ChargePoint and GM have announced a collaborative effort to install hundreds of ultra-fast charging ports at strategic locations across the US under the GM Energy brand.

The new EV charging stations will feature ChargePoint’s latest innovations. Many will support the new Omni Port system, which allows vehicles with CCS or NACS charging ports to seamlessly charge at any charger, with no need for adapters. Many will support ChargePoint’s Express Plus platform, which is capable of charging speeds up to 500 kW.

ChargePoint and GM also plan to implement 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 the new batch of charging stations by the end of 2025.

“Continuing to provide customers with better charging options helps to remove barriers to EV adoption and improve the ownership experience,” said GM Energy VP Wade Sheffer. “Today, GM drivers have access to hundreds of thousands of places to charge, and this collaboration with ChargePoint adds even more reliable, accessible and convenient charging experiences.”

“Our collaboration with GM represents a significant investment in the infrastructure to enable fast and easy charging for all,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “Together, ChargePoint and GM will deliver a seamless fast charging experience via reliable charging hardware managed by our industry-leading software platform.”
