EVgo Plans 750 kW Chargers for 2027

A Higher-Capacity Charging Bet

EVgo has previewed a DC fast charging system planned for 2027 that can deliver up to 750 kW, according to Fleet Management Weekly. The system is designed to share power among charging stalls, adjusting output to each vehicle as battery demand changes.

The company is developing and testing the chargers at its Innovation Lab in El Segundo, California, with support from Delta Electronics. Each station is expected to include a NACS connector, easier-to-handle cables and touchless payment.

Why the Specs Matter to Fleets

EVgo says the system could charge the fastest-charging EVs currently sold in the U.S. in around 10 minutes. That is a consumer-friendly headline, but for fleets the more important question is throughput: how many vehicles can be moved through a site during real operating windows without creating a queue.

Shared power also changes site-planning math. Depot and public-network users need to know whether peak output is available to one vehicle, balanced across several stalls or limited by grid capacity. A higher headline rating helps only if the site design, duty cycle and vehicle mix can actually use it.

Planning Beyond the Plug

The announcement lands as fleets are still working through charger reliability, payment workflows and driver routing. Faster hardware may shorten dwell time, but it also raises the stakes for uptime, cable usability and clear pricing or authorization at the charger.

For fleet teams building 2027 replacement and charging plans, the takeaway is simple: watch not just which networks add higher-kW hardware, but how they allocate power, support mixed connector needs and report charger availability back into routing and dispatch tools.
