In a recent press release, General Motors announced that it is working with a large chain of truck stops to build a charging network with 2,000 charging stalls at up to 500 locations. In this article, I want to explore what GM is doing and why this is a great approach.
The stations themselves are also going to be pretty decent. Their maximum output will be 350 kW, installed under canopies to make it a lot easier to avoid the rain and the sun during a charging station. When possible, the stations will be arranged in a “pull through” configuration so that EVs pulling trailers can effectively use the stations without having to unhitch. They won’t be built for electric eighteen wheelers, or “big rig” trucks, but they’ll be very pickup truck friendly.
This won’t make any new corridors open, but it will beef up redundancy and capacity along them. Interstate 10 in the south and southwest, Interstate 20 from Texas to Georgia, Interstate 40 from California to North Carolina, and Interstates 70 and 80 further north are all getting love here. The only reason Interstates 50 and 60 aren’t getting any stations is that there is no I-50 or I-60 .
The biggest thing for EVgo is that this puts the company well on its way to achieving its goal of 3,250 charging stalls by 2025. It also helps get a lot more people to sign up for an EVgo account, giving them a better chance of market share in the mature EV charging market that’s coming in 10-20 years.When EV charging stations first started popping up that weren’t Tesla Superchargers, they mostly came to dealers first.
