GM Energy reports sustained growth as it broadens charging infrastructure

General Motors continues to expand its electrification strategy through GM Energy, an initiative aimed at supporting electric vehicle adoption and improving access to charging infrastructure. Launched to address barriers to EV ownership, GM Energy focuses on providing reliable charging solutions at home and in public, while giving customers greater control over their home energy use.

In the past 18 months, GM Energy has reported sustained growth and expanded its industry partnerships. Since January, the business unit has seen revenue grow by 30 percent month over month and a fivefold increase in sales volume for charging and energy products. Approximately 70 percent of GM electric vehicles are now sold with a GM Energy product, and nearly 100,000 charging adapters have been sold to date.

GM Energy offers a range of products designed to support EV owners and improve energy resilience. Vehicle-to-home charging technology, also known as bi-directional charging, enables compatible GM vehicles to power equipped homes during outages. The GM Energy PowerBank, a stationary home battery storage solution, provides backup power and stores electricity from the grid or solar. Charging adapters developed by GM Energy allow vehicles to connect to different charger types, assisting in the transition toward a unified charging standard.

The company is also working with partners to expand public charging infrastructure. GM is investing in GM Energy-branded fast chargers with EVgo, Pilot, and ChargePoint, and participates in Ionna, a charging joint venture with other automakers. GM EV owners currently have access to more than 250,000 chargers across North America, and GM aims to deploy 35,000 fast charging stalls by 2030. GM-backed charging sites are ranked among the top three networks for customer experience metrics, and new charging locations are being designed with features such as restrooms, retail options, weather protection, and layouts accommodating trucks with trailers.

GM Energy is collaborating with utilities to integrate EVs into broader energy systems. Smart charging and bidirectional vehicle-to-home capabilities offer backup power and grid support, and future vehicle-to-grid technology could allow EVs to return power to the grid. GM is involved in programs including free overnight charging in Texas and vehicle-to-home pilot projects in California, which offer incentives and advanced grid integration.

The company is also participating in standard-setting initiatives and industry groups. GM joined the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and is involved in promoting the North American Charging Standard (NACS). GM Energy works closely with GM product teams to support the transition to NACS, and upcoming vehicles such as the 2026 Cadillac Optiq and 2027 Chevrolet Bolt will feature native NACS inlets.

GM Energy states that it remains focused on making electric mobility more accessible and reliable, with plans to continue expanding its energy solutions portfolio as the company moves toward an all-electric future.
