According to documents reviewed by Reuters, Kentucky’s federally funded highway electrification program requires electric vehicle charging providers to use Tesla’s connection.
On Friday, Kentucky became the first state to mandate Tesla’s charging system, following Texas and Washington states’ intentions reported by Reuters.
Kentucky’s request for proposal (RFP) for its EV charging program on Friday required Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug at charging stations in addition to federal CCS regulations.
Each port needs an SAE CCS 1 connector. The documents state that each port can connect to and charge NACS-compliant automobiles.
