GM Adds ChargePoint Network to Energy Pass EV App

What EV Shoppers Should Know

• Energy Pass is GM’s electric-vehicle charging tool, incorporated into apps like MyChevrolet.
• ChargePoint is among the largest charging networks in the U.S.
• Adding ChargePoint gives Energy Pass information on nearly 70% of DC fast chargers in the country.

The time it takes to recharge an EV is only part of what makes “refueling” one in public more complicated than filling up an internal combustion vehicle. Whereas gas stations tend to be highly visible and easy to find, EV chargers are typically tucked out of sight. Navigation apps like Google Maps might help drivers find them, but they don’t always have current availability information, meaning you might arrive to find every stall taken.

That’s where tools like GM’s recently announced Energy Pass come in.

What Is GM’s Energy Pass?

Integrated into the MyChevrolet, MyCadillac and MyGMC apps, Energy Pass gives drivers of the brands’ EVs a single window into multiple charging networks. With the addition of ChargePoint, Energy Pass now incorporates three of the four largest public charging networks in the country. When EVgo is added later in 2026, the app will include almost 70% of all DC fast chargers in the U.S., as well as some 60% of public Level 2 plugs.

ChargePoint joins Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America and Ionna — the cooperative effort between GM and six other automakers — in Energy Pass. Apps like Energy Pass not only help make finding available plugs easier, they also streamline paying for a charge. Without a consolidation tool like Energy Pass, EV drivers need an account with each individual network to be able to plug in and pay for their charge. It’s as if Shell required drivers to have an account to buy their gas and BP, Marathon and Speedway all did the same.

Everything Everywhere All in One

Energy Pass allows GM-brand EV drivers to find and pay for juice at all participating charging networks through a single portal. Furthermore, at ChargePoint, Tesla and Ionna chargers, Energy Pass features Plug & Charge. Plug & Charge fully automates the authorization and payment process. Drivers simply pull up, plug in and leave when their charge is complete; payment happens with no action on the driver’s part.

Many EVs are now capable of traveling more than 300 miles on a charge, and shoppers have numerous choices for under $40,000. Developing sufficient public charging infrastructure to support EVs is the next critical component in the growth of the EV market. The U.S. recently surpassed 250,000 public charging stalls, and apps like Energy Pass that make those plugs more accessible are key to fueling that growth.
