Pilot, General Motors and EVgo Connect National Travel Corridors with EV Charging Infrastructure Installed in Over 25 States
With locations across more than 25 states, EV travelers can hit the highways this spring break and summer with convenient charging at over 130 travel centers
Pilot's growing electric vehicle fast-charging network offers an elevated experience for drivers looking to make the most of their miles and hit the road during the spring and summer travel season
As the busy spring and summer travel season approaches, EV drivers will be able to road trip confidently to many popular destinations, with charging infrastructure now available along I-75 between
“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. “The collaboration with General Motors and EVgo will continue to bring highway-based charging to more regions and routes where this infrastructure is needed.”
Pilot, GM and EVgo first announced their collaboration in 2022 and are working to build a total of up to 2,000 fast charging stalls at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J locations. EV drivers can count on Pilot’s travel centers’ premium amenities that aren’t typically found at other charging locations, such as lounges, free Wi-Fi, on-site restaurants, grab-and-go food and beverage options and grocery and convenience items. Every location is well-lit in centrally located areas that are accessible 24/7, with modernized restrooms and round-the-clock team members. Many of Pilot’s charging locations offer overhead canopies and pull-through charging stalls that are more convenient than back-in stalls and accommodate drivers who are towing trailers. With EVgo’s high-power chargers offering up to 350 kW, drivers can recharge in as little as 15 minutes.* Seamless charging is also offered through Plug and Charge, available throughout this network for drivers with compatible EV models.
Convenient access to fast charging infrastructure along major interstates and highways is critical to boost range confidence and serve customers who choose to drive electric as EV sales continue to rise across
“Spring break is all about hitting the road, making memories, and enjoying the journey — not worrying about where to charge. 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.”
The EV driver community has also shown its support of the network, providing positive feedback and consistently high scores on PlugShare, often citing the fast-charging capabilities and amenities at Pilot and Flying J charging locations.
“As part of our ongoing collaboration with Pilot Company and GM, we’re delivering a customer-centric charging experience across our country’s most traveled corridors, building new infrastructure to connect rural, urban and suburban communities,” said Dennis Kish, president of EVgo. “Infrastructure availability is a key factor for drivers considering the choice to drive electric, and EVgo will continue to deploy high-power charging infrastructure nationwide to support current and future EV drivers.”
