GM, EV Charger Provider to Build Network

General Motors said it’s collaborating with electric-vehicle public charging network provider ChargePoint to install as many as 500 “ultra-fast” chargers across the U.S.
The Detroit automaker said many of the chargers will feature ChargePoint’s Omni Port system that’s billed as working for EVs by all automakers, without the need for an adapter.
The “GM Energy” chargers will be at “strategic” spots and be open for use by the end of next year, GM said in a press release announcing the project.
The “ultra-fast” charging capability will offer charging speed of up to 500 kilowatts, the companies said.
The plans point to the long-cited need for a more extensive public charging infrastructure, the lack of which has been an ongoing obstacle to mass adoption.
“Continuing to provide customers with better charging options helps to remove barriers to EV adoption and improve the ownership experience,” said GM Energy Vice President Wade Sheffer in the companies’ announcement.
They said the collaboration speeds up DC fast-charging in the U.S. “through an incentive program designed to make it easier for third-party charge point operators to own and operate EV charging infrastructure.”
