"7 Automakers Join Forces To Double EV Fast-Charger Network In U.S."

"The joint venture by GM, Hyundai, Honda and other electric vehicle makers will open the first of 30,000 fast chargers in 2024".

"Seven major automakers on Wednesday announced plans to nearly double the nation’s network of high-powered electric vehicle chargers, an effort to address a key consumer reservation about EVs — that they may not have a place to power up on the road.

The plan calls for adding 30,000 fast chargers in urban areas and along highways, according to a joint statement by General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group and Stellantis N.V. The U.S. network had about 32,000 such chargers as of July, according to the Energy Department.

The first stations are expected to be open by summer 2024."
