The jolt to America’s EV charging infrastructure

General Motors and Ford – two of the biggest electric vehicle producers – announced they would adopt Tesla’s charging technology for their electric vehicles in the coming years. That’s significant because the federal government earlier this year chose to require another EV charging technology rather than Tesla’s technology in its federally-funded chargers under the bipartisan infrastructure law. POLITICO’s James Bikales breaks down what these developments mean for the future of EV charging. Plus, the Energy Department is providing a $850 million conditional loan for the construction of an advanced battery cell manufacturing facility in Arizona.
