GM EV owners currently have roughly 174,000 public chargers at their disposal, with plans to continue to grow the charging network in the future.
The EV public charger tally was disclosed during GM’s recent Q4 2023 earnings presentation, which also included a brief outline of The General’s future EV charging network plans.
According to General Motors, GM EV owners can access around 174,000 public chargers via the myBrand app, with 15,000 Tesla Superchargers expected to become available to GM customers by the first half of the 2024 calendar year. Additionally, at least 30,000 high-powered chargers will open up by 2030 as part of a seven-automaker collaboration, while a collaboration between EVgo and Pilot Company is expected to add over 3,000 public DC fast chargers by the end of the 2024 calendar year.
As GM Authority covered last year, General Motors will adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS) in new GM EVs starting in 2025. The NACS was originally developed by Tesla. In conjunction with the announcement made last year, General Motors also stated that GM customers would gain access to 12,000 Tesla Supercharger stations throughout North America starting early in 2024, while the automaker will also offer adapters for NACS-enabled vehicles to provide access to CSS-capable fast charge stations.
Ford made a similar announcement, stating that it too would begin producing EVs equipped with an NACS port.
General Motors plans to launch 30 new EVs globally by 2025, while fully transitioning its entire light-duty vehicle fleet to zero tailpipe emissions by the 2035 timeframe. What’s more, The General also recently announced it would reintroduce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to North America as a means of meeting rising fuel economy and emissions standards during the EV transition, with company CEO Mary Barra stating that PHEV technology would help to “deliver some of the environmental benefits of EVs as the nation continues to build its charging infrastructure.”

How can money be made with the land / facility costs for that size of station from charging maybe 4 vehicles an hour during a 12 hour work day??
Better yet, what would one have to “charge-per-charge” to in-fact make it a sustainable business?
Whatever.
And approximately 115,400 gas stations with multiple pumps, some Costco stations have 20 pumps.
I love the lines at the Costco gas stations, no better way to spend a Saturday! I’d rather plug in while I’m shopping and kill 2 birds with one stone.
While your car is charging at Costco, you may get a hundred miles when you are done (providing you can get a charging station). After waiting 20 mins to fill your tank at Costco, you have 400 mile or more range when youre done
David, no one enjoys sitting in lines. That is your choice. However, you’ll spend at least that when you travel on a cross country trip and then some. Even in the middle of nowhere every time you need to top off.
And never one that works, at the right place and the right time.
I have had very positive experiences with the free EVGo charging provided to me from GM with the purchase of my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq.
The EVGo chargers have worked very well for me. You simply plug in and charging starts —- no need for credit cards when one has an account established . I’m looking forward to additional EVGo chargers at Pilot Flying J.
One of the best things about EVs is the convenience of charging at home.
174000 chargers? That has to be a typo. There aren’t that many chargers online currently in North America.
