The EV Charging War Just Escalated--And Tesla's Got Competition Across 25+ States
GM (NYSE:GM), Pilot, and EVgo just took another big step toward solving one of the biggest headaches for EV drivers: long-distance charging. The trio announced they've now installed more than 130 fast-charging stations across 25+ statesconnecting key highway corridors from Michigan to Georgia, Minneapolis to Milwaukee, and Dallas to Nashville. With Plug and Charge support, up to 350 kW charging speeds, and premium rest stops at Pilot and Flying J centers, this buildout is designed for real road tripping, not just around-town top-ups. The timing couldn't be better: spring and summer travel is around the corner, and EV adoption in the US shows no signs of slowing. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with GM. This is part of a much bigger plan: up to 2,000 fast-charging stalls at 500 locations. While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) continues to dominate the EV charging space, GM and its partners are quietly building out a nationwide backbone for everyone else. The feedback so far? Strong. Drivers are giving the network high marks on PlugShare, not just for speed, but for the creature comfortslounges, food options, 24/7 access, and clean facilities. That's an edge over many bare-bones charging stations out there. And it's coming just as GM reported a 50% spike in EV sales in Q4 2024, helping push total US EV sales to 1.3 million units for the year. For investors, this is more than just good PR. It's a real infrastructure playtargeting range anxiety, unlocking long-haul EV use, and opening new lanes for growth. GM is positioning itself as a serious contender in EVs, Pilot is future-proofing its core business, and EVgo is cementing its role as a go-to public charging partner. With momentum building and demand clearly there, this three-way bet is worth keeping on your radar. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio
