Santa Ana, California-based BTC has sold more than 22,000 chargers - more than half of them high-speed ones - to charge point operators, fleets and retailers, and counts Electrify America, Ford and (AMZN.O) among its customers. "By including the NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector to our chargers we can eliminate the need for unreliable and unpredictable adapters that are being utilized by drivers using our equipment," BTC CEO Frank Meza said.
Privately-owned BTC, a supplier to 7-Eleven and fleet operators, is the fourth major fast charger maker to embrace Tesla's standard, following ABB E-mobility North America (ABBN.S), Tritium DCFC (DCFC.O), and SK Signet (260870.KN).Ī national EV charging network is key to addressing worries about range and luring customers away from combustion engine driven vehicles and BTC's decision accelerates Tesla's push to dominate the nascent yet fast-growing industry.
