LG Electronics announced its entry into the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) charging market, set to begin in 2024 with the introduction of its first series of AC and DC charging stations. The company's move targets businesses, municipalities, and other public venues looking to own and operate their own charging infrastructure.
Nicolas Min, Senior Vice President at LG Business Solutions USA, stated that the company is committed to supporting the development of EV infrastructure, which is critical for the nation's clean energy goals. LG aims to offer a flexible range of charging solutions to meet the growing demand for EV charging.
