With their 2,000th stall now open, EVgo and GM are well on their
way toward completing a total of 2,850 DC fast charging stalls
nationwide, which will also include 400 public fast charging stalls
at flagship destinations across major metropolitan markets in
states such as Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New
York and Texas. The companies celebrated the opening of their
1,000th public fast charging stall in August 2023 in Woodbridge,
Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, and continued this momentum in 2024,
doubling their EV charging footprint in just over one year.
EVgo and GM’s 2,000th stall is part of a newly opened station
that features five 350kW fast chargers capable of serving up to 10
vehicles simultaneously. Conveniently located off Interstate 215,
this charging station offers drivers multiple nearby amenities
including retail shopping options, as well as coffee shops and
dining destinations in Murrieta, CA. This site was awarded funding
by the California Energy Commission under its FAST program.
“EVgo’s longstanding collaboration with GM has helped us bring
public charging to communities in more than 30 states across the
U.S., and as we work to deploy our first flagship destinations next
year, we are thrilled to celebrate today’s milestone of reaching
2,000 fast charging stalls built through this program,” said EVgo
President, Dennis Kish. “Working with trusted automakers like GM
has accelerated the buildout of our nationwide network, inspiring
range confidence for today’s EV drivers and the drivers we will
welcome to the EVgo network in the years to come.”
“Our collaboration with EVgo underscores our dedication to
providing EV drivers with the best possible experience by expanding
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.”
