General Motors, EVgo and Pilot Travel Centers open first EV charging network

General Motors (GM), EVgo (EVGO) and Pilot Travel Centers announced the opening of the first 17 locations of their previously announced national EV fast charging network. Now available in 13 states, the network provides EV travelers access to the same amenities offered at existing Pilot and Flying J travel center locations. Pilot Travel Centers, GM, and EVgo, along with multiple public agencies and utilities, have worked together to grow the nation’s public fast charging infrastructure. Beginning in spring 2024, GM and Pilot Travel Centers LLC will introduce exclusive benefits for GM drivers, including the ability to reserve a charger, and discounts on charging. All EV travelers can also save at Pilot and Flying J locations with regular deals on food, beverages and merchandise available in the myRewards Plus app. By the end of 2023, it is expected that at least 25 Pilot and Flying J travel centers will feature EV fast charging, with approximately 200 locations targeted by the end of 2024. In total, the network will include up to 2,000 high-power fast charging stalls at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers across the U.S.
