Innovative design will future-proof the EVgo network as vehicle battery capabilities advance while focusing on features to enhance the customer experience
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVgo Inc. (Nasdaq: EVGO) (“EVgo” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks for electric vehicles (EVs), shared a preview of its next-generation charging system, capable of delivering up to 750kW of charging power.
Design, development, and testing for the Company’s new charger are being performed at EVgo’s Innovation Lab in El Segundo, California, with co-development support from longtime partner Delta Electronics. With this architecture, EVgo is one of the only American charging networks to design its own chargers.
“EVgo has served EV drivers for over 15 years, and our investment in our 750kW next-generation architecture future-proofs our network for current and future vehicles,” said Badar Khan, CEO of EVgo. “Charge rates seen on the EVgo network are increasing, up nearly
At the heart of EVgo’s design is a focus on the EV driver experience, leveraging learnings from working with 1.8 million customer accounts and analyzing data from over 10 million sessions per year. Features include better cable maneuverability, a touchless payment interface, and advanced hardware and firmware to bolster reliability and streamline the charging experience. Each station will feature NACS connectors as part of EVgo’s overall strategy to double its addressable market by welcoming more NACS drivers to its customer base. This system is expected to charge the fastest charging vehicles in the U.S. market in around 10 minutes.1
The new chargers will use dynamic power sharing, which is increasingly important as battery technology advances and charge rate variability widens across available vehicle models for consumers. This approach ensures each dispenser delivers the exact output each vehicle needs throughout a charging session, automatically adjusting energy distribution in real time. Drivers won’t have to worry about finding a certain power-level stall because every stall is the right one for their vehicle. Dynamic power sharing also supports grid stability through flexible energy allocation, routing power where it is needed most while smoothing demand spikes.
The final charger design is expected to be unveiled in 2027 as EVgo begins to deploy the new architecture.
