EVgo Plans 750 kW Charging System for 2027 Deployment
The new DC fast chargers, developed with Delta Electronics, will feature NACS connectors and dynamic power sharing among stalls.
EVgo has previewed a new DC fast charging system capable of delivering up to 750 kW, with deployment expected to begin in 2027. The announcement marks a shift from previous timelines, as the company initially projected a rollout in the second half of 2026.
What Happened
The new charging system is currently being developed and tested at EVgo’s Innovation Lab in El Segundo, California, with support from Delta Electronics. The design features a NACS connector and aims to include easier-to-handle cables and touchless payment options. A key aspect of the system is its ability to share power among charging stalls, adjusting the amount delivered to each electric vehicle based on its battery’s changing needs, subject to the total power available across the system.
Why It Matters
EVgo claims the 750 kW system could charge the fastest-charging EVs currently sold in the US in approximately 10 minutes. However, the company has not specified the battery percentage range for this estimate, and actual charging speeds will vary depending on the vehicle, battery temperature, and state of charge. The deployment timeline, now set for 2027, is later than the H2 2026 rollout EVgo projected when it announced its partnership with Delta in 2024.
The Bottom Line
While the 750 kW system promises significant speed improvements, it remains in the preview stage. The real-world performance, particularly how power is distributed when multiple EVs plug in simultaneously, will be tested upon deployment in 2027.
