Electric Highway Coalition has announced plans to build a seamless network of chargers to make electric vehicle charging simpler and less strenuous in America.
The coalition is made up of six major utility companies. They are American Electric Power, Dominion Energy, Duke Energy, Energy Corporation, Southern Co., and Tennessee Valley Authority.

It stated that the planned network would be built focusing on DC fast-charging to allow people to more easily cover great distances in their electric cars, with locations planned along major highways and near other services.
Each independent utility company will select its own sites and build its own charging stations, according to the group.
If this network comes to fruition, and if it’s genuinely seamless for drivers — a single app needed to pay, enough charging spaces, etc. — then it could serve as a blueprint for a future nationwide charging network run by utility companies and subject to the same kind of regulation and oversight.
