EVgo opens its 800th fast charging location in March 2020

[Billyk24]

This link: https://www.cspdailynews.com/fuels/evgo-opens-its-800th-fast-charging-location There are a number of 50Kw CCS and CHAdeMO combo charging stations in Southwestern Pa. I can not tell how many 150kW charging stations they have. Claim to have started the network in 2019. EVgo is located in 34 states.

If you go into their map and click on individual stations, it shows the power level. Looks like in the Pittsburg area, they're mostly at Dunkin Donuts locations. All I see is 50 kW max. And it appears they may have a 45 minute max. Not sufficient for road trip fill-ups but might work for a 30-40% top-off if you find yourself running low one day.

Besides being 50kW, the other shortcoming with EVGo is that while they have a lot of sites/stations, they're generally composed of just 1-2 pedestals.

Transport Evolved did an informative interview with EVGo's CEO at CES where he discusses both the power and pedestal numbers and the future of the network.

2:31 - number of chargers per station
4:56 - power increases in charging equipment

Touched about the need for liquid cooled cables to run higher charging levels, limits to what the charging station can provide based upon the "network feed/transmformer".
