Electric vehicle adoption is accelerating rapidly, and General Motors is taking a significant step to support this growth through an expanded partnership with EVgo, a leading EV charging infrastructure provider.

The collaboration will add 400 new DC fast-charging stations across the United States, significantly expanding the existing EVgo network. These new stations will be strategically placed in both urban and suburban locations to maximize accessibility and convenience for EV drivers.

Each station will feature multiple charging ports capable of delivering up to 350kW, allowing for rapid charging of current and future EVs. The chargers will be compatible with all EV makes and models equipped with DC fast-charging capability, not just GM vehicles.

This initiative builds upon GM's existing commitment to electrification, including their plan to invest $27 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025. The partnership with EVgo represents another crucial step in making electric vehicle adoption more practical for American consumers.

Construction of the new charging stations will begin in early 2024, with completion expected by the end of 2025. The expanded network will help address one of the primary concerns among potential EV buyers - charging infrastructure availability.

EVgo will handle the installation and maintenance of the charging stations, while GM will provide strategic support and help identify optimal locations based on current and projected EV ownership patterns.

The new charging stations will be integrated into both GM's and EVgo's mobile apps, making it easier for drivers to locate available chargers and initiate charging sessions. Users will be able to see real-time charger availability and pay for charging directly through these applications.

This partnership demonstrates both companies' commitment to accelerating EV adoption by making charging more accessible and convenient for current and future electric vehicle owners.
