New video series featuring EVgo leadership
debuts as part of ongoing commitment to customer education
EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (“EVgo” or the “Company”), one of the
nation’s largest public fast charging networks for electric
vehicles (EVs), announced the launch of “Charge Talk,” a new video
series dedicated to educating current and prospective EV drivers on
the latest hot topics and frequently asked questions related to EV
charging. The first three episodes are available online, with new
episodes from the first installment of the series to be released
each month. The most recent installment features a discussion on
CCS and the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors and
what EV drivers may expect to see in the future as charging
networks like EVgo evolve to meet consumer needs.

“Charge Talk” builds on EVgo’s steadfast commitment to education
and transparency in support of mass EV adoption and charging
infrastructure expansion. In 2021, the Company launched Connect the
Watts™, an initiative focused on bringing the EV charging
infrastructure community together to identify best practices and
accelerate fast charger deployment. Earlier this year, EVgo
announced EVgo ReNew™, its enhanced and comprehensive network
upgrade program designed to advance uptime and boost range
confidence for all EV drivers. As a complement to EVgo ReNew, the
“Charge Talk” series will focus on consumer education, hoping to
increase successful charging sessions for EV drivers.
With EV sales skyrocketing, industry analysts have estimated
that more than 300,000 public fast chargers will be needed by 2030
to meet EV charging demand. As public charging expands and reaches
new areas, first-time EV drivers are learning about the distinct
aspects of EV ownership and are searching for information to get
the best charging experience. EVgo continues to expand its network
footprint in collaboration with automakers and site host partners
to serve these drivers, and the Company is adding to its roster of
educational content to support a seamless transition to the EV
lifestyle through “Charge Talk” and other short videos presented by
experts on the team. Topics include session initiation, charging
speeds, how to pay for charging and more.
“EVgo is committed to delivering a great customer experience.
With all the new EV drivers hitting the road, we want to make sure
they have the resources they need to use public fast charging
successfully,” said Dennis Kish, Chief Operating Officer at EVgo.
“One of the simplest (but not necessarily the most intuitive)
pieces of advice we give first-time EV drivers is to always follow
the directions on the charger screen and plug in the connector
first. The momentum we’re seeing in electrification is inspiring,
and we remain dedicated to our educational efforts to help drivers
make the transition to clean transportation with confidence.”
Based on questions and comments that EVgo receives via social
media and email, as well as trending topics in news articles and
reports, episodes of the new series will address often-asked
questions and debunk common misconceptions for new EV owners and
those considering purchasing an EV.
