GM: The EV Charging Station Infrastructure Is Critical

Travis Hester, Chief EV Officer of GM, said, "We know how critical the charging infrastructure is to our customers and how it plays a hugely significant role EV adoption and experienced EV drivers know this is much more complicated than just a simple network quantity issue." GM, he said, is also planning to offer charging accessories and installation for home charging. Studies show that some 80% of all EV charging is done at home today and project that percentage will continue in the future, even as sales of EV increase in the future.

President Biden foresees a need for 500,000 EV Charging Stations and it committed to creating a government fleet of 600,000 EV vehicles. As part of the infrastructure package, Biden has included in that spending package some $174 billion for EV vehicles. Already, EV vehicle buyers can receive $7,500 in tax credits per car. Biden will sweeten that with more rebates this Fall to spur EV car sales in the future.

General Motors GM Enters Joint Venture For EV Batteries

Reinforcing its commitment to electric vehicles — cans and trucks — General Motors GM announced it was entering a joint venture with one of the world's largest battery makers, EV Chem, to build a $2.3 billion second battery plant for EV vehicles in Spring Hill, Tenn. The facility, scheduled to open in late 2023, will service GM's EV car assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tenn.  The move reinforces GM's commitment to EV. Solar Integrated Roofing Corp. SIRC is growing its EV Charging Station footprint.

The new joint venture battery plant from General Motors GM would make batteries for electric vehicles — Korean-based LG, part of a conglomerate, is one of the largest battery makers for electric vehicles. GM and LG are scheduled to open the 2.8 million sq. ft. plant in late 2023 and would supply batteries for cars from GM's Spring Hill assembly plant, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Rebates and tax credits will be increasingly used by the U.S. government to grow the EV vehicle population in the nation — which, in turn, will trigger the need for more EV Charging Port Stations. Currently, EV vehicles represent only 2% of all new cars sold in the U.S. — far lower than China and Europe. President Biden is proposing $6 trillion in its renewable energy infrastructure initiative.

SIRC Focuses On Green Energy Growth

To launch its dedicated EV Charging Station division, SIRC acquired Pacific Lighting Management or PLEMco, an operator of EV Charging Stations.
