General Motors has completed the integration of ChargePoint into Energy Pass, a move the company says will extend the unified charging platform to roughly 70% of U.S. DC fast chargers through the myChevrolet, myGMC and myCadillac apps. The update lands just weeks after GM announced Energy Pass, the app-based tool that lets drivers find, start and pay for public charging without juggling separate accounts. With ChargePoint now included, Energy Pass also gives drivers access to about 60% of U.S. public Level 2 charging, according to GM. Many ChargePoint stations available through the integration support Plug & Charge, letting eligible drivers begin a session automatically once they plug in.
Highlights
- ChargePoint integration is complete, giving Energy Pass users access to ChargePoint’s DC fast and Level 2 charging network through the myChevrolet, myGMC and myCadillac apps.
- GM says the addition helps Energy Pass reach approximately 70% of U.S. DC fast chargers and about 60% of U.S. public Level 2 chargers.
- Many ChargePoint stations support Plug & Charge, letting eligible drivers begin a session automatically after plugging in.
- GM and ChargePoint have added hundreds of new DC fast-charging locations over the past year, including sites in Michigan, California, Florida and upstate New York.
ChargePoint Joins the Energy Pass Network
Energy Pass is GM’s charging feature built into the myChevrolet, myGMC and myCadillac apps, letting drivers find, start and pay for a charging session without downloading a separate app or re-entering payment details on each new network. Energy Pass launched in June, and GM has been adding charging networks to the platform since then.
With ChargePoint now integrated, drivers can use the same in-app experience to reach ChargePoint’s DC fast and Level 2 stations. Many of those stations also support Plug & Charge, so a driver can plug in and start a session without opening the app or tapping a screen.
GM says the ChargePoint addition, combined with other planned network integrations, is expected to bring Energy Pass to approximately 70% of U.S. DC fast chargers. The ChargePoint network alone gives Energy Pass users access to about 60% of U.S. public Level 2 chargers, according to the company.
GM and ChargePoint Expand Fast-Charging Locations
Beyond the app integration, GM and ChargePoint have collaborated for more than a year to build new public charging locations in markets the companies say have limited fast-charging access. Many of the new sites use ChargePoint’s Omniport hardware, which lets drivers with NACS or CCS1 connectors charge at the same stall — GM says these locations rank near the top of popular crowd-sourced ratings.
Recent additions include:
- Elmwood Township, Michigan: Four charging stalls near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, in a county GM says previously had no DC fast charging.
- Redding, California: Sixteen NACS and CCS charging stalls along the Sacramento River, near the Sundial Bridge.
- Winter Park, Florida: Seven NACS and CCS charging stalls near Orlando-area attractions.
- Upstate New York: Multiple fast-charging sites along state highways connecting Lake Placid, Niagara Falls, the Finger Lakes and Cooperstown.
