On Friday, General Motors and electric vehicle charging company EVgo announced their partnership with the country’s DC fast-charging infrastructure. The plan is to deploy more than 2,700 fast DC chargers, capable of charging at 100-350 kW, with at least 4 station-compatible chargers. The release will begin in 2021 and is expected to end until 2025.
General Motors is pronouncing a new battery platform and soon claims that $100/kWh GM is about to put into production a new EV battery architecture called BEV3 and a new battery design called Ultium. The company also has plans for several new EVFs on those flexible bases.
The first of these will be an SUV, the Cadillac Lyriq, which will be officially introduced on August 7; after that, it is an electric GMC Hummer, which could involve a 200kWh battery and an 800V architecture (which would therefore gain advantages from a 350kW charger).
“We know how vital the cargo ecosystem is to drivers, an ecosystem that includes access to convenient and reliable public immediate cargo. Our EVgo appointments will be the public immediate charging network that will be held for EV consumers before the market calls for increases and our commitment to an all-electric, emissions-free future,” GM President and CEO Mary Barra said in a statement.
As a component of Electrify America’s plan to simplify the charging of electric cars According to Green Car Reports, EVgo is reading 40 major metropolitan spaces for new chargers. For now, any of the corporations just say that charging stations will “be in highly visual spaces.” EVgo has recently operated 800 fast charging stations, almost twice as many as Electrify America (lately with 452 active sites and 104 more under construction).
Neither GM nor EVgo communicates how much it will cost to build these new loaders; In the case of Electrify America, Volkswagen had to spend $2 billion on infrastructure cargo in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal.
