EV charging network EVgo is expanding its longstanding partnership with Meijer, a Midwest grocery retailer, to bring more public EV charging infrastructure to Meijer store locations throughout its six-state footprint. EVgo plans to deploy up to 480 new DC fast charging stalls at Meijer properties across Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.
Meijer currently offers EV charging options at more than 35% of its store locations. To date, EVgo has opened 24 public fast charging stalls at six Meijer stores in Michigan and Ohio. 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 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,” said EVgo President Dennis Kish. “EV adoption is growing in the Midwest, and adding hundreds of new fast charging stalls with the region’s leading supercenter shows our companies’ shared commitment to delivering an elevated charging experience for EV drivers.”
“Access to EV charging is an essential pillar of our broader sustainability goals, and we’re proud to partner with EVgo as part of our ongoing environmental stewardship efforts,” said Erik Petrovskis, Director of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability at Meijer.
