The first of the new charging stations will open next summer, the companies announced, first in the US and, later, in Canada.

“GM’s commitment to an all-electric future is focused not only on delivering EVs our customers love, but investing in charging and working across the industry to make it more accessible,” GM chief executive Mary Barra said in a statement. “The better experience people have, the faster EV adoption will grow.

Vehicles made by other manufacturers, not just these seven, will be able to charge at these stations, as well. The new joint venture will rely on funds from the automakers as well as using grants offered by the federal government to build new EV chargers. GM and Mercedes have previously announced that they plan to adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard while the others have not announced plans to make that switch.
