Biden pushes for new energy vehicle development, six major U.S. utilities work together to build a charging network

The six major U.S. utility companies recently jointly announced a plan to build more electric vehicle charging stations along major highways across the country to meet the needs of the rapidly growing electric vehicle market.

The alliance includes American Electric Power, Dominion Energy DN, Duke Energy, Entergy Corp, Southern Co. and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

The alliance plans to expand the charging network to the U.S. Atlantic coast, the Midwest and the South, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.

US President Biden attaches great importance to the development of the electric vehicle industry and has pledged to build 550,000 electric vehicle charging stations. Automakers such as Tesla and General Motors are also increasing their investment in the research and development and production of electric vehicles.

Lang Reynolds, director of electrification strategy at Duke Energy, said: "Achieving clean energy transportation requires the construction of a large number of charging infrastructure along the country's major highways to eliminate consumers' range anxiety about electric vehicles and help consumers enjoy the benefits of electric vehicles. This alliance will remove the biggest barrier to more consumers' adoption of electric vehicles through charging infrastructure construction."

American Electric Power said it is working with select customers to help them realize the benefits of electrification.
