       July 7 (Reuters) - More electric-vehicle makers signed
up to access Tesla's charging infrastructure across the United
States, potentially making the Elon Musk-led company's
superchargers the industry standard.  
    Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) is more
widely available and reliable than rival charging network CCS,
which is backed by automakers such as Volkswagen  VOWG_p.DE  and
Hyundai Motor  005380.KS .
    Here is a list of the companies adopting NACS:
