Tesla is planning to set for the first time make some of its charging stations available to every U.S. electric vehicles by the end of next year, under a new scheme announced by the White House.

The plan is to manufacture the output of 7,500 chargers from Tesla's Supercharger and Destination Charger network accessible to non-Tesla EVs by the year-end of 2024.

Joe Biden has put a goal that 50% of new U.S. car sales be electric by 2030, and he has pledged to set up 500,000 chargers across America and build a network of fast-charging stations across 53,000 miles of freeways nation widespread.

The anticipation made that by July 2024, 55% of the cost of all components must come from the U.S. New standards levied by the Transportation Department require that EV chargers supported through the infrastructure law be made in the United States, in force immediately.

Tesla, General Motors, EVgo, Pilot, Hertz, and other companies in consensus to expand their charging networks by numerous public charging ports in the coming two years, utilizing private funds and allied spending from the structural law, ''putting the nation's EV charging goals even closer within reach,'' the White House said.

Under the planning scheme, Tesla will establish charging spots at hotels, restaurants and other public amenities in urban and rural locales. Every EV driver will be capable to run these stations using the Tesla app or website, the officials said. Tesla plans to thrice its countrywide network chain of Superchargers over the next few years.

Automobile manufacturers advises before the rules were imposed that made-in-America needs on EV components could hamper EV growth.
