NEW YORK: Tesla's electric charging network has long pleased electric car mavens. But Elon Musk's 'superchargers' are now winning endorsements from a more unlikely group: Other auto companies. Ford was the first to announce a partnership with Musk in late May, followed by General Motors earlier this month.
DELAYS, SUPPLY CHAIN WOES
In February, the White House unveiled an agreement with Musk in which Tesla agreed to make at least 7,500 chargers nationwide open to non-Tesla EVs by the end of 2024, a move that allows Tesla to potentially qualify for NEVI funds. Industry experts have cited a number of reasons for the sluggish pace of the rollout, including supply chain shortages of key materials; challenges in negotiating affordable electricity contracts with utilities; and delays with NEVI because of uncertainty about federal guidelines or difficulties in states that have no experience in permitting EV chargers.
