General Motors (GM) and EV Connect are revving up the EV charging experience with Plug and Charge, a seamless technology accessible through GM vehicle brand apps. Starting today, GM drivers can simply plug in and charge at nearly 200 compatible DC fast chargers nationwide, eliminating the need for payment cards or RFID tags. This collaboration marks another step towards a frictionless EV ownership experience and is expected to further boost EV adoption.
Plug and Charge: Powering Convenience
By removing the hassle of initiating charging sessions, Plug and Charge empowers drivers to focus on the road. A one-time enrollment within a GM vehicle brand app is all it takes. Simply plug in at a participating station, identified through a dedicated filter in the app, and charging begins. This intuitive approach saves valuable time and avoids the inconvenience of scanning, swiping, or entering billing information.
Jon Leicester, Vice President, Head of Commercial at EV Connect, highlights the benefits:
“This collaboration helps to relieve GM EV drivers from one of the most common friction points of the charging process, enhancing the EV ownership experience, and holds the potential to drive EV adoption further. I am delighted to continue our work with GM toward making EV charging hassle-free and convenient.”
