EVGo Inc., another charging point provider, often hosts a ribbon-cutting ceremony to drum up local interest in new stations, planting flags and handing out flyers and doughnuts, said Jonathan Levy, the company’s chief commercial officer.

EVGo has also been working with some of its partner property owners to install neon signs and with state governments to place signs advertising its locations on the side of the highway.

Companies are opening brightly lighted, canopied lots and converting gas stations into charging destinations, as well as investing in better signage. The upgrades and expansion will satisfy new demand and make it clear to non-EV drivers that charging stations would be available to them if they went electric.
