EVgo has opened its first EVgo Supercharger site, a 12-stall station near downtown Chicago. It is the first site from the deal EVgo signed with Tesla in August under Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program, and EVgo says it is the first dozen of hundreds of stalls planned in high-demand locations.
The stalls use Tesla’s Magic Dock, so both NACS cars (Teslas and newer EVs with the Tesla-style port) and CCS cars can plug in without carrying their own adapter. That is the main point for non-Tesla drivers: this is a Supercharger you can use with a CCS car as-is.
Where it is
According to EVwire, the station sits at Riverside Square & River’s Edge, the shopping center with the Mariano’s in Bridgeport, at 3145 South Ashland Ave in Chicago. EVgo’s release confirms it is at a grocery-anchored property owned by Regency Centers, a longtime EVgo partner, so you can shop or grab food while you charge.
The site is listed in the Tesla Trip Planner and in Tesla’s in-car navigation, per EVgo. Tesla owners who turn on third-party charging in the nav can also see other EVgo locations with NACS stalls, which started showing up in early September.
Power and price
EVwire reports up to 325 kW per stall at this site. That is below the up to 500 kW V4 hardware EVgo talked about when it announced the Tesla deal in August, so treat 500 kW as the ceiling for the program, not what you will see in Chicago today.
Pricing, also per EVwire, runs $0.25 to $0.35 per kWh depending on the time of day, and Tesla and non-Tesla drivers pay the same rate. EVgo’s own release does not list prices, so check the rate in the app or on the screen before you start a session. Under the deal, EVgo owns the stalls and sets the price, while Tesla builds and operates them.
For a rough sense of scale, a 30 kWh top-up would cost about $7.50 to $10.50 at those rates.
Why Chicago, and what comes next
EVgo points to Illinois EV registrations, which are up nearly 60% over the last two years, according to Illinois Secretary of State counts as of September 15, 2026.
Separately from the Superchargers, EVgo is adding NACS plugs to its own chargers. It expects 500 NACS stalls nationwide by the end of 2026, not counting Superchargers, and wants a NACS connector at every site built in 2023 or later within two years.
If you drive a CCS car around Chicago, this is now one more fast charger you can use without an adapter. For more on why charging speeds vary so much from car to car, see our 800-volt EV charging explainer.
