Tesla has secured a $100 million federal grant to develop an electric vehicle (EV) truck charging corridor in Illinois, collaborating with three industry partners on the project. This funding comes shortly after Tesla's proposal for a similar charging project spanning from California to Texas was not selected for federal support. The Illinois initiative aims to enhance the infrastructure for electric trucks across the state, reflecting a growing commitment to EV technology. In a related development, Netradyne, a company specializing in AI-enabled dashcams for commercial fleets, has raised $90 million at a valuation of $1.25 billion to expand its offerings.
