Pilot, General Motors and EVgo reach 300 fast-charging locations across US
By Eve
Travel centre operator Pilot, automaker General Motors and charging provider EVgo have opened more than 300 fast-charging sites with 1,300 stalls across 40 US states since launching the network in 2022. The rollout covers approximately 75% of the contiguous US, spanning over 2.2 million square miles, and marks the halfway point towards a target of up to 2,000 stalls at up to 500 locations nationwide.
Why it matters
The milestone demonstrates the pace at which a major multi-party charging deployment can scale across a continental market, offering procurement teams a benchmark for large-scale rollout timelines. The partnership model between a fuel retailer, OEM and CPO also highlights how site access and capital can combine to accelerate network density.

GM US EV sales fall 62% year on year to 25,473 units in Q3 2026 after federal tax credit ended
General Motors delivered 25,473 all electric vehicles in the United States in Q3 2026, down 62% from 66,501 units in Q3 2025, according to the company's latest quarterly report. The sharp decline follows the end of the $7,500 federal tax credit in Q3 2025, which had driven record sales in that period. The Q3 2026 figures provide a 12 month view of the market impact since the incentive was withdrawn.
Why it matters
The collapse in GM EV volumes after the tax credit lapsed signals weaker near term demand for public and workplace charging infrastructure tied to these models. Fleet and site host procurement decisions may need to account for lower utilisation if OEM sales remain subdued without federal purchase incentives.
Lime commits £886,857 to fund 586 e-bike parking bays across nine London boroughs
Lime has allocated £886,857 to nine London boroughs, including Greenwich, Lambeth and Hackney, to create or expand 586 shared e-bike parking bays in response to pavement crowding. The operator says it has now helped fund more than 3,400 parking bays across London as shared e-bikes account for one in 10 of the capital's 1 million daily cycling trips, according to Transport for London figures. Lime has also opened a fresh funding round for councils seeking to add more parking capacity.
Why it matters
The investment shows how operators are funding street infrastructure to support fleet growth, creating procurement opportunities for councils that need parking hardware and installation services. With shared e-bikes now representing 10% of London's daily cycling trips, the model may inform how other cities structure operator contributions to public realm works.
No commercial holsters exist for Type 2 male charging cable ends, installer confirms
An EV owner seeking a holster for the Type 2 male plug end that connects to a home charging point has been told no such product exists on the market, according to a 15 year EVSE installer responding to the query. The reader purchased a 15 metre Type 2 to Type 2 cable to bridge a 5 metre horizontal distance and 3 metre vertical step gap between their off street parking and charging point. All commercially available cable holsters are designed only for the female connector that plugs into vehicles.
Why it matters
The absence of holsters for supply side cable ends highlights a product gap in the residential charging accessories market, particularly for installations where cable management across uneven terrain or vertical distances is required. Installers and equipment suppliers may find demand for bespoke cable storage solutions in properties with non standard parking configurations.
