General Motors plans to install up to 40,000 Level 2 charging stations across the U.S. and Canada through its Dealer Community Charging Program.
This comes after GM announced the installation of the first community charging stations in Wisconsin and Michigan.
About 1,000 GM dealers have enrolled in the charging program — about a quarter of all GM dealers in North America. The program initially opened to Chevrolet dealers earlier this year and will expand to Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealers in January of 2023. Dealers are eligible to receive up to 10 19.2-kilowatt Level 2 charging stations.
When the 40,000 charging stations are installed, it will double the current number of public Level 2 charging stations from GM.
“Nearly 90% of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of a GM dealership,” said Hoss Hassani, vice president of GM EV ecosystem. “Our dealers are deeply involved and trusted in their communities and are well positioned to determine locations that expand access to EV charging, including at small businesses, entertainment venues, schools and other popular destinations.”
FLO will be the first U.S. company selected to build the stations at its factory in Auburn Hills, Michigan, serving as the primary production location.
