General Motors and EVgo will add 400 EV fast chargers at gas-station-like “flagship” sites in major U.S. metropolitan areas beginning in 2025.
These sites will feature 350-kw DC fast chargers in a pull-through configuration under canopies—much like gas pumps—and they’ll get “ample” lighting and security cameras, GM and EVgo confirmed Thursday with the announcement.
Co-branded for both EVgo and GM Energy, most sites are expected to have up to 20 chargers, with some offering more. GM and EVgo are looking at locations in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York, and Texas..
The new sites will utilize a prefabricated construction process developed by EVgo where possible to expedite construction and offer flexibility for possible future expansion, the companies said, confirming that the first site is scheduled to open next year.
GM and EVgo began collaborating on a coast-to-coast charging network in 2022, with EVgo-supplied chargers installed at Pilot and Flying J travel centers. The first of those locations opened in late 2023, with many sporting the canopies and pull-through stalls GM and EVgo now plan to apply to the urban “flagship” sites, but with more of a focus on locations along highway corridors.
The two companies plan to install 2,850 charging stalls, with most up and running by the end of the year. The effort surpassed 1,000 charging stalls in August 2023, and is expected to reach 2,000 by year’s end. Some funding will be reallocated toward the new metropolitan charging sites to ensure they offer the planned “premium” experience, GM and EVgo noted.
