Evgo Cracks Down on Fast-Charging Extension Cables and Breakaway Adapters
EVgo has taken a hard stance against the use of high-speed DC extension cables and breakaway adapters at its charging stations, prohibiting these accessories effective March 8th. This decision aims to maintain the company's network integrity and safety standards, while also discouraging the proliferation of potentially hazardous third-party products. As a result, enterprising companies like A2Z EV that offer affordable solutions for charging on non-Tesla vehicles may struggle to compete.
- The rise of restrictive terms in the EV charging industry highlights the importance of regulatory oversight and standardization, as companies navigate complex relationships with automakers and consumers.
- Will governments and industry bodies take action to establish clear guidelines and standards for EV charging accessories, or will the market continue to be shaped by the whims of individual companies?
