Pilot Co., General Motors (GM) and EVgo Inc. together have a network of more than 130 electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging locations at travel centers in more than 25 states.
Charging infrastructure is now available along I-75 between Michigan and Georgia, and in regional corridors such as Minneapolis to Milwaukee, Detroit to Cleveland, San Antonio to Houston and Dallas to Nashville.
“As we strive to be the leading energy and experience provider people rely on to fuel their journeys, our travel centers are uniquely able to fill a need for EV owners who are looking to make the most of their miles,” said Shannon Sturgil, senior vice president of alternative fuels at Pilot. “The collaboration with General Motors and EVgo will continue to bring highway-based charging to more regions and routes where this infrastructure is needed.”
Pilot, GM and EVgo announced their collaboration in 2022, and are working to build a total of up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J locations.

Convenient access to fast-charging infrastructure along major interstates and highways is critical to boost range confidence, Pilot said. In 2024, EV sales reached 1.3 million in the United States, it said. GM brand EV sales spiked 50% in the fourth-quarter 2024, Pilot said, and overall EV sales were up 15% in fourth-quarter 2024 compared to fourth-quarter 2023. Pilot, GM and EVgo will continue working together to support the growth, they said.
“Spring break is all about hitting the road, making memories and enjoying the journey—not worrying about where to charge. By expanding fast-charging access along major travel routes, our work with Pilot Co. and EVgo will give EV drivers more confidence to take long trips with ease,” said Wade Sheffer, vice president of GM Energy, Detroit. “With more than 130 locations now open, which customers can easily find using the GM brand app, we’re helping ensure that charging is seamless and convenient—so drivers can focus on the adventure ahead.”
Drivers can find amenities such as lounges, free Wi-Fi, restaurants, grab-and-go food and beverage options and other convenience items at Pilot’s travel centers, it said. Its locations are also accessible 24/7 with modern restrooms.
Many of Pilot’s charging locations have overhead canopies and pull-through charging stalls, it said. Los Angeles-based EVgo’s high-power chargers offer up to 350 kilowatts, allowing drivers to recharge in as little as 15 minutes, the company said. Plug and Charge seamless charging is also available for drivers with compatible EV models.
Pilot Co., Knoxville, Tennessee, is one of the largest networks of travel centers in the country, with 655 stores as of Jan. 1. Pilot is a wholly owned subsidiary of Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway.
