Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, as set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
GAAP defines subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Based on their nature, magnitude and timing, certain subsequent events may be required to be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the balance sheet date and/or required to be disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events accordingly.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of EVgo’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, variable consideration estimates and stand-alone selling prices for performance obligations for revenue, depreciable lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, costs associated with asset retirement obligations, the fair value of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities, share-based compensation, earnout liability, and warrant liabilities. Management bases these estimates on its historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results experienced may vary materially and adversely from EVgo’s estimates. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts in commercial banks. Cash balances held in a commercial bank are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $

The Company had
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023,
Reclassifications
The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and restricted cash include cash held in cash depository accounts in major banks in the U.S. and are stated at cost. Cash equivalents are carried at fair value and are invested in money market funds. Cash that is held by a financial institution and has restrictions on its availability to the Company is classified as restricted cash.
The Company had restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, of $
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers under normal trade terms. Payment terms for accounts receivable related to capital-build agreements are specified in the individual agreements and vary depending on the counterparty. Management reviews accounts receivable on a recurring basis to determine if any accounts receivable will potentially be uncollectible. The Company reserves for any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in the allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the account receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Other accounts receivable of $
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), as amended in December 2022 by ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”). ASU 2020-04 provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024, as amended by ASU 2022-06. The Company has not identified any contracts, hedging relationships or other transactions impacted by reference rate reform and therefore does not expect any impact resulting from the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, ASC Subtopic 280 “Segment Reporting — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or the
15
criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 provides for significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment and an aggregate amount and description of other segment items included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss beyond the significant segment expenses for each reportable segment; permits the disclosure of multiple measures of segment profit or loss for each reportable segment, subject to a minimum disclosure of the measure of segment profit or loss that is most consistent with the amounts included in the financial statements (consistent with current guidance); confirms that all disclosures required in the segments guidance apply to all public entities, including those with a single operating or reportable segment; requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual or the name of the group identified as the CODM in the financial statements; and requires disclosure of how the CODM uses each reported measure of segment profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources to the segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, ASC Subtopic 740 “Income Taxes — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is designed to increase transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, ASC Subtopic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASU 2024-01”) to provide illustrative examples to determine whether profits interest awards are share-based payment arrangements in the scope of ASC 718, or cash bonus or profit-sharing arrangements in the scope of ASC 710, Compensation. ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods and should be applied either retrospectively to all prior periods presented or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date at which the amendments are first applied. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, ASC Subtopic 220 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments require that each interim and annual reporting period an entity disclose more information about the components of certain expense captions than is currently disclosed in the financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) does not require disclosure of the transaction price to remaining performance obligations if the contract contains variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under many customer contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation and therefore future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and thus disclosure of the transaction price allocated to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation is not required. Under these contracts, variability arises as both volume and pricing are not known until the product is delivered. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $

Pilot Infrastructure Agreement
On July 5, 2022, EVgo entered into a charging infrastructure agreement (the “Pilot Infrastructure Agreement”) and an operations and maintenance agreement (the “Pilot O&M”) with Pilot Travel Centers LLC (the “Pilot Company”) and General Motors LLC (“GM”) to build, operate, and maintain up to
Pursuant to the Pilot Infrastructure Agreement, EVgo is required to meet certain construction milestones measured by the number of sites commissioned, and the Pilot Company is required to make certain payments each month based on completion of pre-engineering and development work, the progress of construction at each site and for each charger procured by EVgo. Subject to extensions of time for specified excusable events, if EVgo is unable to meet its commissioning obligations, the Pilot Company will be entitled to liquidated damages calculated per day, subject to a cap of $
Under the Pilot O&M, EVgo is required to perform operations, maintenance and networking services on stalls built and commissioned under the Pilot Infrastructure Agreement in exchange for payment of a monthly fee by the Pilot Company to EVgo. Similar to the Pilot Infrastructure Agreement, the Pilot O&M includes customary events of default and related remedies.
