Going from the beach to the beach with electric vehicles sounds difficult. Although the charging points are more common now, and some EVs on the market have a very impressive range, it will still require a lot of planning. One slip-up or wrong round might make you stranded on the side of the road with a dead battery, waiting for someone in a gas-powered truck to pull you to the point of charging. Well, the risk of error in a long journey will decrease dramatically. According to a press release from GM, this motorcycle giant partnered with truck company pilots to install thousands of filling points throughout the United States.
The expanded charging network is only one part of the GM infrastructure plan worth $ 750 million. Another goal owned by the company is to enter “3,250 Kiosk Filling in the Main Metro” in the next three years, “up to 40,000 charging in the local dealer community,” and “allow access” to more than 100,000 charging points in North America . The project is also related to the $ 1 billion pilot plan to improve its national travel center. Popular truck stops will be equipped with a number of premium features, including “free Wi-Fi in most locations, expanded seats and lounges, updated and modernized toilets, restaurants in places including hot and cold signatures that are typical of pilots, premium coffee, Pilot., And shop for trips and souvenirs. “People who collect their vehicles in one of the pilot travel centers will have access to all 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
EV GM filling network develops dramatically
GM intends to make a network of 2,000 charging stalls in up to 500 pilots and fly the J travel center throughout the country. Kiosk -kios will be open to vehicles from all producers, although GM electric vehicles driving will have access to several facilities. The GM driver will benefit from the discount, “the leaning process,” and the ability to make a reservation. Among the new charging is the 350-KW fast charging stall. This level 3 charger is able to provide up to 120 miles in the range of only 10-20 minutes, depending on the vehicle used. Kiosks that can be filled quickly will be provided by Evgo, who also partner with GM to install more than 3,250 fast charging in various cities. A statement from a car company said Evgo was chosen as a partner in the project because of “his expertise in building, operating, and maintaining DC fast charging infrastructure.”
Mary Barra, Chairperson of GM and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are committed to the future of all-electricity, zero-emission, and ensuring that the right charging infrastructure in its place is an important part of the puzzle.” Many new stations have been placed specifically in rural or less served. This can increase EV sales because the lack of filling infrastructure has been repeatedly identified as a key factor that holds the adoption of electric vehicles. The GM Filling Kiosk “Phase One” EV is expected to operate at several points next year. Finally, the filling point may be available every 50 miles along the main road.
