and future EVs
Today, ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of networked
charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), and General Motors
(GM) today announced plans to further accelerate EV infrastructure
growth in the U.S. The companies are joining efforts to install
hundreds of ultra-fast charging ports at strategic locations across
the U.S., 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

“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,” said Rick
Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “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.”
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, which is
capable of charging speeds up to 500kW.
“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,” said Wade Sheffer, GM Energy vice president.
“With ultra-fast charging, Omni Port technology and excellent
customers experiences, this collaboration should be another reason
why EV drivers and the EV-curious should be excited.”
Through the collaboration, ChargePoint and GM are accelerating
the deployment of DC fast charging across the U.S. 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.
