EVgo, General Motors celebrate 1,000th fast charger milestone

This installation marks progress in the shared goal of expanding public charging access and accelerating EV adoption in the U.S.

EVgo and General Motors have surpassed 1,000 fast charging stalls as part of their collaboration to expand charging infrastructure. First announced in 2020, this partnership will continue the development and installation of 3,250 DC fast charging stalls in major metro markets.

To date, both companies have opened fast charging stalls across nearly 230 locations in 39 markets covering 27 states, with the majority featuring high-power 350kW fast charging. The equipment has been installed across grocery stores, retail centers and city centers.

A ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the 1,000th stall was held in Woodridge, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, at the recently completed charging station at the Woodgrove Festival Shopping Mall.

“The availability of fast charging infrastructure is key to widespread EV adoption and consumer confidence in all-electric transportation. That is why we’re working with GM to build convenient and reliable fast charging stations across the country to serve current and future EV drivers,” said Cathy Zoi, CEO at EVgo.

EVgo builds and operates the infrastructure and tools needed to expedite the mass adoption of electric vehicles for individual drivers, rideshare and commercial fleets, and businesses. The firm’s owned and operated charging network includes around 900 fast charging locations, 60 metropolitan areas and 30 states.
