EVgo’s 750 kW charging system is coming in 2027

EVgo, one of the larger public EV charging networks, has shown off a new fast-charging system that can deliver up to 750 kilowatts. The system splits power among multiple charging stalls at once, adjusting how much each car gets based on its battery's needs and how much power is available overall. EVgo says its fastest-charging design could bring some of today's quickest-charging EVs to a full charge in around 10 minutes, though the company hasn't said what battery range that estimate covers, and real-world charging speed always depends on the car, the battery's temperature, and how full it already is.

This isn't available yet. EVgo is still developing and testing the system at a lab in California with a manufacturing partner, and plans to finalize the design and start installing it in 2027. That's later than the company originally expected when it first announced the project in 2024. The stations will use the NACS connector, the plug type now standard on most new EVs sold in the US, and are meant to have easier-to-handle cables and tap-to-pay options.

For homeowners, this doesn't affect any home charging equipment or rebates. It's a preview of future public fast-charging hardware, not something installed on EVgo's network yet. If you drive an EV or are considering one, it's a sign that public charging speeds may keep climbing, but the real test will be how the system performs once several cars are plugged in at the same time.
