General Motors and EVgo are expanding their charging infrastructure with 400 new DC fast-charging stations, designed to address common EV driver concerns and enhance the charging experience.

These new "flagship" stations will feature essential amenities typically found at traditional gas stations:

• Bright lighting for safety and visibility
• Security cameras for user protection
• Pull-through charging stalls for vehicles with trailers
• Multiple fast-charging ports
• Weather protection
• Easy payment systems

The initiative aims to make EV charging more convenient and reliable for long-distance travel, directly addressing one of the main concerns among potential electric vehicle buyers. These stations will be strategically placed along major travel corridors and in metropolitan areas across the United States.

Each location will offer high-power DC fast charging capabilities, allowing compatible vehicles to add significant range in approximately 20-30 minutes. The new stations will be accessible to all EV brands, not just GM vehicles, supporting the broader adoption of electric vehicles nationwide.

The expansion builds upon GM and EVgo's existing partnership and demonstrates their commitment to developing a more robust charging infrastructure. This development represents a significant step toward making electric vehicle charging as convenient and reliable as traditional gas station visits.

EVgo will handle the construction and maintenance of these stations, while GM contributes to the planning and implementation process. The companies expect to complete the rollout of all 400 stations in the coming years, though specific completion dates vary by location.
