(Reuters) - General Motors Co and travel operator Pilot said Thursday they will develop a national network of 2,000 electric vehicle charging stalls at travel centers to make it easier to recharge near highways.

The companies said the stations will be co-branded "Pilot Flying J" and "Ultium Charge 360", powered by EVgo and open to all EV brands at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers. The companies did not disclose the financial investment.
