About

EVgo is a Los Angeles-based public electric vehicle fast charging network and the largest in the United States. Publicly traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker EVGO, the company operates over 950 fast charging locations across 35+ states, with all stations powered by 100% renewable electricity through renewable energy certificates and direct power purchase agreements.\n\nEVgo focuses exclusively on DC fast charging (DCFC), offering 50 kW to 350 kW charging capability across its network. The company has pursued a public-facing charging model targeting EV drivers without home charging access — primarily apartment and condo residents — and has built charging locations in high-traffic urban areas, shopping centers, and grocery stores to serve this demographic.\n\nEVgo has established automaker partnerships with General Motors, Nissan, and Honda to jointly develop charging infrastructure as part of those companies' EV commitments. The company is also expanding its fleet charging business with dedicated fleet charging hubs designed for rideshare, commercial delivery, and municipal fleet operators. EVgo went public via SPAC in 2021 and has used public market access to accelerate its network expansion with support from federal infrastructure funding programs.
