General Motors, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes and Stellantis said Wednesday that they are aiming for 30,000 ‘high power’ plugs across the US and Canada by 2030.
charging network that would rival Tesla’s and nearly double the number of fast-charging plugs in the U.S. and Canada.
The automakers said in a joint statement Wednesday that they want to build the “leading network” of reliable high-powered charging stations in North America. The new network is expected to have 10 to 20 charging plugs per station, meaning there would be a minimum of 1,500 stations and a maximum of about 3,000.
“It’s stopping them even from exploring what EV life is like,” Brinley said. The announcement of the network “is giving them confidence that this is going to work out.” The current charging network, being built by a hodgepodge of companies, is growing but is often unreliable or in poor locations. This has prompted Ford, General Motors and others to sign agreements with Tesla to give their EVs access to its much larger network of fast chargers. Automakers also have announced they’re building their own networks, but Brinley said the moves weren’t enough.
