You will hear an automated message advising that your hand is raised. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Heather Davis, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Good morning, welcome to EVgo's first quarter 2026 earnings call. My name is Heather Davis, and I am the Vice President of Investor Relations at EVgo. Joining me on today's call are Badar Khan, EVgo's Chief Executive Officer, and Keefer Lehner, EVgo's Chief Financial Officer. Today, we will be discussing EVgo's first quarter 2026 financial results and our outlook for the year, followed by a Q&A session. Today's call is being webcast and can be accessed on the investor section of our website at investors.evgo.com. The call will be archived and available there along with the company's earnings release and investor presentation after the conclusion of this call. During the call, management will be making forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including expectations about future performance. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are detailed in our SEC filings, including in the Risk Factors section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The company's SEC filings are available on the investor section of our website. These forward-looking statements apply as of today, and we undertake no obligation to update these statements after the call. Also, please note that we will be referring to certain non-GAAP financial measures on this call. Information about these non-GAAP measures, including definitions and applicable reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures, can be found in the earnings materials available on the investor section of our website. With that, I'll turn the call over to Badar Khan, EVgo's CEO. Thank you, Heather. EVgo's first quarter was in line with our expectations. We delivered solid results headlined by record first quarter revenues of $110 million, a 45% year-over-year increase. Increased revenues were largely driven by the continued growth of our operating network eXtend and two new contracts of dedicated AV hubs locations. Throughput on our public network increased to 91 GWh in the quarter. Stalls in operation across the EVgo network were 5,280, with over 200 new stalls added in Q1. Adjusted EBITDA was a $-7 million in the quarter as we continue to invest in the long-term growth of the business by expanding our operations and deployment teams and our next generation charging architecture. We ended the quarter with a healthy balance sheet with $150 million in cash. We continue to make great progress on our next generation charging architecture that we expect to start rolling out to the field by the end of the year. This will not only deliver improved reliability and an enhanced customer experience, but is also expected to lower CapEx per stall and will further underpin our long-term unit economics that we believe will result in recurring adjusted EBITDA generation at the $500,000,000 level by 2030. We've achieved some noteworthy milestones on the next gen architecture, including completion of the first system build of the power cabinet and dispenser, successful vehicle charging with EVgo-developed controllers and firmware, and the start of long-term reliability testing. EVgo has excellent partnerships with rideshare companies, who we believe partner with us in part because of our enormous scale advantage versus the dozens of smaller operators and because of the value their drivers get on the EVgo network. Rideshare drivers are already around the quarter of our network super. We continue to deepen our partnership with Uber, where we are working towards finalization of an agreement where they guarantee a minimum level of utilization that incentivizes us to build more and larger charging stations in key urban metros. This would not only meet rising demand from the segment but further accelerate the electrification of rideshare. We have excellent relationships with our site host partners, from grocery stores to retail stores. This quarter, we had a record number of new stalls signed under long-term leases, around 3x the same quarter last year, most of which will come online nine to 12 months after signing. This level of site lease signings is an indication of the value our site partners believe EVgo brings and their confidence in our ability to deliver fast-charging stalls as we continue ramping up stall deployments. We have over 100 stalls operational with NACS connectors and continue to target having over 500 NACS stalls available across the network by the end of the year at approximately 15% of our sites. Strategically, by deploying NACS connectors across our network, we are effectively more than doubling our addressable market where drivers with cars with NACS inlets can charge without an adapter. Importantly, we've agreed an amendment to our loan with the DOE Office of Energy Dominance Financing with the current administration, which we believe increases certainty and reduces complexity of go-forward draws and further enhances our already strong liquidity profile. DOE's loan program has historically been designed as a bridge to commercial financability. In the case of EVgo, this is exactly what happened. Less than a year after closing the DOE loan, we closed our commercial bank financing of up to $300 million. The combination of the amended DOE loan and commercial bank facility gives EVgo the capital it needs to deliver on our previously communicated build targets. EVgo successfully drew under the loan 3x in 2025. This amendment is a reflection of two things. First, the success we've had in securing additional private market funding, an acknowledgment that additional debt capital is available to EVgo in the commercial markets. Secondly, it reflects the current administration's view of the importance of this essential infrastructure build-out across the U.S. Our fast charging infrastructure is performing well and better than originally modeled when the loan was underwritten. Much of the loan remains the same, and I'll highlight a few key updates. The size of the loan has been updated to $750 million, which includes $625 million in borrowings and up to $125 million in capitalized interest. EVgo can draw up to 80% of total eligible project costs. However, because the loan is currently over-collateralized, we can draw up to 95% of eligible project costs on an incremental basis until total leverage hits the 65% loan-to-value ratio. A redundant construction risk-related reserve account of $35 million is eliminated because debt funding occurs after store completion, which reduces restricted cash for EVgo, further improving our liquidity profile. On May 1, EVgo received our next advance of $81 million, bringing our cash balance on May 1st to $223 million. Other key terms remain the same as the original agreement. The availability period remains five years, with a term of 17 years. The interest rate of the loan remains very attractive at Treasury plus approximately 1.2%, and we're able to request advances quarterly. We already have the strongest balance sheet we've had in many years, and these changes result in even more free cash available to be reinvested into the business. EVgo has ample liquidity with the DOE loan and our commercial facility, and as of May 1st, we currently have up to $640 million available principal capacity on our two credit facilities, inclusive of the incremental availability. Between the DOE loan and our commercial credit facility and reinvestment of profits, we expect to have 12,500-13,900 EVgo public stalls by the end of 2029, which is unchanged from our previously stated build targets. Given the strong recurring and high-margin cash flows being generated from our charging infrastructure, we believe, and the market has acknowledged, that this is an infrastructure asset class that should be levered. We will continue to explore other non-dilutive financing, all while maintaining a healthy balance sheet to reduce our cost of capital to even lower levels or allow us to grow faster or both. We believe the long-term growth outlook for EVgo remains very attractive. Projections for 2030 EV VIO are near 16 million, representing a 20% CAGR. Recent volatility in the oil market makes the ongoing TCO for EVs even more compelling for American drivers. Sales of new EVs in Q1 are rebounding from the Q4 lows and are expected to accelerate throughout the year, adding to VIO. The market for used EVs has been very strong, and we can see that over the past few quarters, quarterly sales of used EVs has approached the 100,000 units level, with Q1 just under half the level of new BEV sales. Q1 used EV sales have more than doubled versus three years ago and are projected to continue to accelerate going forward. Drivers of used EVs are often customers of public charging networks. This is because used car buyers are more likely to live in multifamily housing, and multifamily residents tend to charge more frequently on public networks. As a result, we expect to see the serviceable addressable market for public fast charging to increase faster than overall VIO growth, with growth in public fast charging remaining more resilient compared to growth in the overall EV market. Prices for used EVs have nearly reached parity with their ICE counterparts. Given the surge in EV leases following the passage of the IRA, approximately 1.5 million leases are expected to expire between 2026 and 2028, resulting in a significant number of these cars switching hands from their original owner to an owner that is more likely to utilize public fast charging. As a reference, there's no reason why the battery electric vehicle market over time will not resemble the broader automotive market, where the vast majority of all cars on the road are used. This is a significant tailwind for the business, as it was not long ago that a secondary market for EVs did not exist. Not only do we see enormous growth in overall BEV VIO, but we expect that the average car will be charging more, both of which result in a favorable long-term outlook for EVgo. Now I'll turn it over to Keefer to share more details on the quarter and EVgo's 2026 outlook. Thank you, Badar. We ended Q1 with 5,280 stalls in operation, a more than 3x increase compared to the end of 2021. We added 200 new total stalls to the network in Q1 2026, including 100 new public EVgo-owned stalls. Our customer base continues to grow, and we look forward to welcoming more native NACS drivers to our network as we deploy more sites in 2026 with NACS connectors. Total energy dispensed on EVgo's network was 373 GWh for the trailing 12 months, a 21% increase from the TTM period ended Q1 2025. Charging gross margin was 39% over the last 12 months, expanding by 2 percentage points over the prior-year's TTM. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 3% on a trailing 12 month basis as we get closer to the operational inflection point where charging network gross profit alone is expected to cover all of our G&A costs. Our throughput on the public network during the first quarter was 91 GWh, a 10% increase compared to last year. Throughput per stall per day was 257 KWh in the quarter. Q1 2026 throughput was impacted by the ongoing maturation of the record high number of new stalls deployed in Q4 2025, as we elected to select sites with slightly lower throughput potential in order to capture a higher amount of state grant funding, as expected lifetime economics were attractive. It was also driven by lower usage of our legacy equipment, several severe winter storms, as well as seasonally lower vehicle miles traveled. Revenue for Q1 2026 was $110 million, which represents a 45% year-over-year increase, with growth across all three revenue categories. Total charging network revenue was $56 million, an 18% increase versus prior-year, driven primarily by a larger operating network, representing our 17th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year charging revenue growth. Extend revenue was $33 million, delivering growth of 41% over the same period in 2025, driven by an increase in construction revenues and equipment sales. AV and ancillary revenue was $21 million, up over 300%, driven by gain on sale for two dedicated AV hubs locations. It's important to note that almost half of the anticipated 2026 AV ancillary revenue was recognized in the first quarter. Charging network gross profit was $20 million, a 15% increase compared to the prior-year. Charging network gross margin was 36%, a percentage point lower than last year. First quarter adjusted gross profit was $30 million, up 17% against the prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 27% in Q1, a decrease of 660 basis points over the same period in 2025, driven primarily by higher non-charging revenue contribution. Adjusted G&A for the quarter was $37 million, an increase of 19% compared to prior year, as we are investing in network scale and accelerating stall deployment. As a percentage of revenue, the first quarter of 2026 was 34%, compared to 42% in the first quarter of 2025. The above results in an adjusted EBITDA loss of $7 million in the first quarter of 2026. Turning to our outlook and guidance for 2026. Our new stall guidance remains unchanged from last quarter, with 1,400-1,650 new stalls expected to be added over the year, including 350-400 eXtend stalls, approximately 100 of which were deployed in Q1. The growth in public stalls deployed is expected to be around 70% year-over-year, and the vast majority of the 2026 public build plan is expected to be deployed in the back half of the year, with a significant weighting towards Q4. We are reaffirming our recently provided 2026 total revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $410 million-$470 million and $-20 million to $+20 million, respectively. Charging network revenue should be around 70% of 2026 total revenue. Charging revenue is expected to increase each quarter sequentially and on a year-over-year basis. At the midpoint, charging network revenue are expected to be up 40%. Extend revenue for 2026 is expected to be $80 million-$90 million. AV and ancillary revenues are anticipated to be $40 million-$50 million for full-year 2026, with just under half that amount realized in Q1. Adjusted G&A for the year is still anticipated to be $150 million-$155 million as we continue to invest in our scale and deployment of new chargers. Q1 and Q4 are expected to be the strongest quarters for the non-charging business, Extend and AV and ancillary, representing approximately 75% of our non-charging revenues. As a result, we expect Q2 to be our softest quarter of the year, with revenue and margins leading to an estimated Q2 revenue of $75 million-$85 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.5 million-$7.5 million. We expect modest sequential improvement into Q3. Q4 is expected to be our strongest quarter of the year by a wide margin. We should drive improved incremental margins and sustainable profitability on a go-forward basis. With that, we will open the call to Q&A. Certainly. