SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Dec. 4, 2024 – EVgo Inc., a leading provider of public fast charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs), and General Motors (GM) have reached a significant milestone in their ongoing collaboration to expand EV charging access across the United States. The companies have now surpassed 2,000 public fast charging stalls in operation, doubling their footprint in just over a year.
Expanding Access to Convenient Charging
LOS ANGELES –– EVgo Inc., one of the nation’s largest providers of public fast charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and General Motors have surpassed 2,000 public fast charging stalls opened through their ongoing metropolitan charging collaboration. To date, EVgo and GM have built fast charging stalls in more than 390 locations in 45 metropolitan markets across 32 states as part of a longstanding collaboration to broaden access to public charging in amenity-rich locations, such as grocery stores, retail centers, and city centers, while also serving customers who are unable to charge at home or work, such as renters and those living in multifamily dwellings.
This achievement highlights the companies' commitment to providing convenient and reliable charging solutions for EV drivers nationwide. Their charging stations are strategically located in amenity-rich areas, such as grocery stores, retail centers, and city centers, making it easier for drivers to charge their vehicles while running errands or enjoying leisure activities.
Accelerating Towards a Nationwide Charging Network
With 2,000 stalls already operational, EVgo and GM are well on their way to achieving their goal of deploying 2,850 DC fast charging stalls across the country. This includes plans for 400 public fast charging stalls at flagship destinations in major metropolitan markets.
“EVgo’s longstanding collaboration with GM has helped us bring public charging to communities in more than 30 states across the U.S., and as we work to deploy our first flagship destinations next year, we are thrilled to celebrate today’s milestone of reaching 2,000 fast charging stalls built through this program,” said EVgo President Dennis Kish.
Enhancing the EV Driving Experience
The collaboration between EVgo and GM focuses on providing a premium charging experience for EV drivers. Their fast charging stations offer high-power charging capabilities, allowing drivers to quickly recharge their vehicles and get back on the road.
