GM wants to make EV road-tripping easier with fast chargers at 500 Pilot Flying J truck stops.
,"Eastbound and down, loaded up and EVing"? Wait, those aren't the lyrics. But they could be in the near future, as GM looks to make cross-country travel in an electric car easier. And who better to do that with than the country's largest truck stop chain? The American automotive giant is partnering with Pilot Company, the majority owner of Pilot Flying J, to build 2000 DC fast-chargers capable of delivering up to 350 kilowatts, at 500 Pilot and Flying J truck stops.
Pilot Company CEO Shameek Konar said that the joint initiative was designed"to help reduce range anxiety and significantly close the gap in long-distance EV charger demand."from the start of 2021 to the start of 2022, and that figure keeps growing. However, existing charging infrastructure heavily favors metropolitan areas, and a limited quantity of rural and highway-side fast-chargers hinders EV owners' ability to drive cross-country.
Meanwhile, Pilot Company is in the process of updating its Pilot and Flying J truck stops with expanded seating, nicer restrooms, free Wi-Fi, and more. Both these initiatives are good news for EV owners, as it means more charging locations and cushier amenities while you wait, even if the chargers' 350-kilowatt capacity will only keep you there for a few minutes.
