JAKARTA - In partnership with the Pilot Company of gas stations and truck stops, General Motors will build a 2,000 EV charging network. This charging network is expected to help drivers charge when they are traveling from coast to coast in the United States.
From the 2,000 DC fast charger network, it will be distributed to 500 existing Pilot and Flying J locations. So, on average per location there will be approximately four chargers that will be placed along the US highway from New York to Los Angeles.
Launching TheDrive, GM and Pilot will work with EVs of any brand and produce up to 350 kWH of power. However, GM promises that GM EVs will receive special offers such as discounts, and exclusive reservations. GM says that the first phase charger is expected to be up and running sometime next year.
In fact, Tesla's extensive network of superchargers along US roads already makes it possible to travel from coast to coast. However, for several years, it became clear that it was only compatible with Tesla EV vehicles.
Then last Friday, the White House confirmed that the Supercharger would soon be unlocking all other EVs. For this reason, the steps taken by GM and Pilot will be a breath of fresh air for the creation of an EV charging network.
"But if we are collectively serious about widespread EV adoption, we will take every charger we can get our hands on, no matter which automaker supports it," the company wrote.
