Tesla: now powering one of its biggest rivals -- EVgo. Link here.
With the shift to the North American Charging Standard (NACS), Tesla has shifted in some aspects toward a brand-agnostic tech provider.
The NACS port was once a Tesla exclusive; now it’s the port of choice when it comes to modern EVs.
Similarly, Tesla’s V4 Supercharging cabinets are available for purchase and installation by any commercial client. Tesla's V4 Supercharging cabinets are powerful, offering speeds up to 500 kW.
“Deploying our first EVgo Supercharger marks an important milestone in growing our customer base while supporting the EV industry’s transition to NACS,” said EVgo CEO Badar Khan.
In other words, it's unlikely your cheap EV isn't going to benefit from a V4 Supercharging cabinet. But the salesman won't mention that.
