GM and EVgo now have more than 2,000 EV charging stations and counting
General Motors and EV charging company EVgo announced that they have taken their 2,000th EV charging store public, in Murrieta, California. With that, GM met a deadline it set in September to have the bulk of its 2,850 DC fast charging stations installed by the end of this year.
GM says the new station, located off Interstate 215 in Riverside County, offers five 350kW fast chargers for 10 EVs at a time. It doesn’t say whether these are solid CCS chargers or feature Tesla’s NACS ports, which emerged as the de facto standard a year and a half ago. We’ve asked GM for more information and will update if he responds.
EVgo president Dennis Kish said their partnership with GM has helped his company “charge the public in communities in more than 30 states across the US,” and that the company is working to move “its first flagship locations next year.”
GM said in September that the network, separate from its planned 2,000-strong network of DC fast chargers at Flying J and Pilot truck stops, will include 400 garage-style “flagship” charging points. Those will be built in metropolitan areas in states like Florida, California, Texas, and Michigan, the company said today. That’s all in addition to that another one An EV charger network consortium called Ionna in which GM participates along with car companies such as Hyundai, Kia, BMW, and Stellantis.
