The announcement comes as EV drivers continue to navigate a fragmented charging ecosystem that often requires multiple apps, accounts, and payment methods. By consolidating access to major networks, GM is seeking to reduce the number of steps required to recharge an electric vehicle on the road.
Energy Pass is available through the MyChevrolet, MyCadillac, and MyGMC smartphone applications. The feature allows drivers to manage charging sessions, monitor charging activity, and access participating charging providers from a unified interface.
One Account for Several Major Charging Networks
Energy Pass gives GM EV owners access to some of the largest charging networks in the United States without requiring separate applications or accounts for each provider.
At launch, the service includes access to Tesla Supercharger, Ionna, and Electrify America charging stations. GM said that ChargePoint and EVgo will be added in the near future.
According to General Motors, these networks collectively account for nearly 70% of all DC fast chargers in the United States, while also including numerous Level 2 charging locations.
Through the MyChevrolet, MyCadillac, and MyGMC apps, drivers can start and stop charging sessions, view live charging status updates, access charging history, review receipts, and take advantage of exclusive discounts offered by certain networks.
One example already in place involves Ionna, which recently began offering a 10% charging discount to GM EV drivers using the applications associated with Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC.
Plug & Charge Expands Across Additional Networks
Beyond centralizing access to charging providers, Energy Pass also supports Plug & Charge technology. Once drivers configure a payment method within their account, they can initiate charging simply by connecting their vehicle to a compatible charger, without interacting with the mobile app or the charger’s display.
Plug & Charge is currently available at Ionna Rechargeries and EVgo stations. GM stated that the same functionality will be extended to ChargePoint locations beginning this summer.
The automaker also announced that vehicles equipped with a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port will be able to use Plug & Charge at Tesla Supercharger stations. GM added that an over-the-air software update scheduled for later this year will activate Plug & Charge capability on Tesla’s Supercharger network for NACS-equipped vehicles.
GM Transitions to NACS Across Its Future EV Lineup
The charging initiative is accompanied by a broader hardware transition across GM’s electric vehicle range.
According to the company, all 2027 model-year electric vehicles from Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac will replace the CCS1 charging connector with the North American Charging Standard inlet.
The transition has already begun. The 2026 Cadillac Optiq and the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt are equipped with a factory-installed NACS charging port.
GM said that all forthcoming 2027 electric vehicles from Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac will adopt the NACS connector between now and December.
The changes are intended to simplify charging access for drivers by combining broader network availability, a single account system, and expanded Plug & Charge support across participating charging providers.