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile our Q&A roster. Our first question will come from the line of Chris Dendrinos of RBC Capital Markets. Your line is open, Chris. Good morning. Thank you. You know, maybe to start out here, I'm just kind of looking at the charging network performance, and, you know, two things stand out. I think you kind of talked through a little bit of the dynamics around the lower throughput this quarter, you know, maybe talk to the cadence of that increase going through the rest of the year. Then separately, just on the margin performance in that segment as well, you know, are you seeing some of the, I guess, call it leverage or operational leverage points that you're kind of expecting to see in the longer term outlook? Thanks. Hey, Chris. Let me just touch on the first point and just to kind of reemphasize. For the quarter, daily throughput per stall, it's about 3.5% lower than last year, and that's really driven by three, four things, none of which really are long-term issues. As we said on the last earnings call, we did have more severe winter storms this quarter than we saw in the same quarter last year. We also had a record number of stalls deployed in Q4 that, you know, they always take, new branding stalls usually take 3-6 months to ramp up. So that's a little higher impact this quarter than prior quarters just because of the record deployment we had in Q4. We also mentioned a couple times last year that, you know, many of these Q4 deployments in 2025 came with much higher CapEx offsets, which is obviously great from a returns perspective, but they also come with lower productivity in throughput for the first year or two. That's really what we're seeing. One additional thing that we're calling out here is that we are seeing lower throughput from our legacy 50 and 100 KW stalls, especially as we're actually putting in a whole bunch of faster 350s across the network. I think the good news is that today, if you want about almost 65% of our throughput is already 350 KW machines. That's up from kind of low 20% range three years ago, you know, we'll be in the 95% range by 2030. In the long term, the performance of the kinda sub 350s just becomes immaterial. I'd say none of these factors really are issues in the long term. For the full-year, we do expect daily throughput per stall to grow versus last year at the bottom end of guidance to the kinda mid-single-digit percentage range to high teens in percentage range growth over 25, top end of guidance. That hasn't changed since the last quarter. Keefer, do you wanna just address the margin? Yeah, to follow up on the second part of your question, we did experience, you know, slightly lower charging network gross margin in Q1. It was down 1 percentage point on a year-over-year basis. You know, we did have higher ASP in Q1. It came in right around $0.61 on a fully loaded basis, which was offset by increased both energy costs and SaaS and NIC costs given some of the noise we experienced in the quarter. We don't see that as kind of a structural or long-term shift in cost structure. Last quarter, we did provide long-term outlook of a 50%-60% CAGR for gross network or gross margin at the charging network level. We wouldn't really expect that to be changing, as we look out to the future. Got it. Thank you. Maybe just as a follow-up, you know, on the NACS deployment, you know, I think previously you kind of spoke to slightly lower charging rates on that segment of the market initially. Are you still kind of seeing that or is adoption on the NACS portion of the network increasing? Thanks. Chris, it's, you know, we, let me just take a very quick step back with NACS. We're really very excited about deploying NACS stalls across the network because effectively we double our addressable market for people choosing to charge their vehicles without an adapter, which is the majority of people. I said last quarter that we deployed NACS some like a little pilot of 100 stalls, you know, in the kind of the fall of last year. Since then, we've seen throughput on those NACS stalls rise. That's continued to rise since we talked about this last quarter, we still remain very excited about the deployment of NACS stalls. They are still below the level of throughput that we see in our CCS stalls. As I said last time and saying again this time, it does take customers who have not been used to charging in our network to become familiar with our network and to charge if they've got these NACS cables. Tesla drivers continue to charge at a higher rate, you know, every month. We're very excited. We're very much intending to continue with the rollout of these NACS cables. We'll look to do about 400 more to get to around 500. That'll be about 15% of our sites. That'll be pretty broadly spread between Q2, Q3, and Q4. We do expect that within maybe two or three years for all of our sites to have both NACS and CCS cables, and that's the point where I-I look at the addressable market having doubled. Hopefully that answers that question. Yeah. Thank you very much. Yeah. Our next question will come from Andres Sheppard of Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open. Hey, guys. This is Anand on for Andres. Congrats on the quarter, and thanks for taking our question. I wanted to touch on a little bit of the AV charging. With, you know, Uber partnering with a variety of OEMs for AVs, we noticed you were named as a partner as well. We were wondering maybe if you could give us some granularity on what you expect from charging demand for yourselves on these front from the AVs. Yeah. Hey, Anand. Yeah, look, I think that the sort of autonomous vehicle space, I remain of the view that it is a very interesting and potentially very significant source of upside to the forecasts that we had put out previously. I think if the AV space grows as pretty many people are expecting. We've been operating dedicated sites for autonomous vehicle partners for a number of years. We talked about it in the last quarter, last call. We have separated out the number of dedicated hubs, stalls that are dedicated hubs for AV partners for over a year now. We expect that we'll add another 50-75 stalls. We did get a little gain on sale from some of the stalls that we went operational in the last quarter in Q1. I will say it's still You know, we're still in the infancy of a potentially huge market opportunity. We're evaluating the best contract structures. As you know, the contract structures that we have today are really long-term contracted cash flow, which represents, you know, kind of good margin with not a lot of risk for us. As this grows, you know, we'll be looking at different contract structures that make sense for both ourselves and the AV partners or maybe also continue with what we have today. I do expect that over the long term or midterm or long term, just as we've seen with rideshare, where really I think EVgo has become the partner of choice for rideshare companies. I do expect that there's really no reason why we wouldn't become the partner of choice for AV companies, just given our scale, the balance sheet, our emphasis on reliability, and so on. Gotcha. I appreciate the detail. Maybe as a quick follow-up with respect to the DOE loan amendment, you talked about this for quite a bit on the call. You guys eliminated the cash trap, received an $81 million draw on May first. Maybe can you walk us through how that amendment changes your practical liquidity, maybe the timing of your draws and ability to fund the accelerated owned and operated build-out? Yeah. Look, Anand, I mean, just a comment here. I'm really pleased with where we are with this loan with the DOE. If you compared us to where we were a year ago, so today versus last year, this time last year, it's really just quite a change. A year ago, we had $170 million cash in the balance sheet as of Q1, and we had a billion-dollar loan with the prior administration that was largely undrawn. You know, I would get questions on these calls about whether the current administration supported it, even though the performance was very strong. A year later, we have an agreement that's signed with the current administration. We continue to have a great, productive, collaborative relationship. It's now been drawn on 4 times. The principal is reduced by $425 million, but, you know, we've since last year, we've also got a commercial bank facility for up to $300 million. I think more importantly, we've demonstrated the bankability of the company with this continuous inbounds from people interested in financing the business. I think because it's a new asset class and maybe also because we're probably the only ones in the asset class that's actually financeable. Today, as of May 1st, we've turned $23 million in cash, including the $81 million that we received last week, with up to $640 million of remaining capacity between these first two facilities. That means we have enormous runway to continue to build out this infrastructure really to a point where we're generating, you know, adjusted EBITDA in the hundreds of millions. I think as you say, in the short term, you know, some of these amended terms, you know, result in better liquidity to really an already very strong liquidity profile. I'm really quite thrilled with where we are today. In terms of your question around deploying capital, we just received $81 million from the DOE. We've got a very strong balance sheet today. We will be disciplined in our approach to capital allocation with timing of advances just driven by balance sheet needs, which, you know, you can see is quite strong. I think one of the great attributes of this loan is that there's no time limit on when we request advances other than the five year availability period. Between that, the commercial bank facility, the fact that we're able to advance at a higher rate. If you translate, if you kind of work out that math, it's about another $20,000 per stall that we're able to advance versus what we had before. You know, this is sort of, there's really no concerns that we have at all about financing the build program we previously discussed or near-term liquidity. Gotcha. Thanks again for all the color, Badar. Great to see the progress. I'll pass it on. Thanks, Anand. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one one on your touch-tone telephone and wait for your name to be announced. Our next question will be coming from the line of Chris Pierce of Needham. Your line is open, Chris. Hey, good morning, everyone. Badar, I just want to get a sense. You know, you highlighted used EVs in the deck, and you spoke about it on the call a little bit. Is there something specific you need to do to market towards these people and/or is this sort of just a sweet spot of customers that are potentially gonna be using the network? Have you seen anything, or is it too early to sort of see a ramp in new customers from these new EV owners that are buying used EVs? Look, you know, I think that there's a few things in here in terms of marketing to these customers. You know, we have the same or more charging sessions on our network than everybody else in the industry combined, with the exception of Tesla and Electrify America. The reason for that is that we've really spent a lot of time building, you know, a very productive customer engagement sort of platform. We've got the ability to identify drivers of electric, battery electric vehicles. We know how to reach out to them. I've mentioned before in previous calls that we've been deploying AI agents that are increasing our level of sophistication in how we reach out to customers, and that's why we've got such phenomenal engagement and demand on our network versus, you know, pretty much almost everybody else in the space. In terms of used electric vehicle drivers versus new EV drivers, there's no distinction. We will deploy the same methodology that's delivered such great success for us for used EV drivers as new EV drivers. I think what's really interesting that I'm really pointing out here and I is that, you know, for us it's not just about the growth in battery electric vehicles, used VIO that drives the business. It is expected to grow. It has grown four fold. It'll likely grow another 2.5 to threefold over the next five years. I do think these 2030 forecasts swing like a pendulum. They were, you know, the 2030 forecast was 30 million vehicles three years ago. Today it's, you know, 15 or 16. What's important for us is how many of those vehicles are charging at public fast charging. Rideshare electrifying means they'll charge more at public fast charging. Charge rates mean they'll charge more at public fast charging. As vehicles go from new to used, they'll charge more at public fast charging. What we're seeing is that used vehicle, used EV owners tend to live in multi-family housing. From our own data, we can see that drivers, who live in multi-family housing charge 1.5x more than drivers who live in single-family housing. I'm really quite excited by this. There's probably around 1 million used EVs out of the roughly 6 million today. With all of these leases rolling off post the IRA, you know, we're looking at maybe up to about 3 million used EVs at a total EV VIO three years from now, which is probably 25%-30%. If you look at that, the market, there's no reason why the EV market won't resemble the broader market where the vast majority of cars are used. I think that represents just another tailwind that I think it's worth bringing out when we think about our long-term growth prospects. Okay. Perfect. Thank you for the details. Just one, I mean, I think complexity is the wrong word, but if you look at the model, you've got the core charging business, then you've had the eXtend business, which was sort of in the end, sort of, kinda we're in the later innings of that rolling off so investors can focus on the charging model. If we think about the AV line and the ancillary line, is there a way to kind of know what that's gonna look like? Could that be a construction business similar to eXtend and then you have gain on sale when you flip it back to the end user? Like, I just want to understand as AV grows, will we get to a point where that sort of becomes a new eXtend and you've got to sort of guide in different pieces? Like, when can charging revenue be just the story and a little cleaner for new investors looking at the model? Yeah. Well, look, if I just pick that apart, You're right, the eXtend business has been a very valuable source of revenue for the last couple of years and will be for this year too, and for a portion of 2027. At some time in 2027, the eXtend, the majority of the revenue from eXtend will sort of drop off. It'll become O&M, which is quite a bit smaller. Charging revenue, I think Keefer Lehner said it, we've had the 17th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. We will continue to see the charging revenue, the charging network just continue to grow, you know, quarter-over-quarter, over the next several years. I think this AV piece is really interesting because as you know, Chris, and I think many people have commented, there's a significant amount of capital that needs to get deployed to build out this autonomous vehicle opportunity from the vehicles themselves, the technology in the sort of autonomous vehicle technology, whether it's lidar or elsewhere. For rideshare, it'll be the capital required for the technology stack. As well as, you know, fleet operations, capital required for charging. You know, our perspective is that that's a ton of capital required to get deployed. We have the capital available for a piece of that, which is the charging infrastructure. We're quite excited about it because we're such a large player doing this sort of charging infrastructure. We, the contracts that we've signed to date are these long-term contracts that have contracted cash flow. We're generating, you know, $1 per stall per month, if you will. That doesn't have to be the contract structure for this space going forward. You know, we're quite excited by it because these are likely to be very heavily utilized vehicles that will have very strong demand on our network. You know, I think that I would be open to exposure to utilization and throughput from this space. It may look like a look a little more like our regular charging business as opposed to, as you're saying, a construction business like eXtend. We're in the early innings of this. As you can see, we've built a very strong competitive advantage with rideshare, where we're really the kind of partner of choice for rideshare companies. I see no reason why we wouldn't be a partner of choice for the AV companies, many of whom we've been working with for years already. Okay. Thank you, and good luck. Yeah. I would now like to turn the conference back to Badar Khan for closing remarks. Great. Well, thank you everyone. EVgo had yet another strong and record quarter. We're expecting 2026 to be an inflection year with around 70% growth in new public stalls added, supported by strong site host and rideshare partnerships. We continue to see a very strong, long-term growth outlook, and we're pleased to have reached an amended agreement with the DOE allowing us to scale the company to that half a billion dollars or more in Adjusted EBITDA by 2030. I look forward to sharing our progress with you on our future calls. Thanks very much, everyone. And this concludes today's program. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.

