CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, or some of the information incorporated herein by reference, contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance, business strategies, expansion plans, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on EVgo management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

changes adversely affecting EVgo’s business;
the risks associated with cyclical demand for EVgo’s services and vulnerability to industry downturns and regional or national downturns;
fluctuations in EVgo’s revenue and operating results;
unfavorable conditions or further disruptions in the capital and credit markets;
EVgo’s ability to generate cash, service indebtedness and incur additional indebtedness;
competition from existing and new competitors;
the growth of the electric vehicle market;
EVgo’s ability to integrate any businesses it acquires;
EVgo’s ability to recruit and retain experienced personnel;
risks related to legal proceedings or claims, including liability claims;
EVgo’s dependence on third-party contractors to provide various services;
EVgo’s ability to obtain additional capital on commercially reasonable terms;
the impact of COVID-19, including COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions and expense increases;
safety and environmental requirements that may subject EVgo to unanticipated liabilities;
general economic or political conditions, including the armed conflict in Ukraine; and other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in EVgo’s periodic filings with the SEC.

EVgo’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on EVgo’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond EVgo’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of EVgo’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this prospectus and in any document incorporated herein by reference should not be relied upon as representing EVgo’s views as of any subsequent date, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Risk Factors

See “Risk Factors” and other information included in this prospectus for a discussion of factors you should consider before investing our securities.

5


RISK FACTORS

An investment in EVgo’s securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks incorporated by reference to EVgo’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus as updated by EVgo’s subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before acquiring any such securities. EVgo’s business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not known to it or that it considers immaterial as of the date of this prospectus. The trading price of EVgo’s securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Incorporation by Reference.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities we are offering for general corporate purposes. This may include, among other things, additions to working capital, repayment or refinancing of any indebtedness or other corporate obligations, financing of capital expenditures and acquisitions and investment in existing and future projects. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the offering and will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.

All of the Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $208.1 million from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the Warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such Warrants. To the extent that the Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the Warrants will decrease.

REDEMPTION OF OPCO UNITS AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK

EVgo is organized in an “Up-C” structure and operates its business through CRIS Thunder Merger Sub, LLC (“Thunder Sub”) and its subsidiaries, including EVgo OpCo. On the CRIS Close Date, Thunder Sub and EVgo Holdings entered into the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of EVgo OpCo (the “EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement”). Pursuant to the EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement, each OpCo Unit (other than an OpCo Unit held by Thunder Sub), together with one share of Class B Common Stock, will be redeemable, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at EVgo OpCo’s election, an amount of cash approximately equivalent to the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock. As holders of OpCo Units exchange their OpCo Units and Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock, our relative ownership interest in EVgo OpCo will correspondingly increase.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Securityholders of up to 200,747,717 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 3,148,569 Private Placement Warrants. The PIPE Investors acquired shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to separate subscription agreements entered into and effective as of January 21, 2021 (the “Subscription Agreements”). Climate Change Crisis Real Impact I Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), acquired shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock concurrently with our IPO (including shares converted from Class B Common Stock held by initial stockholders (the “initial stockholders”) of CRIS (the “Founder Shares”) into Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination). Mary Powell, Richard, L. Kauffman, Mimi Alemayehou, Anne Frank-Shapiro, Daniel Gross, Amir Mehr and Stephen Moch, our former directors, each acquired Founder Shares in connection with the Company’s IPO, which shares converted into Class A Common Stock at the Closing. Following the Closing, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure with EVgo Holdings holding 195,800,000 units in EVgo OpCo (the “EVgo OpCo Units”) and an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock. See “Redemption of OpCo Units and Class B Common Stock.”

When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, or other transferees who later come to hold any of the Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants other than through a public sale, including through a distribution by such Selling Securityholders to their members.

