The EVgo ReNew programme will replace, upgrade, and in some cases retire hundreds of stations to enhance and build up charger availability and reliability

Through the programme, EVgo plans to replace, upgrade, or in some cases retire, hundreds of stations over the coming year with the goals of enhancing charger availability and building range confidence for EV drivers of all types. It builds on the company’s existing charger maintenance efforts, which include 24/7 monitoring and preventative health checks at charging stations, as part of its commitment to industry-leading uptime.

“More than a decade ago, EVgo was one of the first companies to install public fast chargers,” said Cathy Zoi, CEO at EVgo. "The EVgo ReNew programme represents our ongoing dedication to reliability as we proactively modernise legacy infrastructure and work to deliver the consistent, high-quality charging experience customers expect across our network." 

With EVgo’s network currently charging nearly 50 different EV models – and an anticipated total of more than 100 EV models available to the market in the next two years – EVgo ReNew is designed to ensure that all EV drivers will be able to take advantage of reliable, convenient and fast charging sessions across EVgo’s nationwide network.

Through the first three quarters of 2022, EVgo says it upgraded, replaced or removed 125 charging stalls and is actively working with partners and site hosts to evaluate upgrading, replacing, or removing hundreds of additional charging stalls in 2023.