Speaker 2: Thank you, Heather. EVgo's first quarter was in line with our expectations. We delivered solid results headlined by record first quarter revenues of $110 million, a 45% year-over-year increase. Increased revenues were largely driven by the continued growth of our operating network eXtend and two new contracts of dedicated AV hubs locations. Throughput on our public network increased to 91 GWh in the quarter. Stalls in operation across the EVgo network were 5,280, with over 200 new stalls added in Q1. Adjusted EBITDA was a $-7 million in the quarter as we continue to invest in the long-term growth of the business by expanding our operations and deployment teams and our next generation charging architecture. We ended the quarter with a healthy balance sheet with $150 million in cash.

This will not only deliver improved reliability and an enhanced customer experience, but is also expected to lower CapEx per stall and will further underpin our long-term unit economics that we believe will result in recurring adjusted EBITDA generation at the $500,000,000 level by 2030. We've achieved some noteworthy milestones on the next gen architecture, including completion of the first system build of the power cabinet and dispenser, successful vehicle charging with EVgo-developed controllers and firmware, and the start of long-term reliability testing.

Rideshare drivers are already around the quarter of our network super. We continue to deepen our partnership with Uber, where we are working towards finalization of an agreement where they guarantee a minimum level of utilization that incentivizes us to build more and larger charging stations in key urban metros. This would not only meet rising demand from the segment but further accelerate the electrification of rideshare.

This level of site lease signings is an indication of the value our site partners believe EVgo brings and their confidence in our ability to deliver fast-charging stalls as we continue ramping up stall deployments. We have over 100 stalls operational with NACS connectors and continue to target having over 500 NACS stalls available across the network by the end of the year at approximately 15% of our sites.

Importantly, we've agreed an amendment to our loan with the DOE Office of Energy Dominance Financing with the current administration, which we believe increases certainty and reduces complexity of go-forward draws and further enhances our already strong liquidity profile. DOE's loan program has historically been designed as a bridge to commercial financability. In the case of EVgo, this is exactly what happened. Less than a year after closing the DOE loan, we closed our commercial bank financing of up to $300 million. The combination of the amended DOE loan and commercial bank facility gives EVgo the capital it needs to deliver on our previously communicated build targets.

This amendment is a reflection of two things. First, the success we've had in securing additional private market funding, an acknowledgment that additional debt capital is available to EVgo in the commercial markets. Secondly, it reflects the current administration's view of the importance of this essential infrastructure build-out across the U.S. Our fast charging infrastructure is performing well and better than originally modeled when the loan was underwritten. Much of the loan remains the same, and I'll highlight a few key updates. The size of the loan has been updated to $750 million, which includes $625 million in borrowings and up to $125 million in capitalized interest. EVgo can draw up to 80% of total eligible project costs.

A redundant construction risk-related reserve account of $35 million is eliminated because debt funding occurs after store completion, which reduces restricted cash for EVgo, further improving our liquidity profile. On May 1, EVgo received our next advance of $81 million, bringing our cash balance on May 1st to $223 million. Other key terms remain the same as the original agreement. The availability period remains five years, with a term of 17 years. The interest rate of the loan remains very attractive at Treasury plus approximately 1.2%, and we're able to request advances quarterly.

EVgo has ample liquidity with the DOE loan and our commercial facility, and as of May 1st, we currently have up to $640 million available principal capacity on our two credit facilities, inclusive of the incremental availability. Between the DOE loan and our commercial credit facility and reinvestment of profits, we expect to have 12,500-13,900 EVgo public stalls by the end of 2029, which is unchanged from our previously stated build targets. Given the strong recurring and high-margin cash flows being generated from our charging infrastructure, we believe, and the market has acknowledged, that this is an infrastructure asset class that should be levered. We already have the strongest balance sheet we've had in many years, and these changes result in even more free cash available to be reinvested into the business. we already have the strongest balance sheet we've had in many years and these changes result in even more free cash available to be reinvested into the business EVgo has ample liquidity with the DOE loan and our commercial facility, and as of May 1st, we currently have up to $640 million available principal capacity on our two credit facilities, inclusive of the incremental availability. evgo has ample liquidity with the doe loan and our commercial facility and as of may 1st we currently have up to $640 million available principal capacity on our two credit facilities inclusive of the incremental availability Between the DOE loan and our commercial credit facility and reinvestment of profits, we expect to have 12,500-13,900 EVgo public stalls by the end of 2029, which is unchanged from our previously stated build targets. between the doe loan and our commercial credit facility and reinvestment of profits we expect to have 12,500-13,900 evgo public stalls by the end of 2029 which is unchanged from our previously stated build targets Given the strong recurring and high-margin cash flows being generated from our charging infrastructure, we believe, and the market has acknowledged, that this is an infrastructure asset class that should be levered. given the strong recurring and high-margin cash flows being generated from our charging infrastructure we believe and the market has acknowledged that this is an infrastructure asset class that should be levered We will continue to explore other non-dilutive financing, all while maintaining a healthy balance sheet to reduce our cost of capital to even lower levels or allow us to grow faster or both. We believe the long-term growth outlook for EVgo remains very attractive. Projections for 2030 EV VIO are near 16 million, representing a 20% CAGR. Recent volatility in the oil market makes the ongoing TCO for EVs even more compelling for American drivers. Sales of new EVs in Q1 are rebounding from the Q4 lows and are expected to accelerate throughout the year, adding to VIO. The market for used EVs has been very strong, and we can see that over the past few quarters, quarterly sales of used EVs has approached the 100,000 units level, with Q1 just under half the level of new BEV sales. We will continue to explore other non-dilutive financing, all while maintaining a healthy balance sheet to reduce our cost of capital to even lower levels or allow us to grow faster or both. we will continue to explore other non-dilutive financing all while maintaining a healthy balance sheet to reduce our cost of capital to even lower levels or allow us to grow faster or both We believe the long-term growth outlook for EVgo remains very attractive. we believe the long-term growth outlook for evgo remains very attractive Projections for 2030 EV VIO are near 16 million, representing a 20% CAGR. projections for 2030 ev vio are near 16 million representing a 20% cagr Recent volatility in the oil market makes the ongoing TCO for EVs even more compelling for American drivers. recent volatility in the oil market makes the ongoing tco for evs even more compelling for american drivers Sales of new EVs in Q1 are rebounding from the Q4 lows and are expected to accelerate throughout the year, adding to VIO. sales of new evs in q1 are rebounding from the q4 lows and are expected to accelerate throughout the year adding to vio The market for used EVs has been very strong, and we can see that over the past few quarters, quarterly sales of used EVs has approached the 100,000 units level, with Q1 just under half the level of new BEV sales. the market for used evs has been very strong and we can see that over the past few quarters quarterly sales of used evs has approached the 100,000 units level with q1 just under half the level of new bev sales Q1 used EV sales have more than doubled versus three years ago and are projected to continue to accelerate going forward. Drivers of used EVs are often customers of public charging networks. This is because used car buyers are more likely to live in multifamily housing, and multifamily residents tend to charge more frequently on public networks. As a result, we expect to see the serviceable addressable market for public fast charging to increase faster than overall VIO growth, with growth in public fast charging remaining more resilient compared to growth in the overall EV market. Prices for used EVs have nearly reached parity with their ICE counterparts. Q1 used EV sales have more than doubled versus three years ago and are projected to continue to accelerate going forward. q1 used ev sales have more than doubled versus three years ago and are projected to continue to accelerate going forward Drivers of used EVs are often customers of public charging networks. drivers of used evs are often customers of public charging networks This is because used car buyers are more likely to live in multifamily housing, and multifamily residents tend to charge more frequently on public networks. this is because used car buyers are more likely to live in multifamily housing and multifamily residents tend to charge more frequently on public networks As a result, we expect to see the serviceable addressable market for public fast charging to increase faster than overall VIO growth, with growth in public fast charging remaining more resilient compared to growth in the overall EV market. as a result we expect to see the serviceable addressable market for public fast charging to increase faster than overall vio growth with growth in public fast charging remaining more resilient compared to growth in the overall ev market Prices for used EVs have nearly reached parity with their ICE counterparts. prices for used evs have nearly reached parity with their ice counterparts Given the surge in EV leases following the passage of the IRA, approximately 1.5 million leases are expected to expire between 2026 and 2028, resulting in a significant number of these cars switching hands from their original owner to an owner that is more likely to utilize public fast charging. As a reference, there's no reason why the battery electric vehicle market over time will not resemble the broader automotive market, where the vast majority of all cars on the road are used. This is a significant tailwind for the business, as it was not long ago that a secondary market for EVs did not exist. Not only do we see enormous growth in overall BEV VIO, but we expect that the average car will be charging more, both of which result in a favorable long-term outlook for EVgo.

Speaker 6: Thank you, Badar. We ended Q1 with 5,280 stalls in operation, a more than 3x increase compared to the end of 2021. We added 200 new total stalls to the network in Q1 2026, including 100 new public EVgo-owned stalls. Our customer base continues to grow, and we look forward to welcoming more native NACS drivers to our network as we deploy more sites in 2026 with NACS connectors. Total energy dispensed on EVgo's network was 373 GWh for the trailing 12 months, a 21% increase from the TTM period ended Q1 2025. Charging gross margin was 39% over the last 12 months, expanding by 2 percentage points over the prior-year's TTM.

Our throughput on the public network during the first quarter was 91 GWh, a 10% increase compared to last year. Throughput per stall per day was 257 KWh in the quarter. Q1 2026 throughput was impacted by the ongoing maturation of the record high number of new stalls deployed in Q4 2025, as we elected to select sites with slightly lower throughput potential in order to capture a higher amount of state grant funding, as expected lifetime economics were attractive. It was also driven by lower usage of our legacy equipment, several severe winter storms, as well as seasonally lower vehicle miles traveled. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 3% on a trailing 12 month basis as we get closer to the operational inflection point where charging network gross profit alone is expected to cover all of our G&A costs. adjusted ebitda margin improved to 3% on a trailing 12 month basis as we get closer to the operational inflection point where charging network gross profit alone is expected to cover all of our g&a costs Our throughput on the public network during the first quarter was 91 GWh , a 10% increase compared to last year. our throughput on the public network during the first quarter was 91 gwh a 10% increase compared to last year Throughput per stall per day was 257 KWh in the quarter. throughput per stall per day was 257 kwh in the quarter Q1 2026 throughput was impacted by the ongoing maturation of the record high number of new stalls deployed in Q4 2025, as we elected to select sites with slightly lower throughput potential in order to capture a higher amount of state grant funding, as expected lifetime economics were attractive. q1 2026 throughput was impacted by the ongoing maturation of the record high number of new stalls deployed in q4 2025 as we elected to select sites with slightly lower throughput potential in order to capture a higher amount of state grant funding as expected lifetime economics were attractive It was also driven by lower usage of our legacy equipment, several severe winter storms, as well as seasonally lower vehicle miles traveled. it was also driven by lower usage of our legacy equipment several severe winter storms as well as seasonally lower vehicle miles traveled Revenue for Q1 2026 was $110 million, which represents a 45% year-over-year increase, with growth across all three revenue categories. Total charging network revenue was $56 million, an 18% increase versus prior-year, driven primarily by a larger operating network, representing our 17th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year charging revenue growth. Extend revenue was $33 million, delivering growth of 41% over the same period in 2025, driven by an increase in construction revenues and equipment sales. AV and ancillary revenue was $21 million, up over 300%, driven by gain on sale for two dedicated AV hubs locations. It's important to note that almost half of the anticipated 2026 AV ancillary revenue was recognized in the first quarter. Charging network gross profit was $20 million, a 15% increase compared to the prior-year. Revenue for Q1 2026 was $110 million, which represents a 45% year-over-year increase, with growth across all three revenue categories. revenue for q1 2026 was $110 million which represents a 45% year-over-year increase with growth across all three revenue categories Total charging network revenue was $56 million, an 18% increase versus prior- year, driven primarily by a larger operating network, representing our 17th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year charging revenue growth. total charging network revenue was $56 million an 18% increase versus prior- year driven primarily by a larger operating network representing our 17th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year charging revenue growth Extend revenue was $33 million, delivering growth of 41% over the same period in 2025, driven by an increase in construction revenues and equipment sales. extend revenue was $33 million delivering growth of 41% over the same period in 2025 driven by an increase in construction revenues and equipment sales AV and ancillary revenue was $21 million, up over 300%, driven by gain on sale for two dedicated AV hubs locations. av and ancillary revenue was $21 million up over 300% driven by gain on sale for two dedicated av hubs locations It's important to note that almost half of the anticipated 2026 AV ancillary revenue was recognized in the first quarter. it's important to note that almost half of the anticipated 2026 av ancillary revenue was recognized in the first quarter Charging network gross profit was $20 million, a 15% increase compared to the prior- year. charging network gross profit was $20 million a 15% increase compared to the prior- year Charging network gross margin was 36%, a percentage point lower than last year. First quarter adjusted gross profit was $30 million, up 17% against the prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 27% in Q1, a decrease of 660 basis points over the same period in 2025, driven primarily by higher non-charging revenue contribution. Adjusted G&A for the quarter was $37 million, an increase of 19% compared to prior year, as we are investing in network scale and accelerating stall deployment. As a percentage of revenue, the first quarter of 2026 was 34%, compared to 42% in the first quarter of 2025. The above results in an adjusted EBITDA loss of $7 million in the first quarter of 2026. Turning to our outlook and guidance for 2026.

