One aspect that is quite important to me but I can't find it mentioned anywhere is the integration with the API of superchargers. Will Ford cars get live access to statistics on what superchargers are available in what capacity that could help planning the trip a bit better?

It's finally a good time to start considering other EVs than Tesla assuming one drives relatively far distances. One thing that Tesla car still does exceptionally well is trip planning where I don't have to think anything about planning the trip w.r.t. charging. I don't know if using CarPlay with Apple Maps would provide similar experience.

Not sure about Ford, but for Rivians at least it looks like the answer is yes. So the integration is presumably doable.
