The new chargers promise power rates of up to 500 kW, surpassing GM’s previous partnership with EVgo. This marks a significant step forward in GM’s efforts to expand their electric vehicle charging network.
In addition to the DC fast chargers, GM and EVgo have also announced plans for a coast-to-coast charging network, with 350-kW fast chargers installed at Pilot and Flying J travel centers. This network will cater to road trippers and provide convenient charging options for long-distance travel.

As part of their commitment to sustainability, GM is also resetting its battery strategy and exploring new technologies. This includes selling its stake in a Michigan battery factory to LG and partnering with them on prismatic battery cells for future EV models.