The growth in public stalls deployed is expected to be around 70% year-over-year, and the vast majority of the 2026 public build plan is expected to be deployed in the back half of the year, with a significant weighting towards Q4. We are reaffirming our recently provided 2026 total revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $410 million-$470 million and $-20 million to $+20 million, respectively. Charging network revenue should be around 70% of 2026 total revenue.

At the midpoint, charging network revenue are expected to be up 40%. Extend revenue for 2026 is expected to be $80 million-$90 million. AV and ancillary revenues are anticipated to be $40 million-$50 million for full-year 2026, with just under half that amount realized in Q1. Adjusted G&A for the year is still anticipated to be $150 million-$155 million as we continue to invest in our scale and deployment of new chargers.

Speaker 3: Good morning. Thank you. You know, maybe to start out here, I'm just kind of looking at the charging network performance, and, you know, two things stand out. I think you kind of talked through a little bit of the dynamics around the lower throughput this quarter, you know, maybe talk to the cadence of that increase going through the rest of the year. Then separately, just on the margin performance in that segment as well, you know, are you seeing some of the, I guess, call it leverage or operational leverage points that you're kind of expecting to see in the longer term outlook? Thanks. Good morning. good morning Thank you. thank you You know, maybe to start out here, I'm just kind of looking at the charging network performance, and, you know, two things stand out. you know maybe to start out here i'm just kind of looking at the charging network performance and you know two things stand out I think you kind of talked through a little bit of the dynamics around the lower throughput this quarter, you know, maybe talk to the cadence of that increase going through the rest of the year. i think you kind of talked through a little bit of the dynamics around the lower throughput this quarter you know maybe talk to the cadence of that increase going through the rest of the year Then separately, just on the margin performance in that segment as well, you know, are you seeing some of the, I guess, call it leverage or operational leverage points that you're kind of expecting to see in the longer term outlook? then separately just on the margin performance in that segment as well you know are you seeing some of the i guess call it leverage or operational leverage points that you're kind of expecting to see in the longer term outlook Thanks. thanks

Speaker 2: Hey, Chris. Let me just touch on the first point and just to kind of reemphasize. For the quarter, daily throughput per stall, it's about 3.5% lower than last year, and that's really driven by three, four things, none of which really are long-term issues. As we said on the last earnings call, we did have more severe winter storms this quarter than we saw in the same quarter last year. We also had a record number of stalls deployed in Q4 that, you know, they always take, new branding stalls usually take 3-6 months to ramp up. So that's a little higher impact this quarter than prior quarters just because of the record deployment we had in Q4. Hey, Chris. hey chris Let me just touch on the first point and just to kind of reemphasize. let me just touch on the first point and just to kind of reemphasize For the quarter, daily throughput per stall, it's about 3.5% lower than last year, and that's really driven by three, four things, none of which really are long-term issues. for the quarter daily throughput per stall it's about 3.5% lower than last year and that's really driven by three, four things none of which really are long-term issues As we said on the last earnings call, we did have more severe winter storms this quarter than we saw in the same quarter last year. as we said on the last earnings call we did have more severe winter storms this quarter than we saw in the same quarter last year We also had a record number of stalls deployed in Q4 that, you know, they always take, new branding stalls usually take 3-6 months to ramp up. we also had a record number of stalls deployed in q4 that you know they always take new branding stalls usually take 3-6 months to ramp up So that's a little higher impact this quarter than prior quarters just because of the record deployment we had in Q4. so that's a little higher impact this quarter than prior quarters just because of the record deployment we had in q4 We also mentioned a couple times last year that, you know, many of these Q4 deployments in 2025 came with much higher CapEx offsets, which is obviously great from a returns perspective, but they also come with lower productivity in throughput for the first year or two. That's really what we're seeing. One additional thing that we're calling out here is that we are seeing lower throughput from our legacy 50 and 100 KW stalls, especially as we're actually putting in a whole bunch of faster 350s across the network. I think the good news is that today, if you want about almost 65% of our throughput is already 350 KW machines. We also mentioned a couple times last year that, you know, many of these Q4 deployments in 2025 came with much higher CapEx offsets, which is obviously great from a returns perspective, but they also come with lower productivity in throughput for the first year or two. we also mentioned a couple times last year that you know many of these q4 deployments in 2025 came with much higher capex offsets which is obviously great from a returns perspective but they also come with lower productivity in throughput for the first year or two That's really what we're seeing. that's really what we're seeing One additional thing that we're calling out here is that we are seeing lower throughput from our legacy 50 and 100 KW stalls, especially as we're actually putting in a whole bunch of faster 350s across the network. one additional thing that we're calling out here is that we are seeing lower throughput from our legacy 50 and 100 kw stalls especially as we're actually putting in a whole bunch of faster 350s across the network I think the good news is that today, if you want about almost 65% of our throughput is already 350 KW machines. i think the good news is that today if you want about almost 65% of our throughput is already 350 kw machines That's up from kind of low 20% range three years ago, you know, we'll be in the 95% range by 2030. In the long term, the performance of the kinda sub 350s just becomes immaterial. I'd say none of these factors really are issues in the long term. For the full-year, we do expect daily throughput per stall to grow versus last year at the bottom end of guidance to the kinda mid-single-digit percentage range to high teens in percentage range growth over 25, top end of guidance. That hasn't changed since the last quarter. Keefer, do you wanna just address the margin? That's up from kind of low 20% range three years ago, you know, we'll be in the 95% range by 2030. that's up from kind of low 20% range three years ago you know we'll be in the 95% range by 2030 In the long term, the performance of the kinda sub 350s just becomes immaterial. in the long term the performance of the kinda sub 350s just becomes immaterial I'd say none of these factors really are issues in the long term. i'd say none of these factors really are issues in the long term For the full-year, we do expect daily throughput per stall to grow versus last year at the bottom end of guidance to the kinda mid-single-digit percentage range to high teens in percentage range growth over 25, top end of guidance. for the full-year we do expect daily throughput per stall to grow versus last year at the bottom end of guidance to the kinda mid-single-digit percentage range to high teens in percentage range growth over 25 top end of guidance That hasn't changed since the last quarter. that hasn't changed since the last quarter Keefer, do you wanna just address the margin? keefer do you wanna just address the margin

Speaker 6: Yeah, to follow up on the second part of your question, we did experience, you know, slightly lower charging network gross margin in Q1. It was down 1 percentage point on a year-over-year basis. You know, we did have higher ASP in Q1. It came in right around $0.61 on a fully loaded basis, which was offset by increased both energy costs and SaaS and NIC costs given some of the noise we experienced in the quarter. We don't see that as kind of a structural or long-term shift in cost structure. Last quarter, we did provide long-term outlook of a 50%-60% CAGR for gross network or gross margin at the charging network level. Yeah, to follow up on the second part of your question, we did experience, you know, slightly lower charging network gross margin in Q1. yeah to follow up on the second part of your question we did experience you know slightly lower charging network gross margin in q1 It was down 1 percentage point on a year-over-year basis. it was down 1 percentage point on a year-over-year basis You know, we did have higher ASP in Q1. you know we did have higher asp in q1 It came in right around $0.61 on a fully loaded basis, which was offset by increased both energy costs and SaaS and NIC costs given some of the noise we experienced in the quarter. it came in right around $0.61 on a fully loaded basis which was offset by increased both energy costs and saas and nic costs given some of the noise we experienced in the quarter We don't see that as kind of a structural or long-term shift in cost structure. we don't see that as kind of a structural or long-term shift in cost structure Last quarter, we did provide long-term outlook of a 50%-60% CAGR for gross network or gross margin at the charging network level. last quarter we did provide long-term outlook of a 50%-60% cagr for gross network or gross margin at the charging network level We wouldn't really expect that to be changing, as we look out to the future. We wouldn't really expect that to be changing, as we look out to the future. we wouldn't really expect that to be changing as we look out to the future

Speaker 3: Got it. Thank you. Maybe just as a follow-up, you know, on the NACS deployment, you know, I think previously you kind of spoke to slightly lower charging rates on that segment of the market initially. Are you still kind of seeing that or is adoption on the NACS portion of the network increasing? Thanks. Got it. got it Thank you. thank you Maybe just as a follow-up, you know, on the NACS deployment, you know, I think previously you kind of spoke to slightly lower charging rates on that segment of the market initially. maybe just as a follow-up you know on the nacs deployment you know i think previously you kind of spoke to slightly lower charging rates on that segment of the market initially Are you still kind of seeing that or is adoption on the NACS portion of the network increasing? are you still kind of seeing that or is adoption on the nacs portion of the network increasing Thanks. thanks

