- General Motors and EVgo have built their 2,000th co-branded EV fast chargers.
- It’s part of the two companies’ plan to bring 2,850 stalls online in the United States.
General Motors and charging network operator EVgo have installed their 2,000th co-branded electric vehicle fast charging stall in the United States.
The milestone-setting dispenser is part of a new charging station that went online recently in Murrieta, California. It’s located off Interstate 215 in Riverside County and has a total of five 350-kilowatt dispensers that can recharge up to 10 EVs at the same time. If just one EV is connected to a stall, it can benefit from its full power potential, but if two EVs share a dispenser, the power will be split between them.
Last year, the two companies announced that their 1,000th DC fast-charging stall went online. It took them a year and four months to double that figure.
GM and EVgo’s collaboration resulted in public DC fast charging stations for electric vehicles in over 390 locations in 45 metropolitan areas across 32 states. Their co-branded stalls can be found near grocery stores, retail complexes and city centers.
That said, there’s still work to be done. The two entities said they’re on their way toward building a total of 2,850 EV fast charging stalls nationwide, including 400 fast chargers at flagship locations across metropolitan markets including in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York and Texas. Most of these will have up to 20 stalls, generous lighting, canopies and amenities.
“Our collaboration with EVgo underscores our dedication to providing EV drivers with the best possible experience by expanding reliable fast charging infrastructure across the country,” said Wade Sheffer, Vice President, GM Energy. “We look forward to continuing to offer premium charging experiences for years to come.”
In total, EVgo has over 1,000 EV fast charging stations and over 3,600 ports across the country, according to the Department of Energy, making it one of the largest public fast charging operators in the United States.
