EV charging companies oppose Texas’ plan to mandate Tesla standard

Juan Pedro July 4, 2023

In California, Reuters reported that a group of EV charger makers and operators is pushing back against Texas’ plan to mandate the inclusion of Tesla technology in charging stations.

The report noted that the companies considered that this plan is “premature,” according to a document seen by Reuters.

According to recent reports, Texas would require charging companies to include both Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) as well as the nationally recognized rival Combined Charging Standard (CCS) technology to be eligible for a state program to electrify highways using federal dollars.

Five electric vehicle charging companies, including operator ChargePoint Holdings  and manufacturer ABB  and a clean energy association have written to the Texas Transportation Commission, calling for more time to re-engineer and test Tesla’s  connectors.
