EVgo, Delta Electronics to develop next-gen charging architecture
Published on: Oct 10, 2024
The partnership aims to improve customer experience, enhance charger reliability, and drive cost efficiencies with advanced firmware and hardware design.
EVgo announced that it has entered into a new memorandum of understanding with longtime technology partner, Delta Electronics to jointly develop next-generation EV charging architecture.
This new charging architecture is designed to provide EVgo with more control over the full customer experience while bolstering reliability and delivering increased cost savings and enhanced energy efficiency. Under the agreement, both companies will expand their years-long collaboration to develop state-of-the-art fast chargers that will center on the customer experience.
This will include several design features ranging from advanced software, all-in-one power electronics, contactless payment interface, 400kW dispensers, and extended cable length.
“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,” said Dennis Kish, President of EVgo.
The new charging architecture will also include key features to enhance energy efficiency and power distribution across sites. Designed to align with battery advancements in coming years, the company’s new charging technology will allow dynamic power sharing across as many as six charging stalls at a time.
EVgo expects to complete final design and interoperability testing in its Innovation Lab and deploy these new chargers by the second half of 2026.
