EVgo plans to install “EVgo Superchargers” across the country to make fast charging even more accessible and widen NACS charging options
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (“EVgo” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s largest providers of public fast charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs), announced plans to add “EVgo Superchargers” to its metropolitan network. The V4 Superchargers are capable of up to 500kW / 1000 Volts, bringing more fast charging choices to EV drivers.
EVgo Superchargers will appear on the in-car Tesla navigation, and Tesla drivers can be automatically routed to these sites using the Tesla Trip Planner. Deployments will start this fall, and the first EVgo Supercharger sites are expected to be operational in the second half of 2026.
Consumer demand on the EVgo network has increased over
“EVgo is making it easier for EV drivers to find convenient fast charging, and we’re bringing more infrastructure options to communities across America to serve the growing demand for public charging,” said Badar Khan, EVgo CEO. “With this deployment, we look forward to welcoming more Tesla and NACS drivers to the EVgo network.”
EVgo Superchargers can add up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes and will be equipped with Tesla’s Magic Dock technology, which enables CCS or NACS vehicles to charge natively without the use of an adapter. Designed for accessibility, these stations will also offer longer charging cables so every driver can easily plug in regardless of their charging inlet location.
In addition to EVgo Superchargers, EVgo’s future expansion plans include deploying its next-generation charging architecture, currently being developed at EVgo’s Innovation Lab in El Segundo, Calif. The first units are expected to be installed by the end of the year.
