(Reuters) -Ford Motor said on Monday it would add more of Tesla's Superchargers to its electric-vehicle charging network, higher than previously forecast, as automakers tap into the EV leader's sprawling charger network to expand the range of their cars.

Ford will now add over 15,000 of Tesla's Superchargers to its network, up from its earlier projection of 12,000 chargers.
