Cadillac recently formed partnership with ChargePoint, a leading electric vehicle-charging network in the world, to offer Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network.
The ELR electrified luxury coupe went on sale at the end of 2013.
Under the partnership, all 2014 and 2015 ELRs will be provided with ChargePoint Driver Kit in the owner’s manual, providing access to its 16,500 EV charging stations.
The partnership helps create awareness among car buyers that there is vast network of electric vehicle charging stations in the world. This will boost the growth of electric vehicles across different markets, Cadillac said.
Pasquale Romano, ChargePoint CEO, said, “With the ELR, Cadillac is helping drive the rapid growth of EVs by offering an innovative and premium vehicle. We are confident that as more EV options come out, more people will make the switch to electric.”
By providing a ChargePoint card with every ELR, drivers can immediately sign up for free and get access to ChargePoint’s network.
“We strive to provide Cadillac buyers with the highest level of customer care and ease of use for their vehicles, which is why we chose to partner with ChargePoint for the ELR,” said Uwe Ellinghaus, Global Cadillac chief marketing officer.
ChargePoint’s large network with advanced technology ensures the smoothest charging and greatest driving experience for ELR drivers,” Ellinghaus added.