The following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders. It sets forth the name and address of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Securityholders both before and after the offering. We have based percentage ownership prior to this offering on 69,078,584 shares of Class A Common Stock, 195,800,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 3,148,569 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, in each case as of August 1, 2022. In calculating percentages of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by a particular Selling Securityholder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of that particular Selling Securityholder’s Private Placement Warrants, if any, and did not assume the exercise of any other Selling Securityholder’s Private Placement Warrants.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of such Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Selling Securityholders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering shares of Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock that may be offered from time to time in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of the offering. Additionally, we are registering the issuance by us of up to 3,148,569 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and 14,948,551 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants. We are also registering the resale by the Selling Securityholders of up to 3,148,569 Private Placement Warrants and 200,747,717 shares of our Class A Common Stock. Such shares include all shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Selling Securityholders, shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of OpCo Units, together with an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock, and PIPE Shares. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell, from time to time, their respective shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants covered by this prospectus.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of our Class A Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Private Placement Warrants to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will bear all discounts and commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities by the Selling Securityholders. We will receive proceeds from Warrants exercised in the event that such Warrants are exercised for cash. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders will be the purchase price of the securities less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling Securityholders. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

underwritten transactions (whether on a firm commitment or best efforts basis, including through bought deals);
exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions;
sales directly to one or more purchasers;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
through the distribution of securities by a Selling Securityholder to its partners, members or stockholders;
short sales and delivery of the shares of Class A Common Stock to close out short positions enter into after the effective date of this registration statement;
sales by broker-dealers of shares of Class A Common Stock that are loaned or pledged to such broker-dealers;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an option exchange of otherwise;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
sales on the Nasdaq or on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our Class A Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of the sale;
through trading plans entered into by a Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

9


sales through agents or to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;
in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
in privately negotiated transactions;
in options transactions;
through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Additionally, the Selling Securityholders may elect to make an in-kind distribution of their shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants to their respective members, partners or stockholders. To the extent that such members, partners or stockholders are not affiliates or ours, such members, partners of stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable securities pursuant to the distribution through this registration statement. The Selling Securityholders also may transfer their shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants in other circumstances, in which case the transferees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

This prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares of Class A Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

A Selling Securityholder may fix a price or prices of our Class A Common Stock at:

market prices prevailing at the time of any sale under this registration statement;
prices related to market prices; and
negotiated prices.

A Selling Securityholder may change the price of the Class A Common Stock offered from time to time.

A Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If an applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. If applicable through securities laws, the third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

10


At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public. If a Selling Securityholder uses underwriters in an offering, it will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriters. If a Selling Securityholder uses an underwriting syndicate, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement. If a Selling Securityholder uses underwriters for a sale of Class A Common Stock, the underwriters will acquire the shares for their own accounts. The underwriters may resell the Class A Common Stock from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedents and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Securityholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and their compensation will be described. A Selling Securityholder may enter into agreements with the underwriters, broker-dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents and their associates may engage in other transactions with and perform other services for us in the ordinary course of business.

If so indicated in a prospectus supplement, a Selling Securityholder will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as such Selling Securityholder’s agents to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. A Selling Securityholder may enter contracts with commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutional investors. The obligations of any institutional investor will be subject to the condition that its purchase of the offered securities will not be illegal at the time of delivery. The underwriters and other agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of contracts.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

A holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement on or before the expiration date set forth therein by surrendering, at the office of the warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the certificate evidencing such Warrants, with the form of election to purchase set forth thereon, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrants, subject to any applicable provisions relating to cashless exercises in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in any applicable prospectus supplement.

Class A Common Stock

Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock will possess all voting power for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class with holders of shares of Class B Common Stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of the Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of holders of the Preferred Stock have been satisfied and after payment or provision for payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities.

Other Matters. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Class A Common Stock.

Class B Common Stock

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Class B Common Stock will possess all voting power for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

12

Redemption Right.

Upon the future exchange of OpCo Units held by any holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder of OpCo Units will be cancelled.

Election of Directors

The Board of Directors is classified into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The directors first elected to Class I will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; the directors first elected to Class II will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders; and the directors first elected to Class III will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected by plurality vote of all votes cast at such meeting to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election.

Preferred Stock

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Board of Directors is able, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of existing management. The Company has no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the date hereof.

Redeemable Warrants

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least two units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire on July 1, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company is not obligated to deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant is exercisable and the Company is not obligated to issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant is not entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event is the Company required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the

13


exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A Common Stock underlying such unit.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00. The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (which the Company refers to as the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments”).

