GM To Help Build 2,700 New EV Fast Chargers In US

One of people's biggest concerns when it comes to electric vehicles is where and how to charge them. For most people, home charging is the answer, but some still need access to chargers in the same way they need access to gas stations.

Public charging keeps becoming more accessible, and General Motors GM is helping make that happen by assisting EVgo with installing 2,700 additional fast EV chargers over the next five years. This will triple the number of EVgo charging stations available.

For comparison, Tesla Inc TSLA has over 2,000 Supercharger stations, with 18,000 places to plug in Tesla vehicles.

GM plans to release its all-electric Hummer Truck fall 2021.
