Pilot, General Motors and EVgo Inc. announced their collaborative EV fast-charging network has surpassed 300 locations with 1,300 fast-charging stalls across 40 states.
"Pilot is making the most of all drivers' miles by making long-distance EV travel more accessible and reliable than ever," said Scott Hundley, director of light duty EV and infrastructure at Pilot. "Reaching more than 300 locations reflects our commitment to building a coast-to-coast charging network and delivering an exceptional travel experience that shows EV drivers they matter."
Since launching the charging network in 2022, Pilot has consistently been rated by EV drivers as an industry-leading charging experience, earning a Plugshare score of 9.41 out of 10 as of July 2026. The exceptional amenities EV travelers can find at Pilot locations include:
- Well-lit, fully staffed locations open 24/7 with free Wi-Fi and clean restrooms
- On-site retail, restaurants and a variety of food, beverage and convenience options
- Overhead canopies at several locations to protect drivers from the weather
- Pull-through stalls at several locations for drivers towing a trailer
- Windshield washing supplies
"Crossing 300 Pilot and EVgo fast-charging locations is an important milestone because it gives EV drivers more of what they need most on the road: simple, convenient and dependable charging," said William Hotchkiss, head of public charging at GM. "We're helping build a charging ecosystem that gives customers more confidence to take longer trips and enjoy the journey."
By expanding access to reliable fast charging, Pilot is making it easier for EV drivers to experience America's diverse landscapes—from national parks and mountain ranges to coastal cities and cultural landmarks—and have greater confidence in traveling wherever the road takes them. With chargers conveniently located along major interstate corridors, EV drivers can now enjoy iconic road trip routes such as:
- San Antonio, Texas, to Jacksonville, Florida: Journey across the heart of the South, starting in San Antonio, passing through New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast before reaching Jacksonville
- Nashville, Tennessee, to Charleston, South Carolina : Travel from Music City through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park before arriving at the coast in Charleston
- Detroit, Michigan, to Tampa, Florida : Head south from Detroit through Cincinnati , Lexington, Knoxville and Atlanta before reaching Florida's Gulf Coast
- White Sands National Park to Saguaro National Park: From White Sands near Las Cruces, New Mexico, to Saguaro and Tucson, Arizona, explore the desert landscapes of the Southwest
"Drivers are choosing EVs for their summer travel plans, and access to convenient and reliable public charging empowers that choice," said Dennis Kish, President of EVgo. "EVgo is committed to delivering a seamless charging experience, helping drivers travel with confidence and enjoy the freedom of the open road."
The companies are now more than halfway toward their goal of installing up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls across up to 500 locations nationwide, continuing to build critical infrastructure that helps shape the future of energy.
