With newest flagship now open in metropolitan Detroit, more than 100 new stalls are expected to be operational by the end of 2026
EVgo and GM Enhance the Charging Experience with New Flagship Sites
WARREN, Mich., Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (“EVgo”), one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks today announced the opening of its newest flagship charging station in metropolitan Detroit, further advancing the Company’s efforts to deploy high-power, customer-focused infrastructure in key markets across the country. With this new site, located in partnership with Midwest retailer, Meijer, more than 40 flagship charging stalls are now open nationwide, and EVgo expects to have over 100 flagship stalls online by the end of 2026. General Motors (GM) has contributed to this expansion to aid EV adoption across the U.S.
EVgo flagships are designed to elevate the EV driver customer experience, with high-power chargers, enhanced lighting and large stall count locations so that EV drivers can easily access charging. Flagship stations will average up to 20 stalls per site and offer convenient access to amenities including shopping, dining, grocery, and other services drivers can take advantage of while they charge.
“The EV-driver customer experience is paramount as American consumers choose whether to drive electric. Through our collaboration with GM, we are meeting EV drivers where they are and seamlessly integrating infrastructure options into drivers’ lives,” said Dennis Kish, President of EVgo.
This latest station, located directly across from GM’s Global Technical Center at the Meijer Warren store, features an overhead canopy with pull-through access to accommodate vehicles pulling trailers, a mixture of 12 CCS and NACS stalls, and 350 kW charging capable of delivering a full charge in as little as 15 minutes, depending on the vehicle. 1
“The flagship charging experience demonstrates what is possible when automakers, charging networks and retailers work together to deliver an elevated customer experience for today’s EV driver,” said William Hotchkiss, head of public charging at General Motors. “By expanding access to reliable, high-power charging in convenient locations, we’re making the choice to purchase or lease GM’s twelve different EV models easier.”
The newest EVgo station at the Meijer Warren further expands fast charging infrastructure options in Michigan where the number of EVs in operation increased sixfold from 2021 to 2025. 2
“This EVgo flagship charging destination provides Meijer customers with the ultimate charging experience while they shop,” said Erik Petrovskis, Director of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability at Meijer. “We’re proud to offer convenient access to fast charging for our customers.”
As part of the flagship program, EVgo will build flagship stations in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas. Separately, EVgo has built nearly 2,400 stalls across 32 states with GM’s support. EVgo, GM and Pilot Company also recently announced their collaborative fast charging network has surpassed 1,300 stalls at 300 locations across 40 states.
