Wednesday that they're working together to build a new nationwide network of 30,000 electric vehicle charging stations, an effort to stoke already growing consumer demand for EVs.
BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes and Stellantis said the first batch of their"high-powered charging" stations will be available next summer. EV owners have long complained about a shortage of places to charge their vehicle. The automakers said they hope the stations will"make zero-emission driving even more attractive for millions of customers."