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any such exercise would not be done on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised. However, the price of Class A Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, EVgo may redeem the outstanding warrants:

in whole and not in part;
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A Common Stock (as defined below in the immediately following paragraph) except as otherwise described below;
if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above under the heading “— Redeemable Warrants — Public Warrants — Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00”) equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Redeemable Warrants — Public Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”); and
if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Redeemable Warrants — Public Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

Beginning on the date the notice of redemption is given until the warrants are redeemed or exercised, holders may elect to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that a warrant holder will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption

14


by the Company pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of Class A Common Stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined for these purposes based on the volume-weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. The Company will provide its warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the ten-trading day period described above ends.

The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant or the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the exercise price of the warrant after such adjustment and the denominator of which is the price of the warrant immediately prior to such adjustment. In such an event, the number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted by multiplying such share amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. If the exercise price is adjusted, (a) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the fifth paragraph under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the market value and the newly issued price as set forth under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00 and (b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph under the heading “— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price less the decrease in the exercise price of a warrant pursuant to such exercise price adjustment.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on

15


which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 shares of Class A Common Stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 shares of Class A Common Stock for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A Common Stock per whole warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by the Company pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any Class A Common Stock.

This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other blank check companies, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the Private Placement Warrants) when the trading price for Class A Common Stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when Class A Common Stock are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of Class A Common Stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. The Company established this redemption feature to provide it with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of September 29, 2020. This redemption right provides the Company with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to its capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. The Company is required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if the Company chooses to exercise this redemption right and it will allow the Company to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if it determines it is in its best interest to do so. As such, the Company would redeem the warrants in this manner when it believes it is in its best interest to update its capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.

As stated above, the Company can redeem the warrants when the shares of Class A Common Stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to its capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If the Company chooses to redeem the warrants when the shares of Class A Common Stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer shares of Class A Common Stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for shares of Class A Common Stock if and when such shares of Class A Common Stock were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.

No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the warrants may be exercised for such security.

Redemption Procedures. A holder of a warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-Dilution Adjustments. If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock entitling

16


holders to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price less than the historical fair market value (as defined below) will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon conversion or exercise and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

The warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. On October 5, 2020, the Company filed a copy of the Warrant Agreement with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K. The Warrant Agreement contains a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00”) so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO.

Except as described above under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00,” if holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they

17


would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A Common Stock over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of Class A Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants, as applicable. The reason the Company agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees is because it was not known at that time whether they will be affiliated with the Company following an initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with the Company, their ability to sell the Company’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. The Company expects to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling the Company’s securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell the Company’s securities, an insider cannot trade in the Company’s securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, the Company believes that allowing holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor and the other initial stockholders terminated the existing registration rights agreement and entered into the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with EVgo Holdings (together with the Sponsor, the other initial stockholders and any person or entity who becomes a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, the “Holders”) that grant certain resale registration rights with respect to (a) the Private Placement Warrants (including any shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any Private Placement Warrants), (b) shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any Founder Shares, (c) any outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by a Holder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, (d) any shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon exchange of OpCo Units and shares of Class B Common Stock held by a Holder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and (e) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the registrable securities, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1, originally filed with the SEC on July 20, 2021 (File Number 333-258052) (the “Registration Statement”), registering the resale of the registrable securities permitted to be registered for resale from time to time pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement was declared effective on July 30, 2021. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides holders with certain customary demand and piggyback registration rights. The Company has filed the Registration Statement to satisfy such obligations. Additionally, the Company agreed that, as soon as reasonably practicable after it is eligible to register holders’ securities on a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company will file a new registration statement with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense), and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such new registration statement to become effective and remain effective, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to satisfy such obligation.

Pursuant to Subscription Agreements effective as of January 21, 2021 entered into with a number of purchasers to purchase from the Company a total of 40,000,000 PIPE Shares, the Company agreed to file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Registration Statement initially filed on July 20, 2021 and declared effective on July 30, 2021 included the PIPE Shares.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Charter and Bylaws

The Company’s Charter provides that it opted out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). However, the Company’s Charter contains similar provisions providing that it may not engage in certain “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

prior to such time, the Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the Company’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding certain shares; or
at or subsequent to that time, the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors and by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock.

Under certain circumstances, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate in advance with the Board of Directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board of Directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Board of Directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

The Company’s Charter provides that LS Power (as defined in the Company’s Charter) and its affiliates, any of its respective direct or indirect transferees who hold at least 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock after such transfer and any group as to which such persons are party to, do not constitute “interested stockholders” for purposes of this provision.

The Company’s authorized but unissued common stock and Preferred Stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
