Public fast charging EV network EVgo is collaborating with power management specialist Delta Electronics to jointly develop a next-generation EV charging architecture. The new architecture aims to bolster reliability and increase cost savings and energy efficiency.
Thirty cities in the United States feature EVgo EV charging networks, with concentrations in Florida, New York, Washington State, Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland and Georgia.
EVgo and Delta will expand their existing collaboration to develop fast chargers that will centre on the customer experience. This will include several design features ranging from software, all-in-one power electronics, contactless payment interface, ultra high-power 400kW dispensers, and extended cable length that allows for more manoeuvrability to reach charge port locations on all EV models. The company has committed to support all EV drivers, regardless of the make or model of their vehicle.
The new charging architecture will also enhance energy efficiency and power distribution across sites. It will align with forecast future battery advancements and allow dynamic power sharing across as many as six charging stalls at a time. Extended power sharing will allow a variety of station configurations to suit a specific site’s needs, and support a growing number of EV drivers on the road.
EVgo expects to complete final design and rigorous interoperability testing in its Innovation Lab and deploy these new chargers by the second half of 2026. The company plans to enhance its charger firmware and software capabilities to enable more detailed error codes and a more flexible interface to improve maintenance, reset times, and the overall customer experience.
“EVgo is committed to delivering a superior experience for our customers and we continue to advance long-term solutions to maximise convenience and improve reliability,” said Dennis Kish, President of EVgo. “As the next step in our evolution, EVgo will leverage our learnings and experience from working with over one million customers across the US to develop this next-generation charging architecture in collaboration with Delta Electronics with the goal of increasing consumer confidence in public EV infrastructure and supporting broader adoption of electric vehicles nationwide.”
Austin Tseng, President of Delta Electronics (Americas), said, “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. Delta’s core competencies in high-efficiency power electronics and system integration will be key to this endeavour.”