Delta Charger Supply Agreement and Purchase Order
On July 12, 2022, EVgo entered into a General Terms and Conditions for Sale of EV Charger Products (the “Delta Charger Supply Agreement”) with Delta Electronics, Inc. (“Delta”), including an initial purchase order (the “Purchase Order”), pursuant to which EVgo will purchase and Delta will sell EV chargers manufactured by Delta in specified quantities at certain delivery dates. EVgo expects to use a portion of the chargers purchased under the Purchase Order to meet the requirements of the Pilot Infrastructure Agreement. EVgo is required to purchase a minimum of

General Motors Agreement
On July 20, 2020, EVgo entered into a contract with GM (as amended from time to time, the “GM Agreement”) to build fast charger stalls that EVgo will own and operate as part of the Company’s public network. The GM Agreement has been amended several times, to among other things, expand the overall number of charger stalls to be installed from
Under the GM Agreement, EVgo is required to install a total of
The GM Agreement is subject to early termination in certain circumstances, including in the event EVgo fails to meet the quarterly charger stall-installation milestones or maintain the specified level of network availability. If GM opts to terminate the agreement, EVgo may not be entitled to receive continued payments from GM and instead may be required to pay liquidated damages to GM. In the event EVgo fails to meet a charger stall-installation milestone or maintain the required network availability in a calendar quarter, GM has the right to provide EVgo with a notice of such deficiency within 30 days of the end of the quarter. If the same deficiency still exists at the end of the quarter immediately following the quarter for which a deficiency notification was delivered, GM may immediately terminate the agreement and seek pre-agreed liquidated damages of up to $
If EVgo does not meet its charger stall-installation milestone in any period, GM will have the right, if it so chooses, to send EVgo a charger stall count breach notice, which would trigger a cure period. It is possible that EVgo will not meet the charger stall-installation milestones under the GM Agreement in the future, particularly as a consequence of delays in permitting, commissioning and utility interconnection, and delays associated with industry and regulatory adaptation to the requirements of high-powered charger installation, including slower than expected third-party approvals of certain site acquisitions and site plans by utilities and landowners, and supply chain issues.
Nissan Agreements
EVgo executed an agreement with Nissan North America, Inc. (“Nissan”) in June 2019 (the “Nissan Agreement”), that provides for joint marketing activities, charging credit programs for purchasers or lessees of Nissan EVs, and a capital-build program. The Nissan Agreement has been amended several times to, among other things, adjust the allocation of the value of unused charging credits and to provide new offerings for purchasers or lessees of certain Nissan EV models. Under the joint-marketing activities provisions of the Nissan Agreement, EVgo was obligated to spend a specified amount annually on joint-marketing activities that were mutually agreed-upon with Nissan until March 1, 2024. Under the charging credit program provisions in the Nissan Agreement, credits for charging are allocated to purchasers or lessees of Nissan EVs, and such purchasers or lessees are permitted to charge their EV for
22
2024, Nissan is required to make additional payments to the extent needed to support charging credits for new enrollees, and unused funds from such additional payments will be returned to Nissan at the end of the term. For Nissan EV purchasers or lessees receiving unlimited charging, the Company receives an upfront activation fee for each purchaser or lessee as well as a usage-based fee. The capital-build program provided for in the Nissan Agreement required the Company to install, operate and maintain public, high-power dual-standard chargers in specified markets pursuant to a schedule that outlined the build timelines for the chargers to be constructed (the “Build Schedule”). EVgo fulfilled its capital-build program obligations under the Nissan Agreement. The contract is accounted for under ASC 606, which includes performance obligations related to memberships, charging credits and joint marketing activities. The capital-build program is considered a set-up activity and not a performance obligation under ASC 606.
Nissan has the right to terminate the Nissan Agreement, without penalty or obligation of any kind, upon
Indemnifications and Guarantees
In the normal course of business and in conjunction with certain agreements, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements through which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. These arrangements can include provisions whereby we have joint and several liability in relation to the performance of certain contractual obligations along with third parties also providing services and products for a specific project. In addition, our arrangements may include warranties that our services will substantially operate in accordance with the stated requirements. Indemnification provisions are also included in arrangements under which EVgo agrees to hold the indemnified party harmless with respect to third-party claims related to such matters as title to assets sold or licensed or certain intellectual property rights.
The Company also has indemnification obligations to other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with us, with respect to certain matters. EVgo has agreed to indemnify against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants or out of intellectual property infringement or the occurrence of certain specified conditions or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time or circumstances within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. Historically, indemnity payments made by us have not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to our agents.
To date, EVgo has not been required to make any significant payment under any of the arrangements described above. The Company has assessed the current status of performance/payment risk related to arrangements with limited guarantees, warranty obligations, unspecified limitations, indemnification provisions, letters of credit and surety bonds, and believes that any potential payments would be immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements, as a whole.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company may be subject to lawsuits, investigations, claims and proceedings, including, but not limited to, contractual disputes with vendors and customers and liabilities related to employment, health and safety matters. The Company accrues for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex and subject to change.
