Pilot reaches 300 DC fast charging locations with 50 site expansion across 13 US states
By Eve
Pilot Flying J has opened 50 new publicly accessible DC fast charging sites across 13 US states, bringing its total to 309 locations with 1,323 individual charging ports. The expansion includes two new travel centres in Chicopee, Massachusetts and Ponce de Leon, Florida, alongside curb to counter upgrades at existing sites. All locations offer 24/7 site monitoring, lighting and, at many sites, overhead canopies for weather protection.
Why it matters: The 50 site rollout demonstrates accelerated deployment velocity for highway corridor charging infrastructure, with Pilot leveraging existing travel centre real estate to scale DC fast charging at pace. For CPOs and equipment suppliers, the 1,323 port figure signals substantial hardware procurement volumes tied to a single operator's network expansion.
