Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, July 12 (Reuters)-Texas postponed the vote on federal funds to build electric car charging stations until August 16 because some charging companies opposed the inclusion of Tesla's charging standard NACS in charging stations, according to Reuters.

Reported that Texas requires electric vehicle charging companies to use both Tesla's charging standard NACS and American standard joint charging system CCS, so as to obtain federal financial support to realize the state's highway electrification plan.

A few days later, some electric car charger manufacturers and operators fought back against the plan, saying they needed time to test the interoperability of Tesla converters with CCS standards.

The Texas vote has been closely watched by the industry because it could push for similar action in other states, which have previously talked about similar plans in Washington and Kentucky. "Texas is a bit like a fortress," said people familiar with the matter. What they have done has set a precedent for transportation departments in other states. The influence they can exert is very powerful. "

According to previous reports from CTOnews.com, the U.S. Department of Transportation said earlier this year that charging companies must provide support for the CCS standard to qualify for up to $7.5 billion in federal funding, a move to prevent Tesla's NACS standard from dominating the North American charging network. However, federal money flows to the grass-roots level through the states, so states have the right to increase restrictions on the use of funds based on the minimum requirements of the central government, which makes it necessary for the Texas government to require charging companies to meet both NACS and CCS standards.
