Now GM Energy and EVgo plan for 400 EV charging stalls at major metropolitan areas in seven states.
The flagship stations are cobranded by GM Energy, the automaker’s battery and charging division, and EVgo. The stations will be located in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York, and Texas at places with shopping, food, coffee shops, and other amenities.
Most stations will include up to 20 fast charging stalls with units supporting up to 350kW speeds, pull-through stations, security cameras, and gas station-style canopies with ample lighting. The first locations featuring EVgo’s latest easy-deploying and modular prefabricated charging stations will open in 2025.
GM said it has opened 1,000 fast charging stalls with EVgo as of August 2023 and expects to have 2,000 of the planned 2,850 DC fast charging stalls open by the end of the year. The GM / EVgo urban stations are separate from a broader strategy to build a coast-to-coast network with 2,000 DC fast charging stations at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers.
GM and EVgo have been working together since 2020 to grow their charging network, but GM is also dipping its tires into other charging network solutions. GM has its own Ultium 360 network that connects vehicle owners to third-party networks, and the company is contributing to Ionna, the huge joint venture that includes seven major automakers.
Update September 13th: A previous version of the article misstated that each flagship station will include 20 fast chargers; instead, most stations will have up to 20 stalls.
