October 10 2024
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NASDAQ/evgo-EVGO/stock-news/94697834/evgo-and-delta-electronics-sign-mou-to-co-develop
Co--development will improve customer experience, enhance charger reliability, and drive cost efficiencies with advanced firmware and hardware design
EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (“EVgo” or the “Company”), one of the nation's largest public fast charging networks for electric vehicles (EVs), announced today that it has entered into a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) with longtime technology partner, Delta Electronics, Inc. (“Delta”), a global leader in power management and a provider of IoT-based smart green solutions, to jointly develop next-generation EV charging architecture. This new charging architecture is designed to provide EVgo with more control over the full customer experience while bolstering reliability and delivering increased cost savings and enhanced energy efficiency.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241010971416/en/
Under the agreement, EVgo and Delta will expand their years-long collaboration to develop state-of-the-art fast chargers that will center on the customer experience.

https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NASDAQ/evgo-EVGO/stock-news/94662902/evgo-receives-conditional-commitment-for-doe-loan
Access to low-cost financing is expected to support construction of approximately 7,500 new DC fast charging stalls in community locations
EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (“EVgo” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks for electric vehicles (EVs), announced today that it has received a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee of up to $1.05 billion of debt financing, from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office (“LPO”) under its Title 17 program to accelerate expansion of its fast charging network in community locations across the U.S.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241003903916/en/

The financing would accelerate EVgo’s efforts to scale its charging footprint and increase nationwide access to convenient, reliable public charging stations. Access to this low-cost financing will facilitate the build out of approximately 7,500 additional fast charging stalls across the U.S., with the top state markets anticipated to be Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. If finalized, EVgo expects to complete the deployment of the new stalls by 2030.
The network expansion will complement the corridor charging being deployed through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program by creating localized, community charging stations with an emphasis on increased access and availability in areas that serve multifamily housing residents and others who rely primarily on public charging for their needs.
In alignment with the Biden-Harris administration’s Justice40 initiative, over 40% of stalls to be built pursuant to the financing, if finalized, are anticipated to be in marginalized areas that have been overburdened by environmental impacts. EVgo also plans to leverage the 30C tax credit, which was expanded as part of the Inflation Reduction Act and supports the buildout of public EV charging infrastructure with a focus on driving investment to rural and lower-income communities.
“EVgo shares the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of increasing EV charging access in the communities that need it most,” said Badar Khan, CEO at EVgo. “This historic investment would meaningfully accelerate our network expansion to provide public charging to EV drivers across the United States.”
The proposed financing will be provided directly by the Federal Financing Bank as a loan, guaranteed by DOE, and structured as a limited recourse project financing. EVgo will not need to raise any third-party equity—public or private—to reach financial close and begin drawdown. The financing structure provides EVgo flexibility to continue scaling its network both within and outside of the Project, to meet growing demand and support the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of building a nationwide network of public chargers.
EVgo estimates that the project buildout will create more than 1,000 jobs, over 700 of which will be contracted resources engaged by the Company encompassing roles in construction, engineering, development, and operations and maintenance.
EVgo has a successful history of public-private partnerships and will continue to collaborate with utilities and state agencies to leverage incentives and funding programs that help to accelerate infrastructure deployment. Partnering with retail site hosts and property owners, EVgo has over a decade of experience in making EV charging more accessible and supporting the broader adoption of electric vehicles.
EVgo and DOE are committed to a superior customer experience for EV drivers and will collaborate on long-term solutions to maximize charging convenience and reliability to bolster consumer confidence and support broader EV adoption across the country. EVgo continues to invest in developing next-generation charging infrastructure that will enhance customer experience and expects to begin rolling out this new infrastructure in the second half of 2026. If finalized, the landmark partnership between EVgo and DOE will enable EVgo to build the fast charging network of the future and deliver a seamless charging experience for all EV drivers.
While this conditional commitment indicates DOE’s intent to finance the project, the Company must satisfy certain technical, legal, environmental, and financial conditions before the Department enters into definitive financing documents and funds the loan.

"The seismic shift in the competitive landscape for EV charging has opened new opportunities to drive usage on the EVgo network and accelerate our network expansion by fostering new site host partnerships,” said Badar Khan, CEO of EVgo. “EVgo had previously identified more than 100,000 potential stalls with strategic site host partners, and with recent industry changes, we welcome further dialogue with our current and potential partners on how we can collaborate to deploy more fast charging infrastructure in convenient locations for drivers.”
EVgo’s NACS roll-out will be unique given the network’s proliferation of high-power 350kW chargers that require liquid cooled cable technology. Today, nearly 40% of EVgo’s stalls are powered by a 350kW charger – almost double the percentage a year ago – to best serve vehicle models with the most advanced battery technology and high peak charge rates.
Both Tesla and future non-Tesla NACS vehicles will be able to take advantage of Autocharge+, EVgo’s streamlined payment feature that allows drivers to plug in and initiate a charge without the use of an app, credit card, or RFID card. Autocharge+ mirrors the Plug and Charge experience and is available to over 50 vehicle models, including all Tesla models today that are compatible with the CCS adapter made by Tesla.
