Meanwhile, even Teslas are venturing beyond their native network. As charging borders blur, the real question now is: who controls the future of the plug?

Eleven governors just launched a powerful coalition to make clean cars more affordable and accessible across the U.S. Backed by over 100 million Americans, the plan targets cost, infrastructure, and consumer choice.
