Pilot Travel Centers, GM, and EVgo, along with many public agencies and utilities, have worked together to increase the nation’s public fast charging infrastructure. They claim this creates a model for how public-private collaboration can make measurable progress in accelerating broader access to EV charging. The three companies have worked to provide current and future EV drivers “with a thoughtful, practical and accessible charging experience for long distance travel.”

Many locations throughout the network offer a variety of 24/7 amenities, products and services, including:
• Multiple fast charging stalls at each site, with chargers capable of delivering up to 350kW.
• Canopies to help protect drivers from the elements during charging.
• Pull-through charging stalls to accommodate EV towing.
• Centrally located chargers in well-lit areas, monitored around-the-clock by onsite staff.
• Access to restrooms, food and beverage options, and free Wi-Fi.
• Plug and Charge compatibility.

A so-called seamless digital user experience has also been built into this network. EV travelers will be able to find available charging locations via GM’s vehicle brand apps, Pilot’s myRewards Plus app, the EVgo app, PlugShare and other applications designed for EV drivers.* Beginning in spring 2024, GM and Pilot Travel Centers LLC will introduce exclusive benefits for GM drivers, including the ability to reserve a charger, and discounts on charging. All EV travelers can also save at Pilot and Flying J locations with regular deals on food, beverages and merchandise available in the myRewards Plus app.
