The Biden administration announced measures Wednesday to make EV charging stations interoperable, according to a Yahoo Finance report.

This announcement included commitments from General Motors, Tesla and others to build interoperable charging stations that will complement the government's system.

Tesla has since committed to building at least 7,500 chargers that will be open for use by all EV drivers by the end of 2024. The EV manufacturers will be able to retrofit existing chargers to comply with the interoperability standards.

Hertz and BP announced plans for a network of interoperable stations centered on airports.

Pilot Company, General Motors and EVgo also announced a partnership for private chargers at existing Pilot and Flying stops.
