GM projects charger numbers will continue growing as it helps accelerate infrastructure deployment in communities and heavily traveled corridors through its various charging collaborations.
"GM's ongoing efforts to help accelerate the expansion of public charging infrastructure is an integral part of our commitment to an all-electric future," Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, said.
"Enabling access to even more publicly available fast chargers represents yet another way GM is focused on further improving the customer experience and making the transition to electric more seamless," Sheffer continued.
Through the joint venture IONNA, GM aims to install more than 30,000 chargers in urban and highway locations throughout the U.S. With Pilot Travel Centers and EVgo, GM is building 2,000 DC fast chargers at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel for EV drivers and fleets traveling long distances.
Drivers can use the GM vehicle brand app to locate available Superchargers, check station status, initiate a charge, and pay for charging sessions.
