Tesla and the U.S. government in February of this yearReach a negotiationAfter opening its charging stations to other brands of electric vehicles, it has now attracted industry players including General Motors, Ford and Rivian to join in.
In addition to General Motors and Ford transitioning from traditional gasoline vehicles to electric vehicle development, Rivian, which is also developing electric vehicles, announced that it would adopt Tesla's charging specifications, which also symbolizes that Tesla's charging specifications will become the standard for electric vehicles in the United States. It can also be replenished through Tesla's more than 7500 super charging stations in the United States, accelerating the popularization of electric vehicles in the United States.
RivianAlthough it has also built a fast charging network, its sales models will be able to replenish power with adapters at approximately 2024 Tesla Supercharger stations in the United States and Canada as early as the spring of 12000. Starting in 2025, its sales models will directly use Tesla charging specification connection ports.
Although it has adopted Tesla's charging specifications, Rivian said it will continue to expand and build its own charging network and will not rely solely on Tesla's Supercharger station resources.
Tesla's charging standard has been renamed the North American Charging Standard (NACS). According to data released by the U.S. Department of Energy, Tesla-built Supercharger stations account for approximately 60% of all electric vehicle charging stations in the United States. As a universal charging standard, Tesla will receive subsidies from the U.S. government.
