Existing charging networks like ChargePoint, and Blink were slow to roll out CCS1 chargers, though EVgo's build-out was slightly faster. In 2015, as part of its dieselgate emissions scandal settlement, VW committed to spending US$2 billion over 10 years to deploy a large-scale CCS1 charging network in North America. Electrify America was born and has since grown to offer more than 3,600 CCS1 chargers across the continental US.
