EVgo to Deploy Tesla-Branded Superchargers Under Licensing Deal

In an interesting turn for the US charging landscape, EVgo has announced it will begin construction on Tesla Supercharger stations under a licensing agreement. The first of these V4 Superchargers, which will feature both NACS and CCS1 connectors, are set to appear in the Tesla navigation app once operational. This move marks a significant shift, as it allows Tesla’s proprietary network to expand through a third-party operator, potentially boosting charging availability for a wider range of EV drivers. The partnership could also signal a new business model for fast-charging infrastructure, where established networks collaborate to leverage each other’s strengths.
