Public electric vehicle charging networks are expanding rapidly as the auto industry shifts toward Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug. EVgo has officially announced plans to deploy white-label “EVgo Superchargers” across major metropolitan areas starting later this year, marking a hardware partnership between two of the largest fast-charging operators in the U.S.

According to a press release from EVgo, Supercharger deployments on its network will kick off this fall, with the first operational locations slated to open in the second half of 2026.

White-Label Superchargers with Magic Dock

The new chargers will utilize Tesla’s latest Supercharger hardware. EVgo will install all-V4 Supercharger stations capable of 500 kW power output to compatible EVs, utilizing both V4 stalls and V4 cabinets designed to supply up to 1,000 volts.

These stations come equipped with Magic Dock, allowing both NACS and CCS vehicles to plug in natively without adapters. Longer charging cables also ensure easier access regardless of where an EV places its charge port.

EVgo CEO Badar Khan highlighted the rollout in an official statement, noting:

“EVgo is making it easier for EV drivers to find convenient fast charging, and we’re bringing more infrastructure options to communities across America to serve the growing demand for public charging. With this deployment, we look forward to welcoming more Tesla and NACS drivers to the EVgo network.”

Seamless Navigation and Tesla’s Business Program

To make finding chargers seamless, EVgo’s white-label locations will appear directly on Tesla’s in-car navigation. Tesla drivers will be automatically routed to EVgo Supercharger sites using the built-in Trip Planner, building on EVgo’s existing relationship with the EV pioneer.

EVgo is purchasing this hardware through Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program, which allows third-party commercial operators to buy charging posts and cabinets, apply their own branding, and keep charging revenue while Tesla handles system management and maintenance with a 97% uptime guarantee. EVgo, which already operates over 4,400 charging points in the U.S., is the first third-party charging network to take advantage of this initiative.

Tesla typically charges a flat, all-inclusive fee of $0.10 per kWh for revenue-generating third-party sites. While EVgo has not disclosed the exact financial terms of the agreement, the per-post upfront cost of purchasing Superchargers from Tesla is publicly available on the Supercharger for Business calculator. Interested businesses can get quotes for upfront Supercharger purchase costs using the Supercharger for Business calculator on Tesla’s website.