Contingent liabilities arising from ordinary course litigation are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, may potentially have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting period.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value as of:

Note 11 – Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to federal and state jurisdictions where business is conducted related to the Company’s ownership in EVgo OpCo. All income (loss) before income taxes is generated in the U.S. The Company’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rates reflect the impact of a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and a significant portion of income (loss) being allocated to a nontaxable partnership.
In assessing the realization of its deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Management considered all available material evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the appropriateness of a valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets, including the generation of future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and other available material evidence. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities for all periods since its inception. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, nor any amounts accrued for interest and penalties.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law and offers tax incentives targeting energy transition and renewables. The alternative fuel refueling property credit under Section 30C of the Internal Revenue Code, which includes electric vehicle charging stations (“30C Credit”), was reinstated in 2022 and extended to apply to any property placed in service beginning January 1, 2023 and before January 1, 2033. The credit amount is calculated as 6% of the eligible costs of the alternative fuel refueling property with a potential higher tax credit rate of 30% of the eligible costs of the alternative fuel refueling property if specified prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship requirements are met during construction of the property, with a maximum credit amount of $100,000 per item of property. Under the IRA 30C Credits may be transferred for cash consideration in the taxable year the credit is generated. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service have been granted broad authority to issue regulations or guidance that could clarify how these tax credits are calculated. The Company is continuing to evaluate the financial impact of the IRA as additional information becomes available. The Company has elected to account for these credits under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, and disregards expected transfers in assessing realizability as part of the valuation allowance analysis. The Company will instead recognize such amounts upon transfer of control over the 30C Credits. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company transferred EVgo OpCo’s 2023 30C Credits for proceeds, net of estimated transaction costs, of $

Note 15 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, EVgo Holdings held
The EVgo OpCo Units held by EVgo Holdings have been classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Company. The cash redemption feature of the EVgo OpCo Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, at the option of EVgo OpCo, is considered outside of the control of the Company. Therefore, in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the EVgo OpCo Units are classified as temporary equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The redeemable noncontrolling interest held by EVgo Holdings in EVgo OpCo, through its ownership of EVgo OpCo Units, was initially measured at its carrying amount on the CRIS Close Date. Net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the redeemable noncontrolling interest during each reporting period based on its ownership percentage, as appropriate. Subsequent to that, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at its fair value (i.e., based on the Class A common stock price) at the end of each reporting period, exclusive of the par value of the related Class B common stock, with the remeasurement amount being no less than the initial carrying amount, as adjusted for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss. The offset of any fair value adjustment is recorded to equity, with no impact to net income (loss).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of EVgo’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with EVgo’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause EVgo’s actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
EVgo is a leader in EV charging solutions, building and operating the infrastructure and tools to expedite the mass adoption of EVs for individual drivers, rideshare and commercial fleets, and businesses. EVgo is one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks, featuring over 1,000 fast charging locations across more than 40 states, including stations built through EVgo eXtend, its white label service offering. EVgo is expected to accelerate transportation electrification through partnerships with automakers, fleet and rideshare operators, retail hosts such as grocery stores, shopping centers, and gas stations, policy leaders, and other organizations.
The foundation of the Company’s business is building, owning and operating EV fast charging sites that deliver charging to EVs driven by individuals, commercial drivers, and fleet operators. EVgo’s core revenue stream is from the provision of charging services for EVs of all types on EVgo’s network. In addition, a variety of business-to-business commercial relationships provide EVgo with revenue or cash payments based on commitments to build new infrastructure, provide guaranteed access to charging, and provide marketing, data and software-driven services. EVgo also earns revenue from the sale of regulatory credits generated through sales of electricity and its operation and ownership of its DCFC network. EVgo believes this combination of revenue streams can drive long-term margin expansion and customer retention.
