GM, Shell to extend US EV charging

General Motors and Royal Dutch Shell are teaming up in the US to expand EV charging and household energy plans using renewable resources.

Shell-owned power company MP2 Energy and GM are starting their joint project in Texas, where GM electric cars can get free overnight charging. The plan is to provide comprehensive energy programs to GM’s customers and supply chain partners, including fixed-rate home energy plans backed by 100% renewable energy.

The partnership follows a flurry of low-carbon ventures between energy producers and manufacturers across the globe, Shell ordered by a Dutch court to slash its emissions 45% by 2030.

GM aims to be carbon neutral in its global products and operations by 2040.
