Kentucky is requiring that electric vehicle charging companies include Tesla's plug if they want to be part of a state program to electrify highways using federal dollars, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.

Tesla has been working with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to make their plug an actual standard. That was approved, and so manufacturers and governments are now announcing their own plans to use it. They were already making those plans, but wouldn't announce before the SAE indicated they'd approve it.

Ah okay. That makes more sense. And the SAE approval happened recently?
