Kentucky says electric vehicle charging companies must include Tesla's plug if they want access to federal funds for electrifying highways.

The plan, which went into effect Friday, requires companies to include Tesla’s North American Charging Standard and the Combined Charging System if they want to qualify for state funding.

Tesla’s charging plug remains incredibly popular. After Ford and General Motors announced last year that they would be building future electric vehicles with Tesla charging technology, the rest of the industry seemed to follow their lead.
