White House backs industry effort to standardize Tesla’s EV charging plugs
The White House is lending its support to an auto industry effort to standardize Tesla’s electric vehicle charging plugs for all EVs in the United States, part of a broad effort to stimulate their sales to help combat climate change.
More than 1 million EVs have been sold in the United States in 2023, a record, but that pace still lags behind sales in such countries as China and Germany. One key reason is that the limited availability of charging infrastructure across the country has been a widespread concern for many would-be buyers of EVs and has held back their sales in the United States.
Tesla, the leader in the EV market, operates the largest network of fast-chargers. And many of its Supercharger stations are in prime locations along highly traveled corridors, where other charging stations are sparse.

The support by the government is fundamental. The climate crisis cannot be solved by one person/institution.

Infrastructure for charging across the US needs to really be prioritized as the uptake of EVS has gone to insane levels

Great initiative.The White House is supporting an industry initiative to standardize Tesla's electric vehicle (EV) charging plugs across all EVs in the United States, aiming to boost EV sales and address climate change. While the U.S. has seen a record 1 million EV sales in 2023, the pace still lags behind other countries. Limited charging infrastructure availability has been a concern, hindering EV adoption. Tesla, a major player in the EV market, operates the largest network of fast-chargers, and standardizing plugs is seen as a step toward overcoming infrastructure challenges and promoting widespread EV use in the U.S.

It's imperative to have standard charging stations. Imagine if I use a different EV and I'm put of power, does it mean I can't charge my EV even when there's a charging port available just because our brands differ?
