EVgo to Install Licensed Tesla V4 Superchargers Across U.S. Metro Network

EVgo says the licensed V4 chargers will boost station power to 500 kW, enable native NACS and CCS charging, appear in Tesla’s in-car route planner, and begin installation this fall.

Overview

  • EVgo announced on Wednesday that it will add EVgo-branded, license-built Tesla V4 Superchargers to its metropolitan fast-charging network, with deployments starting this fall and first sites expected to be operational in the second half of 2026.
  • The V4 units operate up to 500 kW at 1,000 volts and use Tesla’s Magic Dock so both NACS and CCS vehicles can charge natively without an adapter.
  • EVgo will own and operate the chargers, handle site host agreements, utility interconnection, and price management, and the stations will appear in Tesla’s in-car navigation and Trip Planner.
  • EVgo says the Superchargers can add up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes and will feature longer charging cables for easier access to vehicle inlets.
  • The rollout is framed as a response to more than 700% growth in EVgo’s network demand over three years and sits alongside EVgo’s El Segundo Innovation Lab work on a next-generation charging architecture with initial units expected by year-end, subject to normal interconnection and timing risks.
