Tesla's EV Charging Standard Sets Industry Precedent.

Tesla's charging technology is becoming the preferred choice for North American automakers, with Ford and GM pledging to make their future EVs compatible with Tesla's fast-charging technology. However, the transition to Tesla's technology will pose challenges for the EV-charging infrastructure, which is already struggling to grow quickly enough to meet state and federal goals for switching from gasoline to electric-powered cars. Tesla's chargers offer a more reliable and user-friendly charging experience than most of its competitors, but the company will need to ensure its chargers perform well with a much wider array of vehicles.
