The Biden administration is awarding $623 million in grants to help build an electric vehicle charging network across the nation.
Grants being announced Thursday will fund 47 EV charging stations and related projects in 22 states and Puerto Rico, including 7,500 EV charging ports, officials said.
“America led the arrival of the automotive era, and now we have a chance to lead the world in the EV revolution — securing jobs, savings and benefits for Americans in the process,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The new funding “will help ensure that EV chargers are accessible, reliable and convenient for American drivers, while creating jobs in charger manufacturing, installation and maintenance for American workers.”
Congress approved $7.5 billion in the 2021 infrastructure law to meet President Joe Biden’s goal of building out a national network of 500,000 publicly available chargers by 2030. The charging ports are a key part of Biden’s effort to encourage drivers to move away from gasoline-powered cars and trucks that contribute to global warming.
NACS is a better standard. Existing standards are awful and there is in fact no 1 single standard
The name is North American Charging Standard, which is a stupid name, but because Tesla wanted to make their own for the US. You really want that guy running a standard?
There are not that many standards. Could’ve went with the most common one and worked with everyone to develop it further for the further good of everyone. Unfortunately this would’ve hurt his pathetic ego though.
Didn’t Tesla give the NACS standard to SAE?
Believe so, I posted an article related to it recently, Ill try to find a link
The Title Was Exageratory though
