The new agreement is expected to establish the industry standard status of Tesla's charging mode and bring additional charging income. Tesla will make a profit of as much as $3 billion by 2030, thanks to an agreement that Ford and GM's electric vehicles will use the Tesla charging network, it said. Musk and GM CEO Mary Barra announced the latest agreement on Thursday. Ford CEO Jim Farley announced an agreement with Tesla in May. The deals now make Tesla's charging model the standard used by the largest US carmaker in the US and will force competitors to abandon CCS, the main competitive standard. "other brands will be forced to join the alliance, effectively establishing Tesla's' North American charging Standard'as the preferred charging standard for electric vehicles, at least in the United States," Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter said in a research report on Friday.
