EVgo Speeds Up EV Charging Network with Prefabricated Skids

By Jony Shekhawat | Published Date : December 17, 2025

EVgo speeds up EV charging rollout with modular prefabricated stations across multiple US states.

EVgo is moving faster in building its EV charging network in the US by using prefabricated charging skids. In 2025, more than 40 per cent of EVgo’s new fast-charging stations have been installed using this modular system. The company says this method has helped cut installation time and also reduced average station costs by around 15 per cent, making expansion easier and quicker.

Under this model, all major charging parts are assembled inside a factory instead of at the roadside. Chargers, electrical systems, and other equipment are fixed onto a single base frame made from American steel and aluminium. Once ready, the full unit is transported to the site and installed. This reduces on-site work and avoids delays caused by weather or local construction issues. The same charging setup can support cars, electric truck fleets, electric buses and even electric mini truck operations that need fast charging.

Partnership with Miller Electric

EVgo has teamed up with Miller Electric, a Florida-based company that works on complex electrical projects. They started this prefabrication idea back in 2023. After that, Miller Electric increased work at its Jacksonville unit and today has more than 1,400 people working there. EVgo says this tie-up is helping build more charging stations and also creating local manufacturing jobs.

Lower Cost and Better Quality

According to EVgo, shifting most work to a controlled factory setting improves quality and consistency. Miller Electric also believes this method reduces errors that usually happen at construction sites. Because of this, EVgo has seen about a 15 per cent drop in average station installation cost. This is useful as charging demand is growing not just from passenger cars, but also from electric 3-wheeler operators, delivery fleets, and commercial electric truck users.

High-power Chargers with Extra Features

EVgo says all prefabricated stations deployed in 2025 use 350 kW DC fast chargers. Depending on the site layout, one station can charge up to 14 vehicles at the same time. These skids can also include lighting, Wi-Fi, security cameras, and canopies before delivery. This makes the stations suitable for busy locations where electric buses,  truck fleets, or electric 3-wheeler services need reliable charging.

Stations Already Live Across Many States

Prefabricated EVgo charging stations are already working in states such as California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nebraska, New York, and Texas. More stations are being prepared in North Carolina, Utah, and some other areas. EVgo believes this faster and cheaper rollout will help meet rising demand from all types of electric vehicles, from cars to electric trucks and electric bus operators.

With this approach, EVgo is trying to scale its network quickly while keeping costs under control and supporting the growing EV ecosystem across the country.

Frequently Asked Questions on Commercial Vehicles

Q1. What are electric commercial vehicles?

Ans. Electric commercial vehicles are trucks, buses, and vans powered by electricity instead of petrol or diesel, used for goods transport or passenger services.

Q2. Are electric trucks cheaper to operate than diesel trucks?

Ans. Yes, electric trucks usually have lower running costs because electricity is cheaper than diesel and they require less maintenance.

Q3. Can electric buses travel long distances on a single charge?

Ans. Most modern electric buses can travel 150–300 km on one full charge, depending on battery size, route, and load.

Q4. Do electric commercial vehicles need special charging stations?

Ans. Yes, heavy electric trucks and buses need high-power DC fast chargers, while smaller electric 3-wheelers or mini trucks can use regular AC chargers.
