Recently, EVgo announced the closure of a $1.25 billion guaranteed loan facility from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office.
This loan is part of the DOE’s Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program and is designed to support EVgo’s ambitious plans to expand its public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
The company aims to build 7,500 new fast charging stalls across the U.S., increasing its network to at least 10,000 stalls by 2029.
This expansion will more than triple EVgo’s network footprint, positioning it as a leader in supporting the country’s transportation electrification efforts.
Price Action: EVGO stock is down 22.5% at $4.898 premarket at last check Tuesday.
