June 16 (Reuters) - General Motors  GM.N  and Ford  F.N 
have in recent weeks said they would allow their
electric-vehicle customers to use Tesla's  TSLA.O  charging
network, in a move that could make the Elon Musk-led company's
superchargers the industry standard.
    Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) is more
widely available and reliable than rival charging network CCS,
which is backed by automakers such as Volkswagen  VOWG_p.DE  and
Hyundai Motor  005380.KS  
    Analysts and industry experts expect more makers of EVs and
chargers to forge partnerships with Tesla as they look to take
advantage of its several thousand charging stations in the
United States. 
    Here is a list of the companies adopting NACS:
