In a move that could challenge the dominance of Tesla's North American EV charging network, seven major global automakers are creating a new charging network joint venture that they say will significantly expand access to high-powered charging in North America.
Volkswagen says it has reached a new efficiency milestone while testing on a circuit in Nardò, southern Italy, after a VW ID.7 Pro S with a standard technology package and 210 kW (286 PS) covered a distance of 941km on just one battery charge (86 kWh net).
NaaS Technology, the first US-listed EV charging service company in China, says its charging network has successfully expanded to 360 cities in China as of year-end 2024.
Mercedes-Benz has announced that, starting February 2025, drivers of its battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the United States will gain the ability to charge at over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States and Canada.
