EVgo + GM open 350 kW flagship charging for EVs with trailers

EVgo and GM have opened a new fast-charging station near Detroit that's built with towing in mind. The site, at a Meijer grocery store in Warren, Michigan, has 12 stalls with both CCS and NACS plug types (the two main EV charging connectors) and a pull-through layout, so drivers towing a trailer can charge without unhitching first. The chargers put out up to 350 kilowatts, which EVgo says can mean a full charge in as little as 15 minutes, though actual speed depends on your vehicle, battery condition, temperature, and how depleted the battery already is.

This is part of a larger EVgo "flagship" charging network built with GM, which now has more than 40 of these larger, higher-power stations running nationwide. EVgo plans to have over 100 open by the end of 2026, with more sites planned in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas. These flagship stations tend to be bigger than typical charging stops, with up to 20 stalls, placed near stores and restaurants, with better lighting and layout than older charging sites.

For homeowners with an EV or one on the way, this mainly matters if you drive an EV that tows, or you travel through one of the states getting these stations. It doesn't change anything about home charging or rebates, but it's a sign that fast, higher-power public charging is expanding, with Michigan in particular seeing its EV numbers grow sharply since 2021.
