Tesla Promises to Give Other EVs Access to 7,500 o
Post# of 960
President Joseph Biden’s administration hopes that by 2030, there will be at least 500,000 easily accessible EV chargers on America’s highways; with that in mind, the administration has unveiled a series of measures to bring about this reality. These measures include agreements with companies that construct and manage charging infrastructure, including Tesla, General Motors, ChargePoint and Ford, among others.
All these companies are likely to benefit from federal financing if the projects they have in mind for electric chargers match the revised federal requirements that were publicly revealed at the same time.
In support of this, the President Biden hailed Tesla for agreeing to make thousands of its chargers available to EVs produced by other companies. Previously, only owners of Tesla’s vehicles had access to the company’s fast-charging stations across the United States. Tesla has formally committed to opening up no less than 7,500 of its charging stations across the United States to be used by electric vehicles that are compatible before the end of 2024. Of these, 3,500 will be Tesla’s 250-kW fast chargers located along major highway routes, along with the Level 2 chargers the carmaker offers at places such as restaurants and hotels.
The CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter has earlier voiced opposition to Biden’s administration and accused him of disregarding his companies, which makes Biden’s gesture all the more significant.
Additionally, Tesla pledged to increase threefold the number of Superchargers in its American infrastructure and to produce fresh chargers in Buffalo, New York. The business has indeed been manufacturing parts of its charging devices in a Buffalo location that was initially designed to serve as a solar array factory.
Biden praised many other car companies as well, hailing a separate agreement between GM, Pilot Company and EVGo to build 2,000 super chargers at Pilot and Flying J locations across the highways in the United States.
In a different agreement with FLO, an EV charging company, General Motors hopes to construct at least 40,000 accessible Level 2 electric vehicle chargers in American cities by the year 2026. Ford pledges to have DC superchargers installed across 1,920 of its dealer stores by the first month of 2024.
Hertz and BP’s electric vehicle charging divisions have plans to install numerous chargers in key American towns for usage by Hertz clients and the public in general.
Among the recent announcements made, the United States Departments of Energy as well as transport unveiled fresh charging guidelines as well. This will ensure everyone has access to the charging network, regardless of the vehicle they drive or the state in which they charge.
As charging stations become more universal, there will soon be no difference between the charging system of a model from a maker such as Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) and the charging systems of other players in the EV space in the coming years.
