ChargePoint, a provider of networked charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), and General Motors (GM) have announced plans to further accelerate EV infrastructure growth in the US.
The companies are joining efforts to install hundreds of ultra-fast charging ports at strategic locations across the country, featuring the latest innovations in EV charging to improve access to chargers and help drivers get back on the road faster than ever.
ChargePoint and GM intend for the locations to be opened and available to the public before the end of 2025.
Branded GM Energy, many applicable locations will be equipped with ChargePoint’s revolutionary Omni Port system. Omni Port allows vehicles with CCS or NACS charging ports to seamlessly charge at any charger without the need to carry an adapter or dedicate a parking space to a particular connector type. Many of the charging stations planned for the collaboration will feature ultra-fast charging through ChargePoint’s Express Plus platform, capable of charging speeds up to 500 kW.
Through the collaboration, ChargePoint and GM are accelerating the deployment of DC fast charging across the US through an incentive program designed to make it easier for third-party charge point operators (CPOs) to own and operate EV charging infrastructure. The companies aim to open these new charging stations rapidly, with the locations deployed by the end of 2025.
