Electric vehicle chargers to be standardized

Daimler, Audi, Ford, BMW, General Motors, Volkswagen and Porsche came to an agreement on how to standardize EV (Electric Vehicle) chargers in USA and Europe.

The standardization comes to ensure that the same system communication as well as identical charge plugs between the car and the charger will be used.

The decision to unite all under a combined system is based on reviews of existing charging systems, various designs for the connecter and the preferences of most drivers in the United States and Europe as shown by run statistics.

Drivers who own an electric car produced by one of these major automakers will no longer have to worry about compatibility between their car and chargers found in stations or on the road.
