EVgo and General Motors (GM) have surpassed a significant milestone, achieving over 2,000 public DC fast charging stalls across the United States. This accomplishment marks a doubling of their charging network footprint in just over a year, with installations strategically positioned in 45 metropolitan markets spanning 32 states. By prioritizing high-traffic locations such as grocery stores and retail centers, the partnership is addressing the critical need for convenient and accessible EV charging infrastructure.
The rapid pace of this expansion underscores the momentum of the EVgo-GM partnership. After reaching their 1,000th stall milestone in August 2023, the collaboration swiftly doubled that figure. Notably, their latest installation in Murrieta, California, features advanced 350kW fast chargers capable of simultaneously charging multiple electric vehicles, setting a new standard in public EV charging.
By concentrating on metropolitan charging solutions, the partnership tackles one of the most pressing barriers to EV adoption: accessibility for urban residents. Renters and apartment dwellers, who often lack home charging options, are a primary focus for these strategically placed charging stations. This effort ensures that EV drivers in urban areas can easily access reliable and fast charging options, further encouraging electric vehicle adoption.
Looking ahead, the partnership plans to deploy 400 flagship charging locations in major metropolitan markets across states such as Arizona, California, and Texas. This expansion is expected to bring the network to 2,850 charging stalls, reinforcing the companies' dedication to creating a nationwide public charging network that supports the rapid growth of EVs in the U.S.
