His comment came during his roundtrip across Route 66 in Ford’s latest electrical vehicle venture, the F-150 Lighting. The CEO documented his experience on both X and LinkedIn.
Farley said he visited a popular charging depot on Interstate 5 in Coalinga, California, where there were forty readily available Tesla Superchargers.
The Ford CEO had to use a low-speed charger that he said delivered him a 40% charge in about 40 minutes.
At another stop, Farley highlighted a good experience at a 350 kW charger in Baker, California, expressing his enthusiasm for the quick and easy charging experience.
“Was so quick and easy. Really highlighted the difference that nice stations and fast charging can make on the overall EV experience,” Farley said.

The length of charging for the Michigan-based company has been a barrier for slow-adopters of electric vehicles to buy in.
