While Electrify America was initiated through the EPA and CARB, forcing Volkswagen to spend $2 billion on EV charging infrastructure in the US, the result is that Volkswagen now has the leading fast charging network available to all electric vehicles in the US.
The company was expected to surpass its required investment and continue to grow its network, which could soon turn into a major business as more electric vehicles are deployed in the US.

We are making this commitment to support the plans of major automakers and the U.S. and Canadian to help transform the transportation system to an electric mobility system.”
