General Motors Co. in Detroit, Pilot Co., and EVgo Inc. have announced their collaborative network has reached 130-plus electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging locations in more than 25 states.
The companies state their charging network offers an elevated experience along popular corridors and major interstates, enabling long-distance EV travel. Still, many EVs take several hours to fully recharge.
In 2022, GM, Pilot, and EVgo announced they were working to build a total of up to 2,000 fast charging stalls at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J locations.
Overall, there are around 65,000 charging station in the U.S., with close to half located in five states — California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Washington.
According to a recent report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the 2030 National Charging Network study finds that to support a mid-adoption scenario of 33 million EVs on the road by 2030, the nation will need 28 million charging ports.
The core of the network will come from overnight charging via private residential chargers, complemented with reliable public fast charging stations.
GM, Pilot, and EVgo state their charging infrastructure network is available along I-75 between Michigan and Georgia, and regional corridors such as Minneapolis to Milwaukee, Detroit to Cleveland, San Antonio to Houston, and Dallas to Nashville.
“As we strive to be the leading energy and experience provider people rely on to fuel their journeys, our travel centers are uniquely able to fill a need for EV owners who are looking to make the most of their miles,” says Shannon Sturgil, senior vice president of alternative fuels at Pilot. “The collaboration with General Motors and EVgo will continue to bring highway-based charging to more regions and routes where this infrastructure is needed.”
Convenient access to fast charging infrastructure along major interstates and highways is critical to boost range confidence and serve customers who choose to drive electric as EV sales continue to rise across the country, the companies state.
In 2024, EV sales reached 1.3 million units, and the fourth quarter saw a record 15 percent growth compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
“As part of our ongoing collaboration with Pilot and GM, we’re delivering a customer-centric charging experience across our country’s most traveled corridors, building new infrastructure to connect rural, urban, and suburban communities,” says Dennis Kish, president of EVgo.
“Infrastructure availability is a key factor for drivers considering the choice to drive electric, and EVgo will continue to deploy high-power charging infrastructure nationwide to support current and future EV drivers.”
