EVgo will install hundreds of Tesla-made V4 Superchargers across its public fast-charging network under its own brand, the company announced August 5.
EVgo is the largest charging operator to join Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program, which previously signed smaller operators such as Suncoast Charging and Francis Energy. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall, with the first sites expected to open in the second half of 2026.
What EVgo is building
EVgo signed an agreement with Tesla through its Supercharger for Business program, which lets third-party companies own and brand charging infrastructure built with Tesla hardware.
EVgo will install hundreds of Tesla V4 Superchargers at its own charging locations in the United States. The EVgo-branded stations will support both NACS and CCS vehicles and appear directly in Tesla’s navigation system.
EVgo signed an agreement with Tesla through its Supercharger for Business program to deploy “hundreds” of EVgo-owned and branded V4 Superchargers in US cities , with deployment starting this fall. Each location is expected to feature up to 20 stalls located near stores and restaurants. The V4 Superchargers support charging at up to 500 kW and 1,000 volts, making them compatible with both current 400-volt EVs and newer 800-volt architectures.
They are equipped with Tesla’s Magic Dock system, enabling both NACS- and CCS-equipped vehicles to charge without requiring an external adapter.
EVgo is calling them “EVgo Superchargers,” and they’ll be part of EVgo’s network. The Superchargers will be owned by EVgo, which will also set the pricing. But the hardware will be operated and maintained by Tesla. 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.
Why EVgo is doing this now
EVgo CEO Badar Khan has described the company as the third-largest fast-charging operator in the United States. Consumer demand on the EVgo network has increased over 700% in the last three years .
With more than 35 NACS-equipped models anticipated by the end of 2026 and more than 3 million Tesla vehicles already sold in the U.S., this expansion will ensure EVgo continues to lead with NACS.
EVgo CEO Badar Khan framed the move as widening options for drivers. “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 joins a small group of charging networks that have signed on to Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program, including smaller operators such as Suncoast Charging and Francis Energy, which began deploying branded third-party Superchargers in late 2025 and early 2026. That distribution advantage matters because Tesla’s in-car navigation has become a powerful tool for steering drivers to specific chargers.
More hardware on the way
The Tesla deal is only part of EVgo’s broader buildout. 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.
That in-house system, built with Delta Electronics, aims even higher than the Tesla hardware. EVgo has previewed a new DC fast charging system capable of delivering up to 750 kW. The system will share power among charging stalls, adjusting the amount delivered to each EV as its battery’s needs change.
EVgo now expects to reveal the final design and begin deployment in 2027, later than the end-of-2026 target tied to its original announcement. While batteries that can pull that kind of energy aren’t in cars sold in the US yet, they will be soon enough.
What it means for drivers
The deployment reflects the industry’s broader shift toward NACS as the standard connector for fast charging, a transition GCN has tracked as reliability improves and as charging ports keep climbing.
By putting Tesla-grade hardware on EVgo-owned real estate, the companies are betting that shared infrastructure, rather than separate competing networks, will do more to ease charging anxiety for a growing mix of EV brands on US roads.
