ChargePoint and GM Partner to Install 500 EV Fast Chargers

ChargePoint and General Motors recently announced an exciting collaboration to bring up to 500 ultra-fast charging ports to strategic locations across the U.S. These new charging spots, known as GM Energy, are set to welcome the public by the end of 2025.

Part of this initiative will involve the installation of ChargePoint’s innovative Omni Port system at many of the new locations. This system allows vehicles with CCS or NACS charging ports to utilize any charger without the need for an adapter or dedicated parking space for a specific connector type. Additionally, these new locations will feature ultra-fast charging via ChargePoint’s Express Plus platform, which can provide charging speeds of up to 500kW.

ChargePoint’s CEO, Rick Wilmer, noted that collaborations like these with industry leaders like General Motors are key drivers in the shift towards electric mobility. He expressed excitement about the investment in infrastructure to facilitate fast and convenient charging for all residents. Together, ChargePoint and GM aim to offer a seamless, reliable, and top-notch charging experience through state-of-the-art hardware and software solutions.

GM Energy’s Vice President, Wade Sheffer, emphasized the importance of providing customers with improved charging options. By expanding access to reliable and convenient charging experiences, GM hopes to further enhance the ownership experience for EV drivers.

This partnership also involves an incentive program designed to boost the deployment of DC fast charging across the country. Through this program, third-party charge point operators (CPOs) will find it easier to own and operate EV charging infrastructure, aiding in the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
