Tesla will open part of its charging network to other electric vehicles.
Biden administration officials announced a significant step Wednesday in moving the U.S. toward a more expansive and cohesive network of EV charging stations.Tesla, which owns and operates an extensive network of proprietary"superchargers" for its cars. But now, White House infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieu says the Elon Musk-led company has agreed to open part of its charging network to non-Tesla vehicles.
Some $7.5 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be spent on building out a network of 500,000 EV chargers across the country. A key requirement for EV chargers backed by federal funding is that they must provide charging access for any electric vehicle. Had Tesla opted to limit the use of its supercharger network to Tesla's with its proprietary connector, it would have been ineligible to receive federal funds to expand its network with government support.
One goal is to ensure that EV drivers will have the ability to drive across the country and easily find a reliable charger. It's a goal that remains a for many EV drivers. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says ease of use is a major priority for the construction of the charging network.
