EVgo Opens Its First Tesla Supercharger Site in Chicago

EVgo has opened its first Tesla Supercharger site. According to an EVgo press release, the new “EVgo Supercharger” station near downtown Chicago has 12 stalls, the first of hundreds EVgo plans to add to its network across the U.S.

“By serving both Tesla and non-Tesla NACS drivers, we’re doubling EVgo’s addressable market and continuing to meet EV drivers where they are and where they want to charge,” said EVgo CEO Badar Khan.

V4 Superchargers With Magic Dock

EVgo first announced plans to install Tesla’s V4 Superchargers back in August through Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program. EVgo was the first third-party charging network to sign up. It buys the hardware, adds its own branding, and keeps the revenue, while Tesla handles management and maintenance for a fee with a 97% uptime guarantee.

Not a Tesla App

The stalls can deliver up to 500 kW at up to 1,000 volts, and they come with Magic Dock, so both NACS and CCS vehicles can charge without an adapter. The longer V4 cables also make it easier to reach charge ports in different spots.

The first locations are at grocery-anchored shopping centers owned by Regency Centers, a longtime EVgo partner, so drivers can shop or grab food while they charge.

Easier to Find for Tesla Drivers

EVgo Superchargers show up in Tesla’s Trip Planner and in-car navigation, just like Tesla’s own Superchargers. Since early September, Tesla drivers who enable third-party chargers in their navigation can also see other EVgo locations with NACS stalls.

It’s the latest step in a relationship that goes back years. EVgo was the first public charging network to offer a Tesla connector, and in 2022 it added Autocharge+ support for CCS-equipped Teslas, letting owners plug in and charge without swiping a card.

More NACS Stalls Coming

EVgo started adding NACS connectors to its own chargers in 2025 and expects to have 500 NACS stalls nationwide by the end of this year, on top of its Superchargers. It plans to have a NACS connector at all of its sites built in 2023 or later within the next two years.

EVgo hasn’t said where its next Supercharger sites will open or when, but with hundreds more planned, Tesla owners should start seeing more EVgo pins in their navigation soon.