Specifically, charging network revenue is earned through the following streams:
● | Charging Revenue, Retail: EVgo sells electricity directly to drivers who access EVgo’s publicly available networked chargers. Various pricing plans exist for customers and drivers have the choice to charge through a subscription offering or a variety of pay-as-you-go plans. Drivers locate the chargers through EVgo’s mobile application, their vehicle’s in-dash navigation system, or third-party databases, such as PlugShare, that license charger-location information from EVgo. EVgo chargers are generally installed in parking spaces owned or leased by commercial or public-entity Site Hosts that desire to provide charging services at their respective locations. Commercial Site Hosts include retail and grocery stores, offices, medical complexes, airports and convenience stores. EVgo offerings are well aligned with the goals of Site Hosts, as many commercial businesses increasingly view charging capabilities as essential to attracting tenants, employees, customers and visitors, and achieve sustainability goals. Site Hosts are generally able to obtain these benefits at no cost when partnering with EVgo through the Company’s owner and/or operator model, in which EVgo is responsible for the development, construction, and operation of chargers located on Site Hosts’ properties. In many cases, Site Hosts will earn revenue from license payments in the form of parking space rental fees that EVgo pays in exchange for use of the site. |
● | Charging Revenue, Commercial: High volume fleet customers, such as transportation networking companies or delivery services, can access EVgo’s charging infrastructure through EVgo’s vast public network. Pricing for charging services is most often negotiated directly with the fleet owner based on the business needs and usage patterns of the fleet. In these arrangements EVgo contracts with and bills, either the fleet owner directly or an individual fleet driver utilizing EVgo’s chargers. |
33
In addition to offering access to its public network, EVgo offers dedicated charging solutions to fleets. Through its fleet product, EVgo develops, builds, and services charging assets for fleets either at their own depot locations or at off-site charging hubs that EVgo has secured without requiring a fleet to directly incur capital expenditures. EVgo offers a variety of pricing models for dedicated charging solutions, including a mix of volumetric commitments and variable and fixed payments for provision of charging services. Together, EVgo’s dedicated charging solutions and public fleet charging services provide fleets with charging infrastructure options that are robust and flexible as the transition to electrified transportation accelerates.
● | Charging Revenue, OEM: EVgo is a pioneer in OEM charging programs with revenue models to meet a wide variety of OEM objectives related to the availability of charging infrastructure and the provision of charging services for EV drivers. EVgo contracts directly with OEMs to provide charging services to drivers who have purchased or leased such OEMs’ EVs and who access EVgo’s public charger network. Other related services currently provided to OEMs by EVgo include co-marketing, data services and digital application services. EVgo’s OEM relationships are a core customer-acquisition channel. |
● | Regulatory Credit Sales: As a charging station owner and operator, EVgo earns regulatory credits, such as Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits and other regulatory credits, in states where such programs are enacted currently, including the Fast Charging Infrastructure program in California. These credits are generated through charging station operations based on the volume of kWh sold. EVgo earns additional revenue through the sale of these credits to buyers obligated to purchase the credits to comply with the program mandates. |
● | Network Revenue, OEM: This revenue stream represents revenue related to contracts that have significant charger infrastructure build programs, which represent set-up costs under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Proceeds from these contracts are allocated to performance obligations including marketing activities, memberships, reservations and the expiration of unused charging credits. Marketing activities are recognized at a point in time as the services are performed and measurement is based on amounts spent. For memberships and reservations, revenue is recognized over time and measured based on the charging activity of subscriber members at each measurement period. Any unused charging credits are recognized as breakage using the proportional method or, for programs where there is not enough information to determine the pattern of rights exercised by the customer, the remote method. |
EVgo generates non-charging network revenue from the following streams:
● | eXtend Revenue: Through EVgo eXtend, EVgo provides hardware, design, and construction services for charging sites, as well as ongoing operations, maintenance and networking and software integration solutions, while customers purchase and retain ownership of the charging assets. Existing customers with EVgo accounts are able to access eXtend chargers through the EVgo app, among other options. For some EVgo eXtend customers, EVgo also provides grant application support and related services. |
● | Ancillary Revenue: EVgo offers a variety of software-driven digital, development and operations services to customers. These offerings currently include customization of digital applications, charging data integration, loyalty programs, access to chargers behind parking lot or garage pay gates, microtargeted advertising and charging reservations as well as all services provided under PlugShare such as data, research and advertising services and equipment procurement and operational services for customers operating dedicated networks. EVgo continues to evaluate and engage in opportunities to use its foundational expertise in charging infrastructure to provide value-added services to the rapidly growing EV ecosystem. |
Recent Developments
Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Environment
During the last several years, the global economy has experienced disruption and sustained volatility due to a number of factors, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and the broader Middle East
34
region have led to disruptions, instability and volatility in global markets and industries and will likely continue to lead to, geopolitical instability, market uncertainty and supply disruptions. Additionally, recent inflationary pressures have resulted in and may continue to result in increases to the costs of charging equipment and personnel, which could in turn cause capital expenditures and operating costs to rise. Notwithstanding the current easing of inflation and general improvement in the macroeconomic environment, EVgo remains vigilant of factors that may have the effects of raising the cost of capital and depressing economic growth.
