Station launch marks EVgo’s continued charging
infrastructure expansion with retail site host partners
EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO), the nation’s largest public fast
charging network for electric vehicles (EVs) and only public
network powered by 100% renewable electricity, and Meijer, a
Midwestern retailer, today announced the opening of the first EVgo
public fast charging station at Meijer stores. EVgo’s latest
stations with Meijer are part of EVgo and the retailer's previously
announced partnership, and are capable of 100 kW to 350 kW fast
charging. EVgo and Meijer's first sites under the partnership are
in key Midwestern cities across Michigan and Ohio. The stations
will add to the over 800 fast charging locations in EVgo’s network
and build on its growing base of over 310,000 customer accounts –
reflecting the company’s continued leadership in building out
charging infrastructure and its mutually rewarding collaborations
with retail site host partners.

“Our partnership with EVgo provides another way for us to serve
our community and further our commitment to sustainability,” said
Erik Petrovskis, Meijer Director of Environmental Compliance and
Sustainability. “The EV charging stations provide a convenience to
our customers and community, and we are excited to be a part of the
transition to electric vehicles.”
“EVgo has long been committed to working with first class
partners to provide our customers with a first class charging
experience,” said Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo. “Between our shared
dedication to protecting the planet and putting customers first,
EVgo and Meijer are a natural fit. We look forward to building on
our recent efforts around the Midwest to keep adding more EVgo
stations to Meijer supercenter locations.”
EVgo and Meijer have both demonstrated leadership and commitment
to sustainability for years. For over a decade, EVgo has provided
access to convenient charging locations for hundreds of thousands
of EV drivers, while Meijer has offered EV charging solutions for
its customers at many supercenters for over a decade. The
implementation of the new public fast charging stations comes on
the heels of recent traction around EV adoption in the Midwestern
region, as the governors of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin recently established the Regional Electric Vehicle
Midwest Coalition -- or “REV Midwest” -- in an effort to create
jobs, lower carbon emissions and promote greater public health and
safety. The retailer’s relationship with EVgo builds upon its
existing sustainability initiatives, as well as those recently
announced by REV Midwest, to increase access to EV charging
infrastructure across its more than 250 supercenters within
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin.
