Pilot Travel Centers Open New EV Charging Locations

Pilot Travel Centers LLC, General Motors, and EVgo Inc. announced the first 17 locations of their national electric vehicle fast charging network are open for business. 

The network provides EV drivers with the same amenities offered at Pilot and Flying J travel center locations. 

The companies, in partnership with public agencies and utilities, have been working to establish the country’s public fast charging EV infrastructure to meet the needs of EV drivers when they’re on the road. 

Now available in 13 states, many locations offer 24/7 services, including multiple fast charging stalls with chargers capable of delivering up to 350kW, canopies, pull-through charging stalls to accommodate EV towing, centrally located chargers in well-lit areas monitored by onsite staff, access to restrooms, food and beverage options, free Wi-Fi, and more. 

“EV drivers are eager for a better charging experience and to have more charging locations along America’s most traveled corridors. These new charging locations and the many more to come, will be critical for improving range confidence,” said Adam Wright, Pilot Travel Centers LLC chief executive officer, in a statement. “As interest in EVs continues to grow, we believe our network can be a catalyst to getting more EV drivers on the road.”

At least 25 Pilot and Flying J travel centers are expected to offer EV fast charging by the end of 2023, followed by approximately 200 additional locations by the end of 2024. The network plans to include up to 2,000 high-power fast charging stalls at up to 500 locations across the U.S.
