General Motors and electric vehicle charging company EVgo announced who have installed their 2,000th public electric vehicle charging station in Murrieta, California. With that, GM met the deadline it set in September to have most of its planned 2,850 DC fast charging stations installed by the end of this year.
GM says the new station, which is near Interstate 215 in Riverside County, features five 350 kW fast chargers for up to 10 electric vehicles simultaneously. It doesn't mention whether these are strictly CCS chargers or whether they include Tesla's NACS ports, which have become the de facto standard over the last year and a half. We have asked GM for more information and will update if they respond.
EVgo President Dennis Kish said his relationship with GM has helped his company “bring public charging to communities in more than 30 U.S. states.” and that the company is working to implement its “first flagship destinations next year.”
GM said in September that this network, which is separate from another planned network of 2,000 powerful DC fast chargers at Flying J and Pilot truck stops, will include 400 “flagship” gas station-style charging locations. They will be built in major metropolitan areas in states such as Florida, California, Texas and Michigan, the company said today. That's all besides other Electric vehicle charging network consortium called Ionna in which GM participates along with car companies such as Hyundai, Kia, BMW and Stellantis.
