General Motors is joining forces with EVgo, one of the biggest electric vehicle charging operators in the United States, to build 400 ultra-fast DC chargers nationwide to support the growing number of battery-powered cars hitting U.S. roads.

To be clear, these are individual stalls, not charging stations. However, the two companies describe the new locations as “flagship destinations” which will feature 350-kilowatt DC chargers, ample lighting, canopies, pull-through spots and security cameras.

Most locations will feature up to 20 ultra-fast charging stalls, but some will have even more–good news for those crowded holiday road trips. GM and EVgo said the fancy new stations would be located near shopping areas offering dining, coffee shops and other amenities.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. It took them over a year and a half to get their chargers up and running in the Target parking lot down the street.

      That’s not total in the US, just how many this partnership is deploying.

      Not saying we don’t need to step the game up, but there are other investments doing this similtaneously as well, including federal money for additional EV charger deployments.
