General Motors (GM) has announced plans to set up to 500 DC fast-charging ports at strategic locations across the United States. These stations will be equipped with ChargePoint’s Express Plus platform, which can support charge speeds of up to 500kW. The goal is to have these charging stations operational by the end of 2025.
ChargePoint will be providing its Omni Port charging hardware for this project. This hardware is compatible with vehicles that have either CCS or Tesla’s NACS ports, eliminating the need for owners to carry an adapter.
GM Energy Vice President Wade Sheffer expressed excitement about the collaboration, highlighting the benefits of ultra-fast charging, Omni Port technology, and the overall customer experience. This partnership aims to provide EV drivers and those interested in electric vehicles with a reason to be excited about the future of sustainable transportation.