The current economic environment remains uncertain, and the extent to which EVgo’s operating and financial results for future periods will be impacted by the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and the broader Middle East region, rates of inflation, instability in the financial services sector, supply-chain disruptions, government efforts to reduce inflation and any recession will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, continued long lead times of grid equipment such as transformers may impact EVgo’s development cycle.
Government EV Initiatives
In order to encourage the use of EVs, the U.S. federal government and some state and local governments provide incentives to end users and owners of EVs and EV charging stations in the form of rebates, tax credits, low-cost funding and other financial incentives that promote EV adoption and related EV charging infrastructure. EVgo believes the promotion of EVs and the installation of related EV charging infrastructure will continue in part due to the ongoing implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”) and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”), which included extensions, expansions and revisions of various tax credits relating to EVs and EV charging infrastructure and may provide more flexibility and options in monetizing such credits. In particular, the Inflation Reduction Act (i) expanded and extended tax credits for EV charging infrastructure and new EVs while also amending rules for vehicles to qualify for such credits, (ii) introduced tax credits for used EVs and commercial EVs and (iii) introduced the concept of transferability for certain tax credits, providing an additional option to monetize such credits.
However, tax incentives may expire, grant programs will end when the allocated funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is exhausted, or may be impacted as a matter of regulatory or legislative policy. For example, the results of the 2024 Presidential and Congressional elections and resulting legislative or regulatory actions, if pursued, could impact the availability or value of these incentives. Further, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and other government EV initiatives, including regulatory requirements and restrictions that may impact the ability of EVgo and its competitors to take advantage of such initiatives, cannot be known with any certainty at this time, and EVgo may not reap any or all of the expected benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act or the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law if material changes are made to these laws or the regulations issued thereunder, which could negatively affect the EV market and adversely impact EVgo’s business operations and expansion potential.
In addition, a number of states offer various rebates, grants and tax credits to incentivize both EV and EVSE purchases. Additionally, in many states, utilities offer rebates or other incentive programs, typically called “make-ready” programs, to incentivize the development of EV charging infrastructure.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
EVgo’s revenue is generated across various business lines. The majority of EVgo’s revenue is generated from the sale of charging services, which are comprised of retail, commercial and OEM business lines, and its eXtend offering. In addition, EVgo generates ancillary revenue through the sale of data services and consumer retail services. EVgo also offers network services to OEM customers, including memberships and marketing. Finally, as a result of owning and operating the EV charging stations, EVgo earns regulatory credits such as LCFS credits, which are sold to generate additional revenue.
35
Cost of Sales
Charging Network. Charging network cost of sales consists primarily of energy usage fees, site operating and maintenance expenses, network charges, warranty and repair services, and site lease and related expenses associated with charging stations.
Other. Other cost of sales is primarily related to costs associated with the eXtend business and the sale of data services and other ancillary services.
Depreciation, Net of Capital-Build Amortization. Depreciation, net of capital-build amortization, consists of depreciation related to EVgo’s property and equipment associated with charging equipment and installation and is partially offset by the amortization of EVgo’s capital-build liabilities associated with third-party funding received for charging stations and other programs.
Gross Profit (Loss) and Gross Margin
Gross profit (loss) consists of EVgo’s revenue less its cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit (loss) as a percentage of revenue.
Operating Expenses
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of payroll and related personnel expenses, IT and office services, customer service, office rent expense and professional services. EVgo expects its general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars as it continues to grow its business. EVgo also expects to continue to incur additional expenses related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, general insurance and directors’ and officers’ insurance, investor relations and other professional services.
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion consists of depreciation related to EVgo’s property, equipment and software not associated with charging equipment and, therefore, not included in the depreciation, net of capital-build amortization expenses recorded in cost of sales. This also includes amortization of EVgo’s intangible assets and accretion related to EVgo’s asset retirement obligations.
Operating Profit (Loss) and Operating Margin
Operating profit (loss) consists of EVgo’s gross profit (loss) less total operating expenses. Operating margin is operating profit (loss) as a percentage of revenue.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and debt securities.
Change in Fair Values of Warrant and Earnout Liabilities
The change in the fair values of the warrant and earnout liabilities reflects the mark-to-market adjustments associated with warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and earnout liabilities for each reporting period.
Income Taxes
EVgo’s provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to federal and state jurisdictions where business is conducted related to the Company’s ownership in EVgo OpCo.
