GM and EVgo are jointly installing 2,850 DC fast charging stations across the US. In large urban areas, there are up to 400 fast charging locations with 350 kW chargers for super-fast charging. These charging stations are designed to be wide enough to help models charge easily; the light is also fully equipped to ensure safety, with additional roofs to protect against bad weather.
GM also cooperated with pilot Flying J and EVgo to add up to 2,000 DC fast chargers at 500 pilot and Flying J tourist centers. Currently, more than 130 locations have been put into operation. To ensure that new charging stations are located in the most efficient locations, GM data science engineers are applying AI to analyze electric vehicle traffic, driver behavior and existing infrastructure to determine optimal charging locations.
By considering location selection an optimal problem, algorithms evaluate factors such as vehicle lines and access to other chargers. The results are then displayed on a detailed map, helping stakeholders understand the reason behind each proposal. The company's experts will review and fine-tune these suggestions to perfect the charging station arrangement plan.
GM will then work with partners to deploy strategic charging stations. This approach combines advanced technology and industry cooperation to solve one of the biggest barriers to the use of electric vehicles, thereby encouraging users to switch to electric vehicles.
