Electric vehicle charging companies are cautiously embracing Tesla's charging technology as the main U.S. standard, mere days after Ford and GM said they were adopting it, but questions remained about how any interoperability would work.

. EVgo Chief Commercial Officer Jonathan Levy told Reuters the company was working with its suppliers to "serve all EV drivers no matter what fast-charging connector they use".

Neither the automakers nor the U.S. government have explained how any interoperability would work or money would change hands. "If you don't have a Tesla and you use a Supercharger, it's not as clean-cut. How much integration do Ford, GM and other automakers really want to give Tesla on their vehicles to allow for this seamless integration? Or are they going to pivot into a less seamless integration to have access to a larger network?" Patel said.
