The Electrify America EV charging network, which boasts over 5,000 locations, is now accessible for GM EV customers via the automaker’s branded smartphone apps. Drivers can use their myChevrolet, myGMC or myCadillac apps to find nearby charging stations with real-time availability information, plan routes, monitor charging session status, and pay for charging directly in the app.
Multiple charging apps are the bane of road-tripping EV drivers. Adding support for charging networks within branded apps is one way OEMs can improve the charging experience for their customers. GM aims to connect EV drivers to an expanding ecosystem of public charging infrastructure. GM owners can navigate to the Public Charging page in their myBrand apps and look for supported networks.
“We’re collaborating across the industry to deliver not just more chargers, but better public charging experiences,” said Wade Sheffer, Vice President, GM Energy. “Our work with Electrify America helps make public charging easier to access for GM EV drivers.”
“As EV travel continues to grow, so does the need for convenient charging experiences,” said Robert Barrosa, CEO and President of Electrify America. “Through this integration, GM EV drivers have more Hyper-Fast chargers to choose from and a seamless experience they can count on nationwide.”
