EVgo to expand charging partnerhsip with Meijer
As part of this expanded relationship, EVgo plans to deploy up to 480 new public fast-charging stalls at Meijer properties across Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. The plans are further supported by a recent loan guarantee that EVgo received from the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office worth up to $1.05 billion.
So far, EVgo has opened 24 public fast-charging stalls at six Meijer stores in Michigan and Ohio, and as part of the expanded partnership, and has announced plans to open 30 more charging stations at Meijer store locations by the end of 2026, as well as another 30 by the end of 2027.
“Fast charging should be an effortless part of drivers’ daily routines, and nothing is more routine than a trip to the grocery store,” said EVgo President, Dennis Kish. “EV adoption is growing in the Midwest, and by adding hundreds of new fast charging stalls with the region’s leading supercenter, EVgo’s partnership with Meijer shows our companies’ shared commitment to delivering an elevated charging experience for EV drivers living or traveling throughout the Midwest.”
“Access to electric vehicle charging is an essential pillar of our broader sustainability goals and we’re proud to partner with EVgo as part of our ongoing environmental stewardship efforts,” said Erik Petrovskis, Director of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability at Meijer.
Just recently, EVgo also announced a charging cooperation with Nissan in the USA, as well as expanding another charging partnership with General Motors earlier in the year.
