Change.org Petition: Tesla Superchargers and Plugs should be the U​.​S. standard for EVs

The US is making huge strides toward making electric cars available for everyone. But out-of-date charging stations could ruin everything. The US standard charging ports are already old and inefficient, making it risky to drive knowing you might not be able to charge back up. Chris and Steve started a petition because they know Tesla is already making charging stations that conserve energy and could save millions of dollars. They want the Tesla superchargers to become the US standard for electric vehicles. Sign if you agree. Congress: Tesla Superchargers and Plugs should be the U​.​S. standard for EVs 24,126 have signed Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro’s petition. Let’s get to 25,000!

While electric vehicle technology has rapidly advanced, the charging standard in the U.S. has not. CCS and SAE J1772, the US’s common standards, are clunky, cumbersome, and expensive. A recent study showed Tesla Superchargers provide the best EV charging experience. The connector is easier to use, the port is small, convenient, and universal for AC or DC Fast Charging.   Imagine if every electric vehicle could utilize Tesla’s lightweight, incredibly efficient, elegant connector?   As the founders of Aptera, EV enthusiasts, and vehicle charging experts, we believe the U.S. government should adopt Tesla’s Supercharger Technology as the standard for ALL EV charging in the U.S.  A Texas program recently disclosed that installing a Supercharger station costs just one-fifth of other networks.  Given the significant amount of funding our government will put into charging infrastructure, we believe that fast charging stations across the U.S. should be based on Tesla’s standards.  If our country began to support Tesla’s charging standards now, we could begin expanding our infrastructure at a much reduced cost, saving $4 billion dollars on projected charging infrastructure spending through 2027. Imagine what other EV programs we could support with that $4 billion in savings!  If you agree that Tesla’s charging standards are good for EVs and the U.S., please help. Sign this petition and encourage decision-makers in Congress to adopt Tesla’s charging standards and connectors as the U.S. industry standard. With Washington D.C.’s goal for 50% of car sales to be electric by 2030, our country needs to adopt Tesla Supercharger and Plug standards before another dollar is wasted on inferior technology.
