Subaru Enlists EVgo As Its Main Electric Vehicle Charging Network

Subaru has chosen Los Angeles-based EVgo as its preferred electric vehicle charging network provider in the U.S., signaling the Japanese automakerโ€™s continued move into the EV market.


The partnership arrives three months after Subaru rolled out its first all-electric vehicle, the 2023 Solterra SUV, at Novemberโ€™s Los Angeles Auto Show. Solterra drivers will have access to the EVgo network, which includes more than 800 public fast-charging locations in 35 states, as well as more than 46,000 public chargers through EVgoโ€™s โ€œroaming partnersโ€ across the U.S.

EVgo, which opened a 4,000-square-foot โ€œinnovation labโ€ in El Segundo last year, operates one of the broadest EV charging networks in the country. The company claims that more than 130 million Americans, and 80% of Californians, live within 10 miles of an EVgo charger, which can charge electric vehicle batteries up to 80% in 15-to-45 minutes. EVgoโ€™s network is also powered by 100% renewable energy.

Subaru isnโ€™t the first carmaker that EVgo has partnered with. Last year, it teamed with General Motors to help the Detroit giant build out its nationwide EV charging networkโ€”part of GMโ€™s transition to an all-electric vehicle lineup by 2035.

In July, EVgo became a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq after merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
