Tesla (TSLA.US) and Ford (F.US) shares values up 2.5% and 4.5% respectively on the announcement of the collaboration between the companies and a number of other unit factors. Ford will collaborate with Tesla on charging initiatives for its current and future electric cars.
Under the agreement, announced by Ford CEO Jim Farley and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, current Ford car owners will have access to more than 12,000 Tesla Supercharger stations in the US and Canada from early next year. What's more, the next generation of Ford electric cars is expected to be equipped with a charging plug from Tesla, which will allow Superchargers to be used without an adapter.

The sheer scale of the share price rally is significantly higher for Ford, which additionally benefits from a raised recommendation from Jefferies. The agency analyst raised his rating to 'buy' from an earlier 'hold' and raised his target price from $13 to $16 per share. Jefferies primarily noted an increase in confidence that the Ford team has an action plan to improve its ability to meet its targets.
