General Motors (GM) and fast-charging provider EVgo have reached a significant milestone in their partnership, inaugurating their 2,000th public fast-charging station in the U.S. The stations, located across 390 sites in 45 major cities spanning 32 states, serve as crucial infrastructure for electric vehicle (EV) drivers, particularly those unable to charge at home or work. These charging stations are strategically placed in high-traffic areas such as grocery stores, retail centers, and city hubs.
The 2,000th charging station, located in Murrieta near Los Angeles, features five 350 kW fast chargers, capable of simultaneously charging up to 10 vehicles. Situated along the Interstate 215, this station represents a key part of the partners’ goal to install a total of 2,850 DC fast-charging stations nationwide. Included in this plan are 400 public stations in flagship charging parks located in major metropolitan areas across states like Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York, and Texas.
“EVgoās 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 todayās milestone of reaching 2,000 fast charging stalls built through this program,” said EVgo President Dennis Kish. “Working with trusted automakers like GM has accelerated the buildout of our nationwide network, inspiring range confidence for todayās EV drivers and the drivers we will welcome to the EVgo network in the years to come.”
Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, added, “Our collaboration with EVgo underscores our dedication to providing EV drivers with the best possible experience by expanding fast charging infrastructure across the country. We look forward to continuing to offer premium charging experiences for years to come.”
The partnership, which began in 2020, initially focused on expanding fast-charging access in metropolitan areas and was later bolstered by the inclusion of a charging station operator. The two companies are poised to further develop a robust EV charging network to support the growing shift toward electric mobility.
