EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (“EVgo” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced that the Company reached more than one million registered customer accounts nationwide.

This momentum reflects growing EV adoption rates in the U.S. as well as increased demand for public charging infrastructure. During the first quarter of 2024, utilization on the EVgo network was approximately 19% nationwide, and the gigawatt hour throughput on the network nearly tripled year over year compared to the first quarter of 2023. EVgo more than doubled its registered accounts in under two years, having last celebrated reaching 500,000 accounts in October 2022.

As demand grows on the network, EVgo continues to roll out features that optimize the customer experience, including Autocharge+, EVgo’s streamlined plug and charge payment feature, which is now available to more than 50 EV models. Total charging sessions initiated by Autocharge+ more than quadrupled in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. In addition to simplified payment options, EVgo continues to roll out more high-power charging, with nearly 40% of EVgo's stalls now powered by a 350 kW charger, an increase from 22% at the end of March 2023.

“EVgo is laser focused on building a customer-centric charging network that now serves over one million drivers,” said EVgo CEO, Badar Khan. “And as more drivers make the switch to electric, we’re seeing demand on the EVgo network skyrocket. With 100,000 potential stalls already identified with site host partners, we look forward to serving many more drivers as we continue to grow our footprint across the U.S.”
