EVgo, Inc. (EVGO - Free Report) announced the receipt of the first batch of shipments of 350kW fast chargers from Delta Electronics. These chargers are compliant with Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) standards.

This shipment, which originated from the new facility of Delta Electronics in Plano, marks a milestone in developing a robust domestic supply chain to cater to the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the United States.    By achieving this milestone, both companies have opened doors to funding opportunities covered under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program.

By far, Delta has delivered 10 BABA-compliant chargers and EVgo expects to receive additional chargers from Delta Electronics later this year.

An accelerated manufacturing process through close collaboration between Delta and EVgo has made the delivery of chargers possible ahead of the originally scheduled date. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law created $7.5 billion in funding for EV charging stations. The chargers are made BABA-compliant to qualify for federal funding.

Till now, EVgo and its partners have received millions in preliminary awards from the NEVI initiative in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania.

Dennis Kish, COO of EVgo, highlighted the shared commitment of EVgo and Delta to develop a resilient supply chain in America to satiate the growing demand for fast charging across the country.

Apart from onshoring its supply chain, EVgo is also ensuring that future chargers integrate with the North American Charging Standard (NACS), which is currently under consideration by standardization bodies.
