"One of the biggest EV charging networks in the United States, EVgo, is ramping up efforts to install Tesla-style NACS cables at its stations across the country. After a successful pilot in 2025, when the company installed nearly 100 NACS connectors across 22 metropolitan areas, the charging network wants to supercharge the deployment this year, with more than 500 NACS connectors set to go online by the end of 2026 at its 350-kilowatt-capable stations."
"The new or upgraded sites will be open for business in more than 25 states, with an emphasis on the metropolitan areas of Austin, Houston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit and San Francisco. As more and more EVs roll off the assembly lines with a native Tesla-style NACS charging port, other charging operators are also getting in on the action, retrofitting old stations and installing new stalls with NACS connectors,"
"EVgo is just one of the companies working to cater to NACS-equipped EVs, and it still has a long way to go. The company currently operates a total of 1,165 DC fast charging stations in the United States, according to the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. These stations offer a total of 4,783 charging ports, and just 98 of them have NACS connectors."
EVgo piloted nearly 100 NACS connectors across 22 metropolitan areas in 2025 and plans to install more than 500 NACS connectors by the end of 2026 at its 350‑kilowatt‑capable stations. New or upgraded sites will open in over 25 states, focusing on Austin, Houston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit and San Francisco. Increasing factory-equipped NACS ports on new EVs has prompted other charging operators to retrofit stations and install NACS stalls. EVgo currently operates 1,165 DC fast charging stations with 4,783 ports, of which only 98 have NACS connectors. Significant expansion is still required to meet growing NACS demand.
