- EVgo previewed a new DC fast charging system capable of delivering up to 750 kW, with power dynamically shared across stalls based on each connected EV's battery needs.
- The chargers are being developed and tested at EVgo's Innovation Lab in El Segundo, California, with support from Delta Electronics.
- Each station will feature a NACS connector, easier-to-handle cables, and touchless payment capability.
- EVgo claims the system could charge the fastest-charging EVs currently sold in the US in around 10 minutes, but has not disclosed the battery state-of-charge range behind that estimate.
- EVgo now expects to reveal the final design and begin deploying the system in 2027, slipping the previously announced H2 2026 rollout target set when it announced its Delta partnership in 2024.
- The article flags that actual charging speeds depend on vehicle, battery temperature, and state of charge — and that the real test will come when multiple EVs plug in at once.
Why it matters: EVgo's 2027 deployment represents a material slip from the H2 2026 timeline it set with Delta in 2024, while the company's flagship 10-minute charging claim lacks a disclosed state-of-charge range — so drivers and fleet operators evaluating the network will need to wait longer than promised and treat the speed figure as unproven until multi-vehicle testing happens.
