EVgo shares jumped more than 27% in morning trading.

EVgo Inc., owner and operator of the nation’s largest public fast charging network for electric vehicles (EVs), and General Motors (GM) announced an expansion of their fast charging infrastructure build-out collaboration currently underway across the U.S. EVgo and GM previously announced a tripling of the EVgo network with plans to build 2,750 charging stalls through 2025.

EVgo Inc. today announced an expansion to its EV charging program for rideshare drivers on Uber’s platform. With nearly one million rideshare vehicles on the road, electrification of rideshare provides a significant opportunity to add high-utilization drivers to EVgo’s network. Featuring new discounts and benefits for all drivers using Uber, this expanded initiative builds upon the existing program's success to ultimately increase access to, and utilization of, EVgo’s network of over 800 public fast chargers -- helping both companies further accelerate the adoption of zero-emission transportation at scale.
