GM & ChargePoint to Install Up to 500 EV Fast Charging Ports in the US

General Motors and ChargePoint have announced plans to further accelerate EV infrastructure growth in the US. The companies are joining efforts to install up to 500 ultra-fast charging ports at strategic locations across the country.

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 Omni Port system which allows vehicles with CCS or NACS charging ports to seamlessly charge at any charger.

Many of the charging stations planned for the collaboration will feature ultra-fast charging through ChargePoint’s Express Plus platform, which is capable of charging speeds up to 500kW.

Wade Sheffer, GM Energy vice president, says: “Continuing to provide customers with better charging options helps to remove barriers to EV adoption and improve the ownership experience. Today, GM drivers have access to hundreds of thousands of places to charge and we are proud that this collaboration with ChargePoint adds even more reliable, accessible and convenient charging experiences. With ultra-fast charging, Omni Port technology, and excellent customer experiences, this collaboration should be another reason why EV drivers and the EV-curious should be excited.”

Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint, adds: “The transition to electric mobility continues to be driven by leaders such as General Motors offering innovative EVs and committing to make chargers as ubiquitous as possible. Our collaboration with GM represents a significant investment in the infrastructure to enable fast and easy charging for all. Together, ChargePoint and GM will deliver a seamless fast charging experience via reliable charging hardware managed by our industry leading software platform."

Through the collaboration, GM and ChargePoint are accelerating the deployment of DC fast charging across the US.
