According to Reuters, the Biden administration on Wednesday issued long-awaited final rules on its national electric vehicle charger network that require the chargers to be built in the United States immediately, and with 55% of their cost coming from U.S.-made components by 2024. The White House hopes the new rules, issued after nearly eight months of debate, should jump-start the biggest transformation of the U.S. driving landscape in generations. It seeks to give consumers unfettered access to a growing coast-to-coast network of EV charging stations, including Tesla Inc's (TSLA.O) Superchargers. Tesla, the nation's largest EV maker and charging company, plans to incorporate the CCS standard and expand beyond its proprietary connectors, the administration said.
