Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla’s Supercharger empire::Tesla has been building out its Supercharger network for over a decade. Now legacy car companies are taking a page from Elon Musk’s playbook.

    I’m glad they plan on having both major charging plugs on the stations. But, this would be an ok time for some government regulation to dictate a plug format nationwide. Not having to worry about whether you will be able to charge your vehicle at a charging station would make the experience less stressful for new EV owners.

      Agreed. Only took the EU a couple decades to tell cellphone manufacturers (Apple) to use a standard plug.

        To be fair, it’s been far less than a decade since a non shitty standard plug came out.

      Who uses a charger other than type2/ccs nowadays?

        There were some Japanese manufacturers still selling cars with CHAdeMO the last time I checked. But they may have switched over by now, that was a couple years ago.
