    A three-year collaboration between truck stop owner Pilot Co., automaker General Motors (GM) and charging infrastructure provider EVgo has installed more than 130 electric vehicle fast-charging locations across the U.S. so far.

    The partnership, first announced in 2022, had announced a goal of creating up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls at 500 Pilot and Flying J fueling stops. The EV charging infrastructure will be available along I-75 between Michigan and Georgia and regional corridors such as Minneapolis to Milwaukee, Detroit to Cleveland, San Antonio to Houston and Dallas to Nashville.

    “As we strive to be the leading energy and experience provider people rely on to fuel their journeys, our travel centers are uniquely able to fill a need for EV owners who are looking to make the most of their miles,” said Shannon Sturgil, senior vice president of alternative fuels at Pilot, in a statement. “The collaboration with General Motors and EVgo will continue to bring highway-based charging to more regions and routes where this infrastructure is needed.”

    GM and EVgo have a separate charging infrastructure partnership which has built more than 1,000 direct-current, fast charging stalls in the U.S. 

    EV charging accessibility and charging time are two major concerns to motorists who might be considering a shift away from internal combustion engines. To address this, the Pilot-GM-EVgo project is installing fast-charging stalls of up to 350 kW, which can recharge EVs in about 15 minutes, along major travel routes. The Pilot travel centers also have amenities such as lounges, restrooms, free Wi-Fi, restaurants and convenience store food options.

    The charging is also offered through Plug and Charge, available throughout this network for drivers with compatible EV models.

    “By expanding fast-charging access along major travel routes, our work with Pilot Company and EVgo will give EV drivers more confidence to take long trips with ease,” said Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy. “With more than 130 locations now open, which customers can easily find using the GM brand app, we’re helping ensure that charging is seamless and convenient—so drivers can focus on the adventure ahead.”

    Last year, Americans bought a record 1.3 million electric vehicles, according to auto research firm Kelley Blue Book.
