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.
EVgo will build at least 150 fast charging stalls per year through 2035 at Kroger, Foods Co., Fred Meyer, Fry's Food Stores, Harris Teeter, King Soopers and Smith's Food and Drug locations across the U.S. Each station will feature up to 16 high-power stalls. The charging operator didn't say just how powerful these stalls would be, but the Salt Lake City location, which is a Smith's store, has 12 350-kilowatt chargers that can charge up to 24 cars simultaneously.
