charging tech)
       Aug 17 (Reuters) - More automakers signed up to access
Tesla's electric-vehicle charging infrastructure across the
United States, taking the Elon Musk-led company's superchargers
closer to becoming the industry standard.
    Texas has approved a plan to require EV charging companies
to include Tesla's plug if they want to be eligible for federal
funds.
    Tesla's North American Charging Standard 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:
