The same month, EVgo acquired Recargo, the California company which develops the PlugShare electric vehicle charging station locator application, for US$25 million.
At the annual CES tech trade show in January 2023, EVgo announced a partnership with online retailer Amazon to allow drivers with Alexa-equipped cars to locate, schedule and pay for charging using Alexa, with a planned roll-out later in 2023.
[17] EVgo stations tend to be located at convenience stores and other retail establishments which already have parking lots, allowing drivers to make purchases while their cars are charging.
EVgo also provides chargers for a fleet of Kenworth T680E semi-tractor trailers at the Fontana, California facility of logistics company MHX.
[27] In November 2023, EVgo also announced an expanded partnership with Meijer, a regional grocery retailer, to install and operate new fast charging stations in the Midwest.
The EVgo stations will be located in Ohio and feature up to six stalls with high-power 350kW chargers, aiming to provide quick charging services for EV drivers.
