Now that there are millions of electric vehicles (EVs) on U.S. roads, close attention is being paid to public charging reliability and accessibility, including plug compatibility, charger functionality, and the mechanics of payment. On all three fronts there’s good news for current and prospective EV drivers in the United States.
Thanks to a few big developments, in the coming years, nearly all EVs will be able to charge at nearly any public charger. Additionally, a federal program is slated to help ensure that chargers operate properly and that payment processing gets a lot easier by allowing users to use a single app to pay at any charger.
