Tesla strikes charging deal with Hilton, Honda to join Supercharger network

Hilton will install 20,000 Tesla chargers at 2,000 hotels starting in 2024, making it the largest EV charging network for a hospitality company.
Honda will implement the North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug starting in 2025, allowing access to Tesla's Supercharger network.
Honda's access comes later than other automakers like GM, Ford and Mercedes who gain access in 2023.
More automakers joining the Tesla network is hurting independent charging networks like EVgo, ChargePoint and Blink.
ChargePoint reported wider losses in Q2 and is reducing its workforce by 10% to preserve liquidity.

Major automakers unite to build electric vehicle charging network they say will rival Tesla’s

Main Topic: Seven major automakers are joining forces to build a North American electric vehicle charging network to rival Tesla's and increase the number of fast-charging plugs in the U.S. and Canada. Key Points: 1. The automakers, including General Motors, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, and Stellantis, will invest in building "high power" charging stations with 30,000 plugs in urban areas and along travel corridors. 2. The goal is to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles and address concerns about the availability of chargers for long-distance travel. 3. The network will be public, open to all electric vehicle owners, and will include connectors for both Tesla's North American Charging Standard plugs and the Combined Charging System plugs used by other automakers.
