Seven automakers will build a large North American electric vehicle charging network, potentially impacting people who are considering a switch from gas-powered vehicles.

The companies said they will share in a multibillion-dollar investment to build “high power” charging stations with at least 30,000 plugs in urban areas and along travel corridors by 2030.

Here’s the latest for Wednesday July 26th: Hunter Biden set to plead guilty to gun, tax charges; New Ocean heat record apparently set off Florida; Russian plane damages US drone over Syria; Funnel cloud over DC. There are currently just under 8,700 direct-current fast-charging stations in the U.S. and Canada with nearly 36,000 charging plugs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Even with 30,000 more plugs, the U.S. will need far more chargers. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that 182,000 fast chargers will be needed by 2030.

Tesla’s network, with the largest number of fast chargers in North America, has 2,050 stations and more than 22,000 plugs in the U.S. and Canada, the DOE says. “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.”
