On August 1st, EVgo and General Motors celebrated a major milestone in our metropolitan charging infrastructure collaboration and opened the 1,000th DC fast charging stall. Together, the companies will deploy a total of 3,250 fast charging stalls as part of the ongoing effort to expand public charging access. A ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the 1,000th stall was held in Woodridge, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, at the recently completed charging station at the Woodgrove Festival Shopping Mall. This station features two high-power 350kW fast chargers capable of delivering 180 miles in 15 minutes, and two 100kW fast chargers capable of powering 90 miles in just 15 minutes.
