According to a document obtained by Reuters and a source familiar with the situation, a consortium of EV charger manufacturers and operators is opposing Texas’ plan to require the use of Tesla technology at charging stations, claiming it is “premature.”
Texas will require charging businesses to support both Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) and the widely used rival Combined Charging Standard (CCS) technology in order to be eligible for a state programme to electrify highways using federal funds, according to Reuters last week.
