Pilot Reaches 40-State EV Charging Network Milestone

Pilot Company, General Motors and EVgo Inc. recently announced that their collaborative electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging network has surpassed 300 locations, with 1,300 fast-charging stalls across 40 states. Pilot said the network now spans approximately 75% of the contiguous United States, covering more than 2.2 million square miles and connecting drivers to destinations across the country.

The companies are now more than halfway toward their goal of installing up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls across up to 500 locations nationwide.

“Pilot is making the most of all drivers’ miles by making long-distance EV travel more accessible and reliable than ever,” said Scott Hundley, director of light duty EV and infrastructure at Pilot. “Reaching more than 300 locations reflects our commitment to building a coast-to-coast charging network and delivering an exceptional travel experience that shows EV drivers they matter.”

“Crossing 300 Pilot and EVgo fast-charging locations is an important milestone because it gives EV drivers more of what they need most on the road: simple, convenient and dependable charging,” said William Hotchkiss, head of public charging at GM. “We’re helping build a charging ecosystem that gives customers more confidence to take longer trips and enjoy the journey.”

For some operators, EV charging is beginning to look less like a side business and more like a core part of the forecourt. According to a 2026 report by Paytronix, EV customers generate 340% higher in-store revenue per visit compared to traditional fuel customers. The report says they tend to have a strong preference for sustainable and organic food options and show a 40% higher rate of engagement with loyalty programs.
