The Joint Office is supporting the Biden administration's goals in opening up the diversity of EV chargers and connectors to more vehicles

The Joint Office – technically, the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation – was created through the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It’s a governmental agency tasked with leveraging all the EV dollars, experts (inside and outside of government) and competing interests.

Leading the office is Gabe Klein, executive director, who was recently addressed as the person “who has been working tirelessly to ensure a more integrated and accessible charging landscape for all EV users.”

Klein recently sat down to discuss the agency’s role in standardising charging connectors.

Among his statements: The Biden administration will not mandate CCS or NACS “or anything like that. It's really industry that needs to settle on the direction they want to go.”
