EVgo launches first Tesla Supercharger station in Chicago

EVgo has opened its first Tesla Supercharger station in a Chicago grocery store parking lot, marking the beginning of a rollout that includes hundreds of additional stalls planned across the United States.

The new site at Riverside Square and River’s Edge features 12 fast-charging stalls equipped with both NACS and CCS plugs. Utilizing Magic Dock technology, the station allows both NACS and CCS vehicles to charge without the need for an adapter. While EVgo owns the stations and sets the pricing, Tesla is responsible for running and maintaining the hardware.

EVgo plans to integrate hundreds more Supercharger stalls into its network, with initial sites located at Regency Centers shopping plazas. Additionally, the company is expanding its regular fast-charging network to include NACS plugs, aiming for 500 such stalls across the US by the end of 2026. The company also intends to ensure that every EVgo site built from 2023 onwards includes at least one NACS connection within the next two years.
