Major automakers including BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes Benz, and Stellantis are planning to invest at least $1 billion in a joint venture to build thousands of EV chargers in the US. The group aims to add around 30,000 fast chargers in urban and highway areas over several years. The investment model mirrors Europe's Ionity charging company, formed in 2017 with funding from many of the same automakers. Some automakers, like GM, Mercedes, Ford, Nissan, and Rivian, have deals with Tesla for partial access to its Supercharger network.
