EVgo’s transformation from a regulatory aftershock of the Enron scandal into a powerhouse of America’s electric vehicle future is nothing short of remarkable. Launched in 2010 as a mandated buildout of public EV chargers in California, EVgo has since evolved into one of the nation’s largest fast-charging networks, now spanning 47 states and serving millions of customers. With strategic ownership changes, a high-profile SPAC public debut led by its visionary founder David Crane, and a game-changing $1.25 billion DOE loan, EVgo is poised to more than triple its fast-charging footprint by 2029. The company’s sharp focus on fast DC charging, partnerships with automakers like GM, and innovative customer software experiences position it as a critical player solving the “chicken-and-egg” dilemma of EV adoption. But as it scales, EVgo faces fierce competition—most notably from Tesla’s dominant Supercharger network—and the relentless challenge of turning infrastructure into profits.
