Houston, get ready to plug in and rev up! General Motors (GM) and ChargePoint are turning heads and charging batteries as they roll out a game-changing plan to install up to 500 ultra-fast EV charging stations across the U.S. by 2025. Forget range anxiety—this partnership is revving up for a future where EV drivers can hit the road and charge up faster than ever.

The Details: Ultra-Fast, Omni-Compatible, and Ready for the Future

GM Energy and ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT) are merging innovation with convenience to make electric vehicles the obvious choice for drivers everywhere. At the heart of this collaboration is ChargePoint’s Omni Port connector system, a revolutionary technology allowing both CCS and NACS-equipped vehicles to charge seamlessly. No adapters, no fuss—just plug and power up.

For those who love speed (and who doesn’t in H-Town?), these chargers are powered by ChargePoint’s Express Plus platform, capable of delivering up to 500kW. In real terms? Your car could be ready to roll in the time it takes to grab a coffee and check Instagram.

Why Does It Matter?

Houston isn’t just any city—it’s an energy capital where innovation drives us forward. With gas prices on the rollercoaster, EVs have become more than just buzz-worthy; they’re practical, sustainable, and downright cool. GM and ChargePoint’s mission to accelerate EV infrastructure growth means that charging stations won’t just dot the map—they’ll reshape the future of road trips, commutes, and everything in between.

Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint, summed it up best: “This collaboration with GM represents a significant investment in the infrastructure to enable fast and easy charging for all.”
