GM is tripling the size of its EV fast charging network

General Motors is hoping to bolster consumer demand for electric vehicles by tripling the size of its fast charging network.

The automaker is adding more than 2,700 fast chargers over the next five years in conjunction with its EVgo partnership. Chargers will be installed in a variety of areas across cities and suburbs, including grocery stores, retailers and other "high-traffic" locations, with the aim of letting people charge their cars while running errands, the company said in a press release. It takes under a half hour for a car to fully charge.
