ChargePoint joins GM Energy Pass, unlocking 80,000 ports
SkimNews Take
By consolidating access to roughly 70% of US DC fast chargers under one app, GM reframes charging from a public infrastructure question into a brand-controlled experience, turning what was a cross-network hassle into a GM-specific convenience.

- ChargePoint is now fully integrated into GM's new Energy Pass app, letting GM EV drivers find, start, and pay for charging without setting up another account.
- GM's Energy Pass launched weeks ago inside the myChevrolet, myGMC, and myCadillac apps and now adds ChargePoint's network of nearly 80,000 US public charging ports.
- ChargePoint's US footprint includes roughly 75,000 Level 2 ports and more than 4,400 DC fast-charging ports, according to federal Alternative Fuels Data Center figures from early 2026.
- Many of the ChargePoint stations available through Energy Pass support Plug & Charge, allowing the vehicle and charger to handle authentication and payment automatically.
- GM expects Energy Pass to reach around 70% of all US DC fast chargers and roughly 60% of US public Level 2 chargers once its other planned network integrations go live.
Why it matters: GM EV drivers now get in-app access to ChargePoint's roughly 80,000 US charging ports — no new account — covering an estimated 70% of DC fast chargers and 60% of Level 2 stations nationwide once planned integrations complete. That's a real convenience upgrade for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac owners who've juggled multiple charging apps and logins at the pump.
