KEY POINTS
General Motors will follow crosstown rival Ford Motor in partnering with Tesla to use the electric vehicle leader's North American charging network and technologies.
GM, like Ford, will begin installing a charging port used by Tesla, known as NACS, instead of the current industry-standard CCS, in its EVs starting in 2025.
Both GM and Tesla stocks were up about 3% during after-hours trading Thursday.

United States of America / Ford EV customers to gain access to 12,000 Tesla superchargers

FORD EV CUSTOMERS TO GAIN ACCESS TO 12,000 TESLA SUPERCHARGERS; COMPANY TO ADD NORTH AMERICAN CHARGING STANDARD PORT IN FUTURE EVS
May 25, 2023 | Dearborn
https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2023/05/25/ford-ev-customers-to-gain-access-to-12-000-tesla-superchargers--.html
DEARBORN, Mich., May 25, 2023 – Ford Motor Company said today it reached an agreement with Tesla Motors that will provide Ford electric vehicle customers access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada, doubling the number of fast-chargers available to Ford EV customers starting Spring 2024.
“This is great news for our customers who will have unprecedented access to the largest network of fast-chargers in the U.S. and Canada with 12,000+ Tesla Superchargers plus 10,000+ fast-chargers already in the BlueOval Charge Network,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “Widespread access to fast-charging is absolutely vital to our growth as an EV brand, and this breakthrough agreement comes as we are ramping up production of our popular Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, and preparing to launch a series of next-generation EVs starting in 2025.”
Added Rebecca Tinucci, Tesla’s senior director of charging infrastructure: “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. 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.”
A Tesla-developed adapter will provide Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit vehicles fitted with the Combined Charging System (CCS) port access to Tesla’s V3 Superchargers. Ford will equip future EVs with the NACS charge port, removing the need for an adapter for direct access to Tesla Superchargers, starting in 2025.
“Tesla has led the industry in creating a large, reliable and efficient charging system and we are pleased to be able to join forces in a way that benefits customers and overall EV adoption,” said Marin Gjaja, chief customer officer, Ford Model e. “The Tesla Supercharger network has excellent reliability and the NACS plug is smaller and lighter. Overall, this provides a superior experience for customers.”
The BlueOval Charge Network is already North America’s largest public charging network with over 84,000 chargers including access to over 10,000 public DC fast-chargers. Adding more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers creates the single largest integrated fast-charge network across the U.S. and Canada, designed to significantly reduce charge anxiety for Ford customers, with automatic routing to the nearest charger and seamless billing via FordPass.
Additionally, Ford dealers are adding roughly 1,800 public-facing fast-chargers and locations to the BlueOval Charge Network by early 2024.

China’s chip industry set for deep pain from US export controls
Experts predict ‘tsunami of change’ for semiconductor industry as Washington wields tools tested on Huawei
https://www.ft.com/content/e950f58c-0d8f-4121-b4f2-ece71d2cb267
Two years after the US hit Huawei with harsh sanctions, the Chinese technology group’s revenue has dropped, it has lost its leadership position in network equipment and smartphones and its founder has told staff that the company’s survival is at stake.
Now, China’s entire chip industry is bracing for similar pain as Washington applies the tools tested on Huawei much more broadly.

It means the firm's products will be banned from key infrastructure projects in the world's second largest economy.
It is China's first major move against a US chip maker, as tensions increase between Beijing and Washington.

Marcos names Gibo Teodoro as defense chief

Jun 5, 2023 03:39 AM
https://mb.com.ph/2023/6/5/it-s-official-marcos-names-gibo-teodoro-as-defense-chief
After a year of keeping the post vacant, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has named lawyer Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro Jr. as Secretary of the Department of National Defense (DND), Malacañang said.
In a statement, Communications Secretary Cheloy Garafil said Marcos made the announcement on Monday, June 5.
President Marcos reportedly made the appointment after meeting Teodoro and Defense Senior Undersecretary Carlito Galvez Jr. in Malacañang on the same day.
Teodoro's announcement came almost after the ban on appointing losing election candidates lapsed on May 9. Teodoro was part of the senatorial candidates of Marcos' Uniteam in the 2022 polls.
Reports of Teodoro's appointment circulated online over the weekend, but Malacañang said there were no appointments made at the time.
