EVgo

EVgo has opened a flagship charging hub in Warren, Michigan, featuring 12 high-power chargers (up to 350 kW) with both CCS and NACS plugs, located in a Meijer car park directly across from GM's Global Technical Center. The site offers canopy cover, pull-through access for towing vehicles, and charging in 15 minutes or less depending on model. EVgo plans to build additional flagship stations across California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan and Texas, each with enhanced lighting and up to 20 stalls to reduce wait times.

Why it matters: The rollout signals a shift toward larger, amenity-adjacent hubs that address dwell time and queue anxiety, key factors in CPO site selection and utilisation rates. Co-location with retail anchors and OEM facilities also points to strategic land partnerships that procurement teams can replicate when siting high-throughput depots.

EVgo and General Motors have launched a new flagship EV charging station in Detroit, United States, marking an expansion of their charging infrastructure partnership. The companies expect to deploy over 100 charging stalls at the site by the end of 2026.

Why it matters: This flagship project signals significant procurement volume for charging hardware and installation services over the next two years. The Detroit location and GM partnership may establish a template for future large scale urban charging hubs in the US market.

EVgo, which operates around 1,200 fast charging stations in 47 states, will roll out Tesla V4 Superchargers at sites in major cities across the United States, with deployments beginning later in 2026. The stations will be EVgo owned and branded but operated and maintained by Tesla, featuring charging speeds up to 500 kW, Magic Dock technology for both CCS and NACS vehicles, and longer cables for non-Tesla EVs. The partnership aims to expand fast charging access and bring more NACS drivers onto the EVgo network.

Why it matters: The deal marks a significant infrastructure model where a major CPO outsources operations to Tesla while retaining ownership, potentially reshaping procurement strategies for networks seeking premium reliability and NACS compatibility. For contractors and suppliers, the rollout signals new site development opportunities under a hybrid ownership structure in high demand urban markets.

Public charging operator EVgo will deploy more than 500 DC fast charging stalls at 90 shopping centres managed by Brixmor Property Group, with each site receiving up to 12 high power chargers. The rollout, announced in August 2026, will cover locations in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas, bringing EVgo chargers to around 25% of Brixmor's portfolio. EVgo currently operates over 1,200 DC fast charging stations across 47 states.

Why it matters: The deal demonstrates how retail landlords are embedding charging infrastructure at scale to attract EV drivers, creating a pipeline of multi stall sites for charge point operators. For procurement teams, the focus on high power units and clusters of up to 12 stalls per location signals a shift toward destination charging hubs that can handle higher utilisation.

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.
