The partnership between EVgo and GM aims to create high-powered, customer-centric charging hubs across key states such as Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New York, and Texas. These flagship locations will cater to the growing number of EV drivers, offering multiple charging stalls and proximity to convenient amenities.
Security and comfort are prioritized, with stations featuring lighting, canopies, and pull-through access to ensure a seamless experience. The prefabrication approach will speed up construction timelines and enable future expansions with ease.
