General Motors is partnering with Flo and its dealer network to add about 40,000 new AC electric vehicle charging points in the US and Canada. Funded from a $750 million pot of money earmarked for charging infrastructure projects, the Dealer Community Charging Program will place AC chargers in rural communities and urban areas where charging "deserts" are known to exist.
There are, of course, a lot more refueling options for electric vehicles compared with their combustion car counterparts - home charging, public AC charging, and DC fast charging. General Motors has addressed home charging and DC fast charging in both metropolitan areas and along travel corridors through its partnership with Pilot. This latest program, first announced in October of 2021, will offer a lot more individual AC charging points, but with a maximum power rate of 19.2 kW, they will be somewhat slower than DC charging options.