Speaker 2: Chris, it's, you know, we, let me just take a very quick step back with NACS. We're really very excited about deploying NACS stalls across the network because effectively we double our addressable market for people choosing to charge their vehicles without an adapter, which is the majority of people. I said last quarter that we deployed NACS some like a little pilot of 100 stalls, you know, in the kind of the fall of last year. Since then, we've seen throughput on those NACS stalls rise. That's continued to rise since we talked about this last quarter, we still remain very excited about the deployment of NACS stalls. They are still below the level of throughput that we see in our CCS stalls. Chris, it's, you know, we, let me just take a very quick step back with NACS. chris it's you know we let me just take a very quick step back with nacs We're really very excited about deploying NACS stalls across the network because effectively we double our addressable market for people choosing to charge their vehicles without an adapter, which is the majority of people. we're really very excited about deploying nacs stalls across the network because effectively we double our addressable market for people choosing to charge their vehicles without an adapter which is the majority of people I said last quarter that we deployed NACS some like a little pilot of 100 stalls, you know, in the kind of the fall of last year. i said last quarter that we deployed nacs some like a little pilot of 100 stalls you know in the kind of the fall of last year Since then, we've seen throughput on those NACS stalls rise. since then we've seen throughput on those nacs stalls rise That's continued to rise since we talked about this last quarter, we still remain very excited about the deployment of NACS stalls. that's continued to rise since we talked about this last quarter we still remain very excited about the deployment of nacs stalls They are still below the level of throughput that we see in our CCS stalls. they are still below the level of throughput that we see in our ccs stalls As I said last time and saying again this time, it does take customers who have not been used to charging in our network to become familiar with our network and to charge if they've got these NACS cables. Tesla drivers continue to charge at a higher rate, you know, every month. We're very excited. We're very much intending to continue with the rollout of these NACS cables. We'll look to do about 400 more to get to around 500. That'll be about 15% of our sites. That'll be pretty broadly spread between Q2, Q3, and Q4. We do expect that within maybe two or three years for all of our sites to have both NACS and CCS cables, and that's the point where I-I look at the addressable market having doubled. As I said last time and saying again this time, it does take customers who have not been used to charging in our network to become familiar with our network and to charge if they've got these NACS cables. as i said last time and saying again this time it does take customers who have not been used to charging in our network to become familiar with our network and to charge if they've got these nacs cables Tesla drivers continue to charge at a higher rate, you know, every month. tesla drivers continue to charge at a higher rate you know every month We're very excited. we're very excited We're very much intending to continue with the rollout of these NACS cables. we're very much intending to continue with the rollout of these nacs cables We'll look to do about 400 more to get to around 500. we'll look to do about 400 more to get to around 500 That'll be about 15% of our sites. that'll be about 15% of our sites That'll be pretty broadly spread between Q2, Q3, and Q4. that'll be pretty broadly spread between q2 q3 and q4 We do expect that within maybe two or three years for all of our sites to have both NACS and CCS cables, and that's the point where I-I look at the addressable market having doubled. we do expect that within maybe two or three years for all of our sites to have both nacs and ccs cables and that's the point where i-i look at the addressable market having doubled Hopefully that answers that question. Hopefully that answers that question. hopefully that answers that question

Speaker 3: Yeah. Thank you very much. Yeah. yeah Thank you very much. thank you very much

Speaker 1: Hey, guys. This is Anand on for Andres. Congrats on the quarter, and thanks for taking our question. I wanted to touch on a little bit of the AV charging. With, you know, Uber partnering with a variety of OEMs for AVs, we noticed you were named as a partner as well. We were wondering maybe if you could give us some granularity on what you expect from charging demand for yourselves on these front from the AVs. Hey, guys. hey guys This is Anand on for Andres. this is anand on for andres Congrats on the quarter, and thanks for taking our question. congrats on the quarter and thanks for taking our question I wanted to touch on a little bit of the AV charging. i wanted to touch on a little bit of the av charging With, you know, Uber partnering with a variety of OEMs for AVs, we noticed you were named as a partner as well. with you know uber partnering with a variety of oems for avs we noticed you were named as a partner as well We were wondering maybe if you could give us some granularity on what you expect from charging demand for yourselves on these front from the AVs. we were wondering maybe if you could give us some granularity on what you expect from charging demand for yourselves on these front from the avs

Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Anand. Yeah, look, I think that the sort of autonomous vehicle space, I remain of the view that it is a very interesting and potentially very significant source of upside to the forecasts that we had put out previously. I think if the AV space grows as pretty many people are expecting. We've been operating dedicated sites for autonomous vehicle partners for a number of years. We talked about it in the last quarter, last call. We have separated out the number of dedicated hubs, stalls that are dedicated hubs for AV partners for over a year now. We expect that we'll add another 50-75 stalls. Yeah. yeah Hey, Anand. hey anand Yeah, look, I think that the sort of autonomous vehicle space, I remain of the view that it is a very interesting and potentially very significant source of upside to the forecasts that we had put out previously. yeah look i think that the sort of autonomous vehicle space i remain of the view that it is a very interesting and potentially very significant source of upside to the forecasts that we had put out previously I think if the AV space grows as pretty many people are expecting. i think if the av space grows as pretty many people are expecting We've been operating dedicated sites for autonomous vehicle partners for a number of years. we've been operating dedicated sites for autonomous vehicle partners for a number of years We talked about it in the last quarter, last call. we talked about it in the last quarter last call We have separated out the number of dedicated hubs, stalls that are dedicated hubs for AV partners for over a year now. we have separated out the number of dedicated hubs stalls that are dedicated hubs for av partners for over a year now We expect that we'll add another 50-75 stalls. we expect that we'll add another 50-75 stalls We did get a little gain on sale from some of the stalls that we went operational in the last quarter in Q1. I will say it's still You know, we're still in the infancy of a potentially huge market opportunity. We're evaluating the best contract structures. As you know, the contract structures that we have today are really long-term contracted cash flow, which represents, you know, kind of good margin with not a lot of risk for us. As this grows, you know, we'll be looking at different contract structures that make sense for both ourselves and the AV partners or maybe also continue with what we have today. We did get a little gain on sale from some of the stalls that we went operational in the last quarter in Q1. we did get a little gain on sale from some of the stalls that we went operational in the last quarter in q1 I will say it's still You know, we're still in the infancy of a potentially huge market opportunity. i will say it's still you know we're still in the infancy of a potentially huge market opportunity We're evaluating the best contract structures. we're evaluating the best contract structures As you know, the contract structures that we have today are really long-term contracted cash flow, which represents, you know, kind of good margin with not a lot of risk for us. as you know the contract structures that we have today are really long-term contracted cash flow which represents you know kind of good margin with not a lot of risk for us As this grows, you know, we'll be looking at different contract structures that make sense for both ourselves and the AV partners or maybe also continue with what we have today. as this grows you know we'll be looking at different contract structures that make sense for both ourselves and the av partners or maybe also continue with what we have today I do expect that over the long term or midterm or long term, just as we've seen with rideshare, where really I think EVgo has become the partner of choice for rideshare companies. I do expect that there's really no reason why we wouldn't become the partner of choice for AV companies, just given our scale, the balance sheet, our emphasis on reliability, and so on. I do expect that over the long term or midterm or long term, just as we've seen with rideshare, where really I think EVgo has become the partner of choice for rideshare companies. i do expect that over the long term or midterm or long term just as we've seen with rideshare where really i think evgo has become the partner of choice for rideshare companies I do expect that there's really no reason why we wouldn't become the partner of choice for AV companies, just given our scale, the balance sheet, our emphasis on reliability, and so on. i do expect that there's really no reason why we wouldn't become the partner of choice for av companies just given our scale the balance sheet our emphasis on reliability and so on

Speaker 1: Gotcha. I appreciate the detail. Maybe as a quick follow-up with respect to the DOE loan amendment, you talked about this for quite a bit on the call. You guys eliminated the cash trap, received an $81 million draw on May first. Maybe can you walk us through how that amendment changes your practical liquidity, maybe the timing of your draws and ability to fund the accelerated owned and operated build-out? Gotcha. gotcha I appreciate the detail. i appreciate the detail Maybe as a quick follow-up with respect to the DOE loan amendment, you talked about this for quite a bit on the call. maybe as a quick follow-up with respect to the doe loan amendment you talked about this for quite a bit on the call You guys eliminated the cash trap, received an $81 million draw on May first. you guys eliminated the cash trap received an $81 million draw on may first Maybe can you walk us through how that amendment changes your practical liquidity, maybe the timing of your draws and ability to fund the accelerated owned and operated build-out? maybe can you walk us through how that amendment changes your practical liquidity maybe the timing of your draws and ability to fund the accelerated owned and operated build-out

Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, Anand, I mean, just a comment here. I'm really pleased with where we are with this loan with the DOE. If you compared us to where we were a year ago, so today versus last year, this time last year, it's really just quite a change. A year ago, we had $170 million cash in the balance sheet as of Q1, and we had a billion-dollar loan with the prior administration that was largely undrawn. You know, I would get questions on these calls about whether the current administration supported it, even though the performance was very strong. A year later, we have an agreement that's signed with the current administration. We continue to have a great, productive, collaborative relationship. It's now been drawn on 4 times. Yeah. yeah Look, Anand, I mean, just a comment here. look anand i mean just a comment here I'm really pleased with where we are with this loan with the DOE. i'm really pleased with where we are with this loan with the doe If you compared us to where we were a year ago, so today versus last year, this time last year, it's really just quite a change. if you compared us to where we were a year ago so today versus last year this time last year it's really just quite a change A year ago, we had $170 million cash in the balance sheet as of Q1, and we had a billion-dollar loan with the prior administration that was largely undrawn. a year ago we had $170 million cash in the balance sheet as of q1 and we had a billion-dollar loan with the prior administration that was largely undrawn You know, I would get questions on these calls about whether the current administration supported it, even though the performance was very strong. you know i would get questions on these calls about whether the current administration supported it even though the performance was very strong A year later, we have an agreement that's signed with the current administration. a year later we have an agreement that's signed with the current administration We continue to have a great, productive, collaborative relationship. we continue to have a great productive collaborative relationship It's now been drawn on 4 times. it's now been drawn on 4 times The principal is reduced by $425 million, but, you know, we've since last year, we've also got a commercial bank facility for up to $300 million. I think more importantly, we've demonstrated the bankability of the company with this continuous inbounds from people interested in financing the business. I think because it's a new asset class and maybe also because we're probably the only ones in the asset class that's actually financeable. Today, as of May 1st, we've turned $23 million in cash, including the $81 million that we received last week, with up to $640 million of remaining capacity between these first two facilities. That means we have enormous runway to continue to build out this infrastructure really to a point where we're generating, you know, adjusted EBITDA in the hundreds of millions. The principal is reduced by $425 million, but, you know, we've since last year, we've also got a commercial bank facility for up to $300 million. the principal is reduced by $425 million but you know we've since last year we've also got a commercial bank facility for up to $300 million I think more importantly, we've demonstrated the bankability of the company with this continuous inbounds from people interested in financing the business. i think more importantly we've demonstrated the bankability of the company with this continuous inbounds from people interested in financing the business I think because it's a new asset class and maybe also because we're probably the only ones in the asset class that's actually financeable. i think because it's a new asset class and maybe also because we're probably the only ones in the asset class that's actually financeable Today, as of May 1st, we've turned $23 million in cash, including the $81 million that we received last week, with up to $640 million of remaining capacity between these first two facilities. today as of may 1st we've turned $23 million in cash including the $81 million that we received last week with up to $640 million of remaining capacity between these first two facilities That means we have enormous runway to continue to build out this infrastructure really to a point where we're generating, you know, adjusted EBITDA in the hundreds of millions. that means we have enormous runway to continue to build out this infrastructure really to a point where we're generating you know adjusted ebitda in the hundreds of millions I think as you say, in the short term, you know, some of these amended terms, you know, result in better liquidity to really an already very strong liquidity profile. I'm really quite thrilled with where we are today. In terms of your question around deploying capital, we just received $81 million from the DOE. We've got a very strong balance sheet today. We will be disciplined in our approach to capital allocation with timing of advances just driven by balance sheet needs, which, you know, you can see is quite strong. I think one of the great attributes of this loan is that there's no time limit on when we request advances other than the five year availability period. I think as you say, in the short term, you know, some of these amended terms, you know, result in better liquidity to really an already very strong liquidity profile. i think as you say in the short term you know some of these amended terms you know result in better liquidity to really an already very strong liquidity profile I'm really quite thrilled with where we are today. i'm really quite thrilled with where we are today In terms of your question around deploying capital, we just received $81 million from the DOE. in terms of your question around deploying capital we just received $81 million from the doe We've got a very strong balance sheet today. we've got a very strong balance sheet today We will be disciplined in our approach to capital allocation with timing of advances just driven by balance sheet needs, which, you know, you can see is quite strong. we will be disciplined in our approach to capital allocation with timing of advances just driven by balance sheet needs which you know you can see is quite strong I think one of the great attributes of this loan is that there's no time limit on when we request advances other than the five year availability period. i think one of the great attributes of this loan is that there's no time limit on when we request advances other than the five year availability period Between that, the commercial bank facility, the fact that we're able to advance at a higher rate. If you translate, if you kind of work out that math, it's about another $20,000 per stall that we're able to advance versus what we had before. You know, this is sort of, there's really no concerns that we have at all about financing the build program we previously discussed or near-term liquidity. Between that, the commercial bank facility, the fact that we're able to advance at a higher rate. between that the commercial bank facility the fact that we're able to advance at a higher rate If you translate, if you kind of work out that math, it's about another $20,000 per stall that we're able to advance versus what we had before. if you translate if you kind of work out that math it's about another $20,000 per stall that we're able to advance versus what we had before You know, this is sort of, there's really no concerns that we have at all about financing the build program we previously discussed or near-term liquidity. you know this is sort of there's really no concerns that we have at all about financing the build program we previously discussed or near-term liquidity

Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, everyone. Badar, I just want to get a sense. You know, you highlighted used EVs in the deck, and you spoke about it on the call a little bit. Is there something specific you need to do to market towards these people and/or is this sort of just a sweet spot of customers that are potentially gonna be using the network? Have you seen anything, or is it too early to sort of see a ramp in new customers from these new EV owners that are buying used EVs? Hey, good morning, everyone. hey good morning everyone Badar, I just want to get a sense. badar i just want to get a sense You know, you highlighted used EVs in the deck, and you spoke about it on the call a little bit. you know you highlighted used evs in the deck and you spoke about it on the call a little bit Is there something specific you need to do to market towards these people and/or is this sort of just a sweet spot of customers that are potentially gonna be using the network? is there something specific you need to do to market towards these people and/or is this sort of just a sweet spot of customers that are potentially gonna be using the network Have you seen anything, or is it too early to sort of see a ramp in new customers from these new EV owners that are buying used EVs? have you seen anything or is it too early to sort of see a ramp in new customers from these new ev owners that are buying used evs

Speaker 2: Look, you know, I think that there's a few things in here in terms of marketing to these customers. You know, we have the same or more charging sessions on our network than everybody else in the industry combined, with the exception of Tesla and Electrify America. The reason for that is that we've really spent a lot of time building, you know, a very productive customer engagement sort of platform. We've got the ability to identify drivers of electric, battery electric vehicles. We know how to reach out to them. Look, you know, I think that there's a few things in here in terms of marketing to these customers. look you know i think that there's a few things in here in terms of marketing to these customers You know, we have the same or more charging sessions on our network than everybody else in the industry combined, with the exception of Tesla and Electrify America. you know we have the same or more charging sessions on our network than everybody else in the industry combined with the exception of tesla and electrify america The reason for that is that we've really spent a lot of time building, you know, a very productive customer engagement sort of platform. the reason for that is that we've really spent a lot of time building you know a very productive customer engagement sort of platform We've got the ability to identify drivers of electric, battery electric vehicles. we've got the ability to identify drivers of electric battery electric vehicles We know how to reach out to them. we know how to reach out to them I've mentioned before in previous calls that we've been deploying AI agents that are increasing our level of sophistication in how we reach out to customers, and that's why we've got such phenomenal engagement and demand on our network versus, you know, pretty much almost everybody else in the space. In terms of used electric vehicle drivers versus new EV drivers, there's no distinction. We will deploy the same methodology that's delivered such great success for us for used EV drivers as new EV drivers. I think what's really interesting that I'm really pointing out here and I is that, you know, for us it's not just about the growth in battery electric vehicles, used VIO that drives the business. It is expected to grow. It has grown four fold. I've mentioned before in previous calls that we've been deploying AI agents that are increasing our level of sophistication in how we reach out to customers, and that's why we've got such phenomenal engagement and demand on our network versus, you know, pretty much almost everybody else in the space. i've mentioned before in previous calls that we've been deploying ai agents that are increasing our level of sophistication in how we reach out to customers and that's why we've got such phenomenal engagement and demand on our network versus you know pretty much almost everybody else in the space In terms of used electric vehicle drivers versus new EV drivers, there's no distinction. in terms of used electric vehicle drivers versus new ev drivers there's no distinction We will deploy the same methodology that's delivered such great success for us for used EV drivers as new EV drivers. we will deploy the same methodology that's delivered such great success for us for used ev drivers as new ev drivers I think what's really interesting that I'm really pointing out here and I is that, you know, for us it's not just about the growth in battery electric vehicles, used VIO that drives the business. i think what's really interesting that i'm really pointing out here and i is that you know for us it's not just about the growth in battery electric vehicles used vio that drives the business It is expected to grow. it is expected to grow It has grown four fold. it has grown four fold It'll likely grow another 2.5 to threefold over the next five years. I do think these 2030 forecasts swing like a pendulum. They were, you know, the 2030 forecast was 30 million vehicles three years ago. Today it's, you know, 15 or 16. What's important for us is how many of those vehicles are charging at public fast charging. Rideshare electrifying means they'll charge more at public fast charging. Charge rates mean they'll charge more at public fast charging. As vehicles go from new to used, they'll charge more at public fast charging. What we're seeing is that used vehicle, used EV owners tend to live in multi-family housing. From our own data, we can see that drivers, who live in multi-family housing charge 1.5x more than drivers who live in single-family housing. It'll likely grow another 2.5 to threefold over the next five years. it'll likely grow another 2.5 to threefold over the next five years I do think these 2030 forecasts swing like a pendulum. i do think these 2030 forecasts swing like a pendulum They were, you know, the 2030 forecast was 30 million vehicles three years ago. they were you know the 2030 forecast was 30 million vehicles three years ago Today it's, you know, 15 or 16. today it's you know 15 or 16 What's important for us is how many of those vehicles are charging at public fast charging. what's important for us is how many of those vehicles are charging at public fast charging Rideshare electrifying means they'll charge more at public fast charging. rideshare electrifying means they'll charge more at public fast charging Charge rates mean they'll charge more at public fast charging. charge rates mean they'll charge more at public fast charging As vehicles go from new to used, they'll charge more at public fast charging. as vehicles go from new to used they'll charge more at public fast charging What we're seeing is that used vehicle, used EV owners tend to live in multi-family housing. what we're seeing is that used vehicle used ev owners tend to live in multi-family housing From our own data, we can see that drivers, who live in multi-family housing charge 1.5 x more than drivers who live in single-family housing. from our own data we can see that drivers who live in multi-family housing charge 1.5 x more than drivers who live in single-family housing I'm really quite excited by this. There's probably around 1 million used EVs out of the roughly 6 million today. With all of these leases rolling off post the IRA, you know, we're looking at maybe up to about 3 million used EVs at a total EV VIO three years from now, which is probably 25%-30%. If you look at that, the market, there's no reason why the EV market won't resemble the broader market where the vast majority of cars are used. I think that represents just another tailwind that I think it's worth bringing out when we think about our long-term growth prospects. I'm really quite excited by this. i'm really quite excited by this There's probably around 1 million used EVs out of the roughly 6 million today. there's probably around 1 million used evs out of the roughly 6 million today With all of these leases rolling off post the IRA, you know, we're looking at maybe up to about 3 million used EVs at a total EV VIO three years from now, which is probably 25%-30%. with all of these leases rolling off post the ira you know we're looking at maybe up to about 3 million used evs at a total ev vio three years from now which is probably 25%-30% If you look at that, the market, there's no reason why the EV market won't resemble the broader market where the vast majority of cars are used. if you look at that the market there's no reason why the ev market won't resemble the broader market where the vast majority of cars are used I think that represents just another tailwind that I think it's worth bringing out when we think about our long-term growth prospects. i think that represents just another tailwind that i think it's worth bringing out when we think about our long-term growth prospects

