Grand Rapids-based Meijer and EVgo in Los Angeles are expanding their charging network by adding as many as 480 new public fast charging stalls at Meijer properties across Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky.
To date, EVgo has opened 24 public fast charging stalls at six Meijer stores in Michigan and Ohio, and as part of the expanded partnership, the company expects to open up to 30 new stations at Meijer stores by the end of 2026, and 30 more stations 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,” says Dennis Kish, president of EVgo.
“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.”
Today, Meijer offers EV charging options at more than 35 percent of its store locations — and the expansion should play a role in providing greater access to public charging for Meijer customers.
