There's already been plenty of discussion around the infrastructure limitations and concerns regarding the adoption of electric vehicles. Can the grid handle all that energy drain? Are there enough chargers along my road trip route to get me where I want to go? If I don't live in a city with lots of charging options, how will I recharge? Well, that last issue is being addressed directly by a new plan from General Motors and Flo to install up to 40,000 new chargers in rural communities (and other areas underserved by charging infrastructure) across the U.S. and Canada.

Called the Dealer Community Charging Program, General Motors has chosen Flo as its charger supplier. The program calls for GM dealerships to install up to 10 new Flo chargers in their community; nearly 90 percent of Americans live within 10 miles of a GM dealership, so the program should have a significant impact on the rural charging infrastructure gap. Nearly 1,000 GM dealerships have already enrolled in the program. Top Level Ev Charger

The program allows the chargers to be installed at various locations in the dealer's local community, be it a park, a city building, or a shopping center. Each dealer can install up to 10 chargers as part of the deal. The chargers themselves are rated as 19.2-kilowatt Level 2 chargers, which should be some of the quickest, most powerful Level 2 chargers you can find.

The chargers will be open to all compatible electric vehicles, not just limited to GM products. The first chargers have already been installed in smaller communities in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Residential Solar Framing System The program is starting with Chevy dealers, which makes sense considering the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV are some of the most affordable and best-selling EVs in the U.S., and GM's other brands don't yet have too many EVs on sale, save for the Cadillac Lyriq and Hummer EV. In the near future, GM plans to launch the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra EV pickups, as well as the Chevy Blazer and Equinox EV SUVs. The community charging program expands to Buick, GMC, and Cadillac dealers in January.
