Dieselskandalen fick Volkswagen att betala miljarder dollar i böter i USA. En del av pengarna gick till att bygga upp Electrify America. Intressant är att man redan har stöd för Plug and Charge. Och att VW lanserar detta i år i USA.
Så VW ID4 köparna kan använda Plug and Charge redan i år.

Intressant är också att Electrify America köpt massor av Tesla Powerpacks.

Och ID4 ägare får 3 års gratis laddning.
Electrify America operates an electric vehicle DC fast charging network in the United States, with more than 500 charging locations and over 2,200 individual charging units as of November 2020.[1] It is a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group of America, established in late 2016 by the automaker as part of its efforts to offset emissions in the wake of the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

As part of a consent decree reached with United States officials in 2016, Volkswagen agreed to numerous actions, with $2 billion in total, to promote electric vehicle use over 10 years to atone for the additional air pollution it caused. One aspect of the program was a pledge to establish a public electric vehicle charging network.

The Electrify America brand was unveiled in January 2017, along with its first phase of station buildout. Its first station opened in May, 2018, in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

As of November 2020 the network's chargers support Plug & Charge, a standard that enables an electric car to talk to the charger and handle authentication and billing

Last year, Tesla and Electrify America, VW’s electric vehicle charging network, announced that they reached a deal for the former to deploy Powerpacks at more than 100 charging stations operated by the latter.
