, in the near future Ford EVs will also offer Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports in addition to CCS ports straight from the factory. That's a big step.    Read on to find out when these changes will happen. READ THE FULL STORY Here's a Glimpse of the Volvo EX30's Interior      Volvo's smallest SUV is on the way, and this week the automaker shared a few more glimpses of the upcoming EX30.    What can buyers expect to find inside?    A 12.3-inch infotainment screen for starters, as well as new and sustainable materials inside including Nordico, promising four distinct "rooms."    "New materials add creative textures, color and personality to the cabin, while smart functionality and a great user experience are the hallmark of every true Volvo creation," said Lisa Reeves, Volvo Head of Interior Design. "Together, these elements distill the essence of a Volvo into a small package."    We'll see the EX30 later this month, by which time we should know more about its battery and drivetrain options.    Read on to discover what else we can expect from this small electric SUV. READ THE FULL STORY Faraday Future FF 91 Adds a $309,000 Launch Edition      It's been a while since we first saw the Faraday Future FF 91, but the future imagined by this EV seems to be finally within our grasp. Or rather, the grasp of those who'll be able to afford it.    The large crossover certainly seemed futuristic six years ago, but now its performance specs are notably less futuristic, thanks to Lucid Motors' Air sedan and other EVs.    The month of March saw production finally begin after a series of delays stretching back years, but the startup did not announce detailed pricing for its lineup of FF 91 variants based on the single design until this week.    As hinted in the past, the FF 91 lands firmly in mid six-figure territory, requiring sums that at one point (and perhaps to this day) could afford a reasonably spacious suburban house. There is a slightly more affordable version on the way as well.    But the pricing announcement does not quite answer the question of who, exactly, this EV is for. For instance, is it for EV owners trading out of the Tesla Model X, people contemplating three Mercedes-Benz EQS sedans, or buyers shopping for their seventh EV to add to an extensive stable of vehicles?    Brace yourself for these numbers.
