EL SEGUNDO, Calif.,
Nov. 16, 2021 /CNW/ -- Premier
electric vehicle (EV) charging solution provider EV
Connect announced today that the Company is one of the
approved EV Charging solutions providers to support the deployment
of charging at General Motors' dealerships (NYSE: GM) across the
U.S and Canada. As an approved
platform to support GM's EV dealerships, EV Connect will offer its
innovative EV charging management solutions that include advanced
data analytics and 24/7 customer support. The first charging
stations under the new program have been installed at select GM
dealers, with more installations occurring this year.
Through EV Connect's open charging cloud platform, GM
dealerships will have the ability to optimize charging solutions at
their stores to meet individual dealership needs. EV Connect will
also provide comprehensive training for the software management
platform for all participating dealerships to ensure a simple,
reliable, and manageable charging experience.
"With thirty new EV models coming to market globally by 2025, we
are committed to bringing robust EV solutions by providing reliable
EV charging for drivers and service departments," said Hossein Hassani, director, EV Ecosystem at GM.
"To do this, our dealerships need to be equipped with reliable,
efficient, and simple-to-use EV charging infrastructure. We are
excited to work with EV Connect for core management software
as we continue to help expand access to charging at GM brand
dealerships and beyond."
By leveraging the Company's vast experience in guiding companies
of all sizes in managing charging networks and delivering a
seamless EV charging experience, EV Connect has established a
playbook for managing and growing the entire EV ecosystem. EV
Connect offers GM dealerships a powerful software management
platform that connects dealerships to their hardware, and also
enables dealers the ability to control access, set pricing and make
reservations as well as load management tools to control energy
costs.
"As GM actively prepares its dealerships for their forthcoming
EV models, we are excited to help bring flexibility and scalability
to EV charging for GM dealers today," said Jordan Ramer, Co-founder and Chief Executive
Officer of EV Connect. "Already in short order, we have more than
500 dealerships signed up for the program that are looking to
electrify. We are excited to see this number grow as we help GM
work towards an all-electric future."
EV Connect has also joined Ultium Charge 360, GM's holistic
approach to charging that integrates GM mobile apps, charging
networks, services and products to deliver the best charging
experience for GM EV owners. Drivers of Chevrolet, Cadillac,
and GMC EVs will now be able to find 5,000 EV Connect public
