Tesla Inc.’s charging technology won more backers as a handful of players in the electric-vehicle power industry said they would offer compatible equipment, further solidifying the automaker’s system as the US standard.
ChargePoint Holdings Inc., Blink Charging Co., EVgo Inc. and Wallbox NV each said Monday they will have chargers capable of working with Tesla’s North American Charging Standard, which is quickly winning in competition with the so-called Combined Charging System. Australia’s Tritium DCFC Ltd. also said it would offer an NACS connector option with its chargers.
