GM Launches Energy Pass for Unified EV Charging

GM has introduced Energy Pass, a unified charging interface integrated into the MyChevrolet, MyCadillac, and MyGMC apps.

Energy Pass simplifies public EV charging access. The new feature eliminates the need for multiple apps, accounts, and payment methods that have complicated public charging. Drivers enroll once to find stations, start and stop sessions, view live status, and access charging history and receipts in one place.

At launch, Energy Pass connects to Tesla Superchargers, IONNA chargers, and Electrify America chargers. ChargePoint and EVgo will join soon. These networks represent nearly 70% of all DC fast chargers in the United States, plus Level 2 options.

Plug&Charge capability rolls out across networks. After one-time enrollment, compatible stations enable drivers to plug in and charge without further interaction as payment occurs automatically. This is already live at IONNA Rechargeries and EVgo stations. GM plans to extend it to ChargePoint this summer.

Vehicles with native NACS ports will gain Plug&Charge at Tesla Superchargers via an over-the-air update later this year. The 2026 Cadillac OPTIQ and 2027 Chevrolet Bolt already include native NACS ports. Every new 2027 model year EV from Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac is expected to launch with them.

Announcement aligns with GM's NACS transition. The Energy Pass launch coincides with GM's acceleration toward the North American Charging Standard. This mirrors the industry shift since Tesla opened its network and established NACS as the de facto standard. The move addresses friction for drivers of GM's expanding EV lineup, including the Chevy Equinox EV, Chevy Blazer EV, Chevy Bolt, Cadillac models, and electric GMC trucks and SUVs.

Energy Pass validates broader industry trends. By integrating Tesla Supercharger access into GM's own apps and adopting native NACS ports, the automaker acknowledges the value of a single reliable network combined with software-defined simplicity. The announcement was made at a GM event in San Francisco on June 9.
