Tesla plans to install 20,000 electric vehicle charging stations across 2,000 Hilton properties in the U.S., Mexico and Canada beginning next year, the companies said Thursday. For Tesla, the buildout of wall connectors is another way to increase mass adoption by offering more convenient charging locations. Schuyler says the availability of EV charging stations is playing a significant role in driving hotel bookings. 2 is EV charging. Hilton will work with its owners to identify properties alongside roadways and in other key urban locations that would make most sense for Tesla to install its charging stations.

3M is on the verge of ending the largest mass tort litigation in U.S. history, but it's still facing other expensive legal headaches. The company said Tuesday that it settled with roughly 250,000 plaintiffs in a $6.01 billion deal. Military veterans and service members alleged 3M manufactured defective earplugs that resulted in hearing loss. While news of the settlement relieves one big legal overhang, 3M is still awaiting approval of its $10.3 billion settlement with water utilities over drinking water contaminated with substances known as "forever chemicals." That settlement, which is facing pushback from more than 20 states, only covers a subset of liabilities and does not include a growing list of states that have sued 3M.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi waves to supporters as he arrives at the Lotte New York Palace hotel in New York City, June 20, 2023. As China's economy falters, top U.S. corporate executives are making it a priority to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his state visit to the White House, including Thursday's dinner. The administration is going all out to give the prime minister a close-to-royal welcome," Frank Wisner, former U.S. ambassador to India, told CNBC. China is one of the agenda items when Modi meets with Biden and U.S. executives Thursday and Friday. With China's economy decelerating and political tensions high, corporate America has taken steps to diversify away from the country.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is scheduled to meet India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in New York during Modi's visit to the United States, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Musk and Modi are expected to discuss Tesla's ambitions in the country, setting up a manufacturing base and possible incentives for battery production. Tesla has discussed operating in India in the past, but so far hasn't reached an agreement there. Tesla's largest manufacturing base outside the U.S. is in China, and it's also working on a major facility outside Berlin. While India is widely seen as a growth market for the broader automotive industry, the International Energy Agency projects electric car sales still represent a small share of the global market.

General Electric is in final discussions to cement a partnership with India's Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. to co-manufacture jet engines in the country, CNBC has learned. Earlier this week, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited India and discussed the jet engine deal with Indian officials, sources told CNBC. The nature of the agreement — whether it will be labeled a partnership, joint venture or co-assembly — still remains to be seen. The potential GE deal comes as India's economy has grown exponentially, drawing more interest from corporate giants like Apple , Google and Amazon . "We certainly see a lot of activity brewing in India," GE CEO Larry Culp told CNBC in late April, weeks after Air India placed a massive order for more than 800 GE LEAP engines.

Booking , Expedia and Airbnb are among travel companies looking for ways to ease the booking process and help consumers more swiftly make plans. This tool will help you narrow that down pretty quickly," Priceline CEO Brett Keller told CNBC. The generative AI tools from Google will allow prospective travelers to communicate with a chatbot in a conversational way when making plans and receive personalized hotel bookings. Google Cloud is providing the tools and capabilities to help Priceline collect and scrub data that can then be used to help customers. Earlier this year, Expedia was among the first players to signal its investment in generative AI.
