Cadillac partners with and ChargePoint for ELR charging
17 April 2014
Cadillac announced a partnership with the ChargePoint electric vehicle-charging network in the world. The collaboration brings Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network.
All 2014 and 2015 ELRs will include a ChargePoint Driver Kit in the owner’s manual. With a ChargePoint card in every ELR, drivers can immediately sign up for free and get access to ChargePoint’s network. The ELR has a total range of 340 miles and an all-electric range of 37 miles.
ChargePoint’s real-time network information including the availability of charging locations throughout the nation is available through the ChargePoint mobile app, online and via the navigation systems in top-selling EVs.
Every 10 seconds, a driver connects to a ChargePoint station. Over 4.4 million charging sessions, ChargePoint drivers have saved more than 3.5 million gallons of gasoline and driven 89 million gas free miles.
GM could do like Tesla and Nissan and make some or all charges free to further promote the use and sale of electrified vehicles?
