New Detroit Station Launches with CCS and NACS Compatibility
Electric vehicle charging operator EVgo recently opened a flagship charging station at the Meijer shopping center in Warren, Michigan, marking another addition to its high-specification charging network. The station features 12 high-powered chargers supporting both CCS and NACS (Tesla’s North American Charging Standard), with a maximum output of 350 kilowatts (kW) per stall. The site includes pull-through parking spaces and an overhead canopy, and is adjacent to shopping centers, restaurants, and other amenities, providing a convenient charging environment.
Dennis Kish, President of EVgo, stated that the electric vehicle driver experience is critical to consumer adoption, and the company is committed to integrating charging services seamlessly into drivers’ daily lives through high-specification stations. He emphasized that flagship stations prioritize not only charging speed but also comfort and convenience, with features such as canopies and pull-through stalls enhancing the overall experience.
Flagship Stations to Reach Over 100 by Year-End
As of now, EVgo has over 40 flagship charging stalls operational across the United States, with plans to expand the number to more than 100 by the end of 2026. Each flagship station can accommodate up to 20 charging stalls, all delivering up to 350 kW, significantly exceeding standard charging station capabilities. EVgo has indicated it will prioritize deploying these high-specification stations in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas.
