EVgo Partners with Delta Electronics to Develop Next-Generation EV Charging Architecture

Posted

EVgo Inc., one of the nation's largest public fast-charging networks for electric vehicles (EVs), has announced an improvement in their development of next-generation EV charging solutions. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Delta Electronics, Inc., a global leader in power management and green technology. This partnership aims to advance EV charging architecture with a focus on customer experience, reliability, cost savings, and energy efficiency.

Expanding Collaboration to Redefine EV Charging

The latest agreement builds upon EVgo and Delta’s long-standing partnership, which has already contributed to state-of-the-art fast charging technologies. As part of the collaboration, the companies will work together to create advanced chargers that offer a variety of new features. These include ultra high-power 400kW dispensers, extended cable lengths for easier access to charge ports, and an intuitive, contactless payment interface.

These innovations enhance EVgo's commitment to serving all EV drivers, regardless of the make or model of their vehicle. Dennis Kish, President of EVgo, emphasized the company's dedication to improving the customer experience. "EVgo is committed to delivering a superior experience for our customers, and we continue to advance long-term solutions to maximize convenience and improve reliability," he said.

Customer-Centric Design and Technological Advancements

This new EV charging architecture will improve user convenience and introduce significant enhancements in energy efficiency. One of the most notable features is the ability to dynamically share power across up to six charging stalls. This will allow EVgo to better utilize power resources while reducing overall energy costs. These new configurations are particularly important as the demand for EV charging increases, and EVgo expands its charging station footprint to meet the growing needs of the market.

Austin Tseng, President of Delta Electronics (Americas), echoed the commitment to innovation. "Delta looks forward to collaborating further with EVgo as we pioneer the future of EV charging infrastructure by redefining the customer experience, enhancing charger reliability, and advancing energy conservation," Tseng stated. He also highlighted Delta’s expertise in high-efficiency power electronics as a key contributor to the success of the project.

Focus on Innovation and Sustainability

A crucial component of this new architecture will be EVgo’s integration of advanced software and firmware, which will enhance maintenance efficiency and reduce downtime. The system will feature more detailed error codes and quicker reset times, streamlining the overall operation of EVgo’s charging stations. These innovations will also allow the charging infrastructure to adapt to new battery technologies and charging curves, making EV charging sessions faster and more efficient.

EVgo’s next-generation charging technology is expected to be deployed by the second half of 2026. The company aims to reduce its capital expenses by 30% per charging stall while increasing peak power delivery by 20%. These goals align with the broader objective of reducing energy consumption and improving the environmental footprint of EV charging.

Supporting EV Infrastructure Growth Through the ReNew Program

EVgo’s efforts to develop cutting-edge charging solutions are happening alongside its ReNew program, which focuses on enhancing the customer experience across its network. Recently, the company introduced new diagnostic tools to improve charger reliability and made upgrades to its Autocharge+ feature, simplifying the payment process for EV drivers. In addition, EVgo continues to address legacy equipment while investing in future charging technologies.
