General Motors, Shell Offer Renewable Energy Solutions to EV Owners, Suppliers

General Motors and Shell are working together to offer renewable energy solutions to GM’s customers in Texas. The program includes current offerings that can help expand access to renewable energy for GM’s customers and suppliers. Coming this summer, owners of electric vehicles from GM brands will have the opportunity to select home energy plans that include the option for free overnight hours of EV charging.

General Motors and Shell will be providing energy solution programs to GM’s customers and supply chain partners, including fixed-rate home energy plans backed by 100% renewable energy resources, the companies announced.

This program is currently available for eligible owners of Chevrolet, Buck, GMC and Cadillac vehicles in Texas. This summer, owners of electric vehicles from GM brands will get the chance to choose home energy plans that include free overnight hours of EV charging between midnight and 5 a.m.

The companies will also start giving GM suppliers access to renewable energy products to assist in setting and achieving their individual emissions-reduction goals. Employees of participating GM suppliers will be eligible for the home energy plans.

“At GM, we’re committed to helping bring everybody in on a more sustainable future,” said chief sustainability officer Kristen Siemen.