Speaker 4: Okay. Perfect. Thank you for the details. Just one, I mean, I think complexity is the wrong word, but if you look at the model, you've got the core charging business, then you've had the eXtend business, which was sort of in the end, sort of, kinda we're in the later innings of that rolling off so investors can focus on the charging model. If we think about the AV line and the ancillary line, is there a way to kind of know what that's gonna look like? Could that be a construction business similar to eXtend and then you have gain on sale when you flip it back to the end user? Okay. okay Perfect. perfect Thank you for the details. thank you for the details Just one, I mean, I think complexity is the wrong word, but if you look at the model, you've got the core charging business, then you've had the eXtend business, which was sort of in the end, sort of, kinda we're in the later innings of that rolling off so investors can focus on the charging model. just one i mean i think complexity is the wrong word but if you look at the model you've got the core charging business then you've had the extend business which was sort of in the end sort of kinda we're in the later innings of that rolling off so investors can focus on the charging model If we think about the AV line and the ancillary line, is there a way to kind of know what that's gonna look like? if we think about the av line and the ancillary line is there a way to kind of know what that's gonna look like Could that be a construction business similar to eXtend and then you have gain on sale when you flip it back to the end user? could that be a construction business similar to extend and then you have gain on sale when you flip it back to the end user Like, I just want to understand as AV grows, will we get to a point where that sort of becomes a new eXtend and you've got to sort of guide in different pieces? Like, when can charging revenue be just the story and a little cleaner for new investors looking at the model? Like, I just want to understand as AV grows, will we get to a point where that sort of becomes a new eXtend and you've got to sort of guide in different pieces? like i just want to understand as av grows will we get to a point where that sort of becomes a new extend and you've got to sort of guide in different pieces Like, when can charging revenue be just the story and a little cleaner for new investors looking at the model? like when can charging revenue be just the story and a little cleaner for new investors looking at the model

Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, look, if I just pick that apart, You're right, the eXtend business has been a very valuable source of revenue for the last couple of years and will be for this year too, and for a portion of 2027. At some time in 2027, the eXtend, the majority of the revenue from eXtend will sort of drop off. It'll become O&M, which is quite a bit smaller. Charging revenue, I think Keefer Lehner said it, we've had the 17th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. We will continue to see the charging revenue, the charging network just continue to grow, you know, quarter-over-quarter, over the next several years. Yeah. yeah Well, look, if I just pick that apart, You're right, the eXtend business has been a very valuable source of revenue for the last couple of years and will be for this year too, and for a portion of 2027. well look if i just pick that apart you're right the extend business has been a very valuable source of revenue for the last couple of years and will be for this year too and for a portion of 2027 At some time in 2027, the eXtend, the majority of the revenue from eXtend will sort of drop off. at some time in 2027 the extend the majority of the revenue from extend will sort of drop off It'll become O&M, which is quite a bit smaller. it'll become o&m which is quite a bit smaller Charging revenue, I think Keefer Lehner said it, we've had the 17th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. charging revenue i think keefer lehner said it we've had the 17th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth We will continue to see the charging revenue, the charging network just continue to grow, you know, quarter-over-quarter, over the next several years. we will continue to see the charging revenue the charging network just continue to grow you know quarter-over-quarter over the next several years I think this AV piece is really interesting because as you know, Chris, and I think many people have commented, there's a significant amount of capital that needs to get deployed to build out this autonomous vehicle opportunity from the vehicles themselves, the technology in the sort of autonomous vehicle technology, whether it's lidar or elsewhere. For rideshare, it'll be the capital required for the technology stack. As well as, you know, fleet operations, capital required for charging. You know, our perspective is that that's a ton of capital required to get deployed. We have the capital available for a piece of that, which is the charging infrastructure. We're quite excited about it because we're such a large player doing this sort of charging infrastructure. I think this AV piece is really interesting because as you know, Chris, and I think many people have commented, there's a significant amount of capital that needs to get deployed to build out this autonomous vehicle opportunity from the vehicles themselves, the technology in the sort of autonomous vehicle technology, whether it's lidar or elsewhere. i think this av piece is really interesting because as you know chris and i think many people have commented there's a significant amount of capital that needs to get deployed to build out this autonomous vehicle opportunity from the vehicles themselves the technology in the sort of autonomous vehicle technology whether it's lidar or elsewhere For rideshare, it'll be the capital required for the technology stack. for rideshare it'll be the capital required for the technology stack As well as, you know, fleet operations, capital required for charging. as well as you know fleet operations capital required for charging You know, our perspective is that that's a ton of capital required to get deployed. you know our perspective is that that's a ton of capital required to get deployed We have the capital available for a piece of that, which is the charging infrastructure. we have the capital available for a piece of that which is the charging infrastructure We're quite excited about it because we're such a large player doing this sort of charging infrastructure. we're quite excited about it because we're such a large player doing this sort of charging infrastructure We, the contracts that we've signed to date are these long-term contracts that have contracted cash flow. We're generating, you know, $1 per stall per month, if you will. That doesn't have to be the contract structure for this space going forward. You know, we're quite excited by it because these are likely to be very heavily utilized vehicles that will have very strong demand on our network. You know, I think that I would be open to exposure to utilization and throughput from this space. It may look like a look a little more like our regular charging business as opposed to, as you're saying, a construction business like eXtend. We're in the early innings of this. We, the contracts that we've signed to date are these long-term contracts that have contracted cash flow. we the contracts that we've signed to date are these long-term contracts that have contracted cash flow We're generating, you know, $1 per stall per month, if you will. we're generating you know $1 per stall per month if you will That doesn't have to be the contract structure for this space going forward. that doesn't have to be the contract structure for this space going forward You know, we're quite excited by it because these are likely to be very heavily utilized vehicles that will have very strong demand on our network. you know we're quite excited by it because these are likely to be very heavily utilized vehicles that will have very strong demand on our network You know, I think that I would be open to exposure to utilization and throughput from this space. you know i think that i would be open to exposure to utilization and throughput from this space It may look like a look a little more like our regular charging business as opposed to, as you're saying, a construction business like eXtend. it may look like a look a little more like our regular charging business as opposed to as you're saying a construction business like extend We're in the early innings of this. we're in the early innings of this As you can see, we've built a very strong competitive advantage with rideshare, where we're really the kind of partner of choice for rideshare companies. I see no reason why we wouldn't be a partner of choice for the AV companies, many of whom we've been working with for years already. As you can see, we've built a very strong competitive advantage with rideshare, where we're really the kind of partner of choice for rideshare companies. as you can see we've built a very strong competitive advantage with rideshare where we're really the kind of partner of choice for rideshare companies I see no reason why we wouldn't be a partner of choice for the AV companies, many of whom we've been working with for years already. i see no reason why we wouldn't be a partner of choice for the av companies many of whom we've been working with for years already

Speaker 2: Great. Well, thank you everyone. EVgo had yet another strong and record quarter. We're expecting 2026 to be an inflection year with around 70% growth in new public stalls added, supported by strong site host and rideshare partnerships. We continue to see a very strong, long-term growth outlook, and we're pleased to have reached an amended agreement with the DOE allowing us to scale the company to that half a billion dollars or more in Adjusted EBITDA by 2030. I look forward to sharing our progress with you on our future calls. Thanks very much, everyone. Great. great Well, thank you everyone. well thank you everyone EVgo had yet another strong and record quarter. evgo had yet another strong and record quarter We're expecting 2026 to be an inflection year with around 70% growth in new public stalls added, supported by strong site host and rideshare partnerships. we're expecting 2026 to be an inflection year with around 70% growth in new public stalls added supported by strong site host and rideshare partnerships We continue to see a very strong, long-term growth outlook, and we're pleased to have reached an amended agreement with the DOE allowing us to scale the company to that half a billion dollars or more in Adjusted EBITDA by 2030. we continue to see a very strong long-term growth outlook and we're pleased to have reached an amended agreement with the doe allowing us to scale the company to that half a billion dollars or more in adjusted ebitda by 2030 I look forward to sharing our progress with you on our future calls. i look forward to sharing our progress with you on our future calls Thanks very much, everyone. thanks very much everyone
