EV charging network operator EVgo surpassed 5,000 DC fast charging ports, reaching 5,015 as reported by the Alternative Fuels Data Center on February 15, 2026, a total that includes EVgo chargers and third party chargers run under its network.
The AFDC data shows EVgo added more than 1,000 ports in under 14 months, an increase of about 26 percent compared with almost 4,000 ports at the start of 2025, while EVgo reported operating 4,590 stalls at the end of the third quarter of 2025.
EVgo’s footprint included 1,222 locations according to the AFDC, 80 more than at the beginning of 2025, a pattern that suggests the company is adding more chargers per site rather than expanding sites rapidly.
The AFDC records also show EVgo has deployed over 1,000 stalls in partnership with General Motors and Pilot, and 98 ports using the NACS connector so far, with plans to expand NACS deployment to more than 500 stalls in 2026.
EVgo is targeting more than 15,000 stalls by the end of 2029, and the company expects a next generation distributed charging system built with Delta Electronics to reach the market in late 2026, a step the company sees as central to its planned acceleration.
Market Outlook For Charging Management Software
A market report on EV charging management software platforms projects rapid growth, valuing the market at USD 2.39 billion in 2025 and forecasting USD 36.07 billion by 2035, based on a compound annual growth rate of 31.3 percent for 2026 to 2035.
The report breaks the market into charger types, deployment modes, modules, and applications, noting Level 2 chargers held the largest share in 2025 due to their balance of speed and manageable infrastructure requirements for homes, offices, and public locations.
Operation management led the software modules in 2025, the report finds, driven by features such as remote control, diagnostics, predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, and real time monitoring that help maximize station uptime and efficiency.
The report identifies drivers including rising electric vehicle sales, government initiatives to reduce pollution, growing investment in charging infrastructure, and the adoption of AI and IoT enabled smart energy management systems to reduce grid strain and operating costs.
It also flags barriers like high initial costs for integration and infrastructure, cybersecurity concerns for connected chargers, and interoperability challenges across hardware and software ecosystems, while listing leading players including Ampeco Ltd, EVBox, ChargePoint, Virta, Shell, Evconnect, Chargelab, Etrel, Driivz, and Touch GmbH.
The report cites North America as the 2025 market leader, attributing that position to strict emissions rules, government programs, and coordinated efforts among governments, automakers, and technology firms to scale centralized management systems for fleets and public transport.
