The White House on Friday said electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations using Tesla standard plugs would be eligible for billions of dollars in federal subsidies as long as they included the US charging standard connection, CCS, as well.
The statement follows separate announcements by US automakers Ford Motor and General Motors that they were adopting the Tesla model of charging, known as the North American Charging Standard (NACS). The moves shake up a charging industry that looked like it was drifting toward the rival CCS connection, with the help of federal subsidies.
