Unlike many competitors, EVgo owns and operates its charging stations, generating revenue by charging users for electricity and partnering with businesses to install charging stations at their locations. The goal of EVgo is to provide essential infrastructure that supports the increasing number of electric vehicles on the road, ensuring high reliability and convenience for its users.
