New EV Fast-Charging Station Coming To Pilot Travel Center In Alsip

ALSIP, IL–A new fast-charging EV station is coming to the Pilot location in Alsip at 12680 S. Kedzie Ave., providing local EV drivers with easy access to Pilot’s coast-to-coast charging network.

The new site features four 350 kW fast-charging stalls to get EV drivers charged up and back on their road. Pilot now has 108 EV charging stations at 24 locations across the state of Illinois. In collaboration with General Motors and EVgo, more than 300 EV charging locations are now operating nationwide, connecting EV drivers to a network along major corridors and eliminating range anxiety.

While charging, EV drivers can enjoy Pilot’s array of amenities, including free Wi-Fi, game room, clean restrooms and showers and 24/7 staff support, as well as Pilot’s mobile food ordering and fresh food offerings, including Pilot eats menu items, hundreds of beverages and grab-and-go snacks and favorites from Cinnabon.

"Creating exceptional experiences for our guests — whether in our stores, at the pumps, or at our charging stations — is at the heart of everything we do," said Scott Hundley in a news release, director of light duty EV and infrastructure at Pilot. "Giving EV drivers another option to meet their charging needs enables us to provide the same convenience, access and reliability that non-EV drivers have come to expect during their commutes and on road trips."

EV drivers can find charging locations and plan their route at Pilot EV-Charging or through the Pilot app, available for iOS and Android.
