EVgo is adding Superchargers to its network. Here’s what that means for your road trip.

EVgo announced on August 5 that it’s deploying its own branded “EVgo Superchargers” — Tesla V4 hardware capable of up to 500 kW — across its metro charging network, according to EVgo’s press release. The stations use Tesla’s Magic Dock, so NACS (Tesla-plug) and CCS-equipped EVs can both plug in without an adapter.

What changes for your trip planning

EVgo says the new stations will show up in your Tesla’s in-car navigation, and Trip Planner will be able to route you to them automatically, the same way it already routes you to Tesla-operated Superchargers. EVgo puts the charging speed at up to 200 miles of range added in about 15 minutes under ideal conditions. Deployment starts this fall, with the first sites expected online in the second half of 2026 — EVgo hasn’t published specific station addresses yet, so you won’t see them on a map until they’re closer to opening.

These aren’t Tesla-operated stations

It’s worth keeping the distinction straight: EVgo Superchargers are owned and operated by EVgo, not Tesla, even though they run on Tesla’s V4 charging hardware and Magic Dock technology. EVgo expects more than 35 NACS-equipped EV models on the road by the end of 2026, on top of the more than 3 million Tesla vehicles already in the U.S., all of which will be able to use these stations.

What to do in the meantime

Until EVgo publishes real locations, there’s nothing to change about how you plan a trip today — keep using your Tesla’s Trip Planner and Tesla’s own Supercharger network as your primary route. Treat EVgo Superchargers as an additional network to watch for, not a replacement, especially in metro areas where Tesla’s own stations can get crowded.
