Volkswagen in talks with Tesla to adopt its charging standard

Electrify America, Volkswagen’s EV charging network unit, has more than more than 850 charging stations with about 4,000 chargers in the U.S. and Canada.

During the NACS transition, it will continue to offer the widely used Combined Charging System connector. Separately, Swedish electric vehicle maker Polestar said it had signed an agreement with Tesla to make the EV firm’s Supercharger network available to its customers in the U.S. and Canada.

Tesla’s Superchargers account for about 60 percent of the total number of fast chargers in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
