More Automakers Join Tesla’s Electric-Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Several automakers have recently signed up to access Tesla’s electric-vehicle charging infrastructure across the United States, bringing Tesla’s superchargers one step closer to becoming the industry standard. Texas has taken the lead by approving a plan that mandates EV charging companies to include Tesla’s plug in order to be eligible for federal funds. Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) is considered to be more widely available and reliable compared to its competitor, CCS, which is supported by automakers like Volkswagen and Hyundai Motor.
