New York (CNN Business) General Motors, America's largest automaker, and Bechtel, the country's largest construction company, are teaming up to build thousands of electric vehicle fast-charging stations across the United States. The two companies have agreed to create a new company that will build the charger network. Adding more fast charging stations should provide a boost to sales of electric cars. Bechtel, meanwhile, will provide its own expertise in engineering, building and permitting for the stations. The two companies will create a separate corporation to build the charging network and other companies are being invited to invest in it.
