The extended partnership builds upon EVgo and Meijer’s existing
relationship and will help increase access to public charging for
current and future EV drivers in the Midwest. To date, EVgo has
deployed 24 charging stalls at six Meijer locations across Michigan
and Ohio, including key metropolitan markets, such as Detroit,
Cincinnati and Columbus.
“EVgo has always operated with a customer-centric focus, and we
have a long history of building infrastructure in convenient
locations where the charging experience can be integrated into our
drivers’ daily lives. Grocery stores are a prime location for
drivers to plug in to fill their cars and carts at the same time,”
said Dennis Kish, Chief Operating Officer at EVgo. “By partnering
with Meijer, we can help EV drivers across the Midwest take
advantage of convenient public charging while they take care of
their shopping list.”
“Meijer cares about the communities we serve and enabling
electric vehicle charging in our communities aligns with our
commitment to reduce carbon emissions,” said Erik Petrovskis,
Director of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability at Meijer.
“We’re excited about this expanded partnership with EVgo to
continue to meet the needs of EV drivers in the Midwest.”
With more than 500 supercenters, Meijer Grocery, neighborhood
markets and Express locations across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin, Meijer is not only a leading
retailer in the Midwest, but a leader in sustainability, as well.
Meijer has offered EV charging at select stores and on its
corporate campus since 2010, and this broadened partnership with
EVgo is another step in the retailer’s path to achieve its
sustainability goals.
