General Motors and ChargePoint on Wednesday announced plans to deploy up to 500 DC fast-chargers before the end of 2025.

Using GM Energy branding, the chargers will be supplied by ChargePoint, according to the companies. Many of the chargers will use ChargePoint’s Omni Port to allow electric vehicles with Combined Charging Standard (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports to charge at the same station without any adapter.

GM and ChargePoint promise power rates of up to 500 kw, surpassing those of the automaker’s current partnership with EVgo, which goes back to 2020 when GM announced that it would help fund the expansion of EVgo’s network, which is made up exclusively of fast chargers.

In 2021, GM and EVgo doubled down on that partnership, adding 500 more chargers to the original target of 2,750 by 2025, with an emphasis on urban locations and support for electric ride hailing. And earlier this year, the two companies announced 400 chargers in major U.S. metropolitan areas, to come online beginning in 2025. These will charge at up to 350 kw and will feature a gas-station-like pull-through configuration.

GM and EVgo also began collaborating on a coast-to-coast charging network in 2022, with 350-kw fast-chargers installed at Pilot and Flying J travel centers catering to road trippers rather than urban dwellers. The first of those locations opened in late 2023.

The additional charging partnership comes as GM plans to reset its battery strategy. Earlier this month the automaker announced that it would sell its stake in a Michigan battery factory to LG, while also partnering with that company on prismatic battery cells as a potential alternative to the pouch cells used in current GM EVs.
