GM and EVgo will install EV fast chargers at 500 Pilot and Flying J locations along U.S. highways, enabling coast-to-coast travel.
The deal, which is expected to benefit from grants made available by the U.S. government, is part of a broader $750 million effort by GM to build out an accessible fast-charging network as it gears up to launch a series of new electric vehicles over the next few years.
The chargers will be installed, operated and maintained by EVgo and will include high-power fast chargers capable of charging at up to 350 kilowatts as well as charging stalls designed to accommodate electric vehicles that are towing trailers. The chargers will be open to all electric vehicles that are compatible with DC fast charging.GM and EVgo previously announced a plan to install an additional 3,250 fast chargers in and around U.S. cities and suburbs by the end of 2025.
Studies have shown that drivers' concerns about access to chargers along highways is a limiting factor in EV adoption. "We are committed to an all-electric, zero-emissions future, and ensuring that the right charging infrastructure is in place is a key piece of the puzzle," said GM CEO Mary Barra in a statement."With travel centers across North America, Pilot Company is an ideal collaborator to reach a broad audience of EV drivers."