36
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the share of net income or loss that is attributable to EVgo’s Class B common stock held by EVgo Holdings.
Key Performance Indicators
EVgo management uses several performance metrics to manage the business and evaluate financial and operating performance:
Network Throughput on the EVgo Network
Network throughput represents the total amount of GWh consumed by EVs using chargers and charging stations that EVgo has operational on its network (excluding eXtend chargers and charging stations) (the “EVgo Network”). EVgo typically monitors GWh sales by three components: business line, customer and customer class. EVgo believes monitoring of component trends and contributions is the appropriate way to monitor and measure business-related health.
Number of DC Stalls on the EVgo Network
Number of DC stalls represents the total number of DC stalls (energized, inspected and commissioned) on the EVgo Network (“DC Stalls”). One stall can charge one vehicle at a time. There are certain configurations of EVgo sites where one DC charger is capable of charging only one vehicle at a time; all chargers at such a site are counted as one stall per one charger. There are certain configurations of EVgo sites where one DC charger is capable of charging two vehicles simultaneously; all chargers at such a site are counted as two stalls per one charger.
The following table presents network throughput and the number of DC Stalls on the EVgo Network:

Factors Affecting EVgo’s Operating Results
EVgo believes its performance and future success depend on a number of factors, including those discussed below and in “Part II, Item 1A., Risk Factors.”
EV Sales
EVgo’s revenue growth is directly tied to the adoption and continued acceptance and usage of passenger and commercial EVs, which it believes drives the demand for electricity, charging infrastructure and charging services. The market for EVs is still rapidly evolving and, although demand for EVs has grown in recent years, there is no guarantee of such future demand. Additionally, as demand increases, the supply must keep pace for adoption to continue to accelerate at a rapid pace. Factors impacting the adoption of EVs include perceptions about EV features, quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge; availability of services for EVs; consumers’ perception about the convenience, speed, reliability and cost of EV charging; volatility in the price of gasoline and diesel; EV supply chain shortages and disruptions including, but not limited to, availability of certain components (e.g., semiconductors and critical raw materials necessary for the production of EVs and EV batteries), the ability of EV OEMs to ramp-up EV production and/or allocate sufficient quantities of EV models to the U.S. market; domestic content requirements or other policy constraints; availability of batteries and battery materials; availability, cost and desirability of other alternative fuel vehicles, including plug-in hybrid EVs and high fuel-economy gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles; increases in fuel efficiency; regulations applicable to vehicle emissions and fuel economy; and availability of federal and state credits for EV purchases. In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for
37
EVs, particularly since the sales price of EVs can be more expensive than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. If the market for EVs does not develop as expected or if there is any slowdown or delay in overall adoption of EVs, EVgo’s operating results may be adversely affected.
Electrification of Fleets
EVgo faces competition in the emerging fleet electrification segment, including from certain fleet customers who may opt to install and own charging equipment on their property; however, EVgo believes its unique set of offerings to fleets and its existing charging network position EVgo advantageously to win business from fleets. Fleet owners are generally more sensitive to the total cost of ownership of a vehicle than private-vehicle owners. As such, electrification of vehicle fleets may occur more slowly or more rapidly than management forecasts based on the cost to purchase, operate and maintain EVs and the general availability of such vehicles relative to those of internal combustion engine vehicles. The ability of EVgo and its competitors to offer competitive charging services and value-added ancillary services may impact the pace at which fleets electrify and may impact EVgo’s ability to capture market share in fleets. Additionally, federal, state and local government support and regulations directed at fleets (or lack thereof) may accelerate or delay fleet electrification and increase or reduce EVgo’s business opportunity.
Competition
The EV charging industry is increasingly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the industry include charger count, locations, accessibility and reliability; charger connectivity to EVs and ability to charge widely adopted standards; speed of charging relative to expected vehicle dwell times at a location; DCFC network reliability, scale and local density; software-enabled service offerings and overall customer experience; operator brand, track record and reputation; access to equipment vendors and service providers; policy incentives; and pricing. Existing competitors may expand their product offerings and sales strategies, new competitors may enter the market and certain fleet customers may choose to install and operate their own charging infrastructure. If EVgo’s market share decreases due to increased competition, its revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.
Government Mandates, Incentives and Programs
The U.S. federal government and some state and local governments provide incentives to end users and owners of EVs and EV charging stations in the form of rebates, tax credits, low-cost funding and other financial incentives, such as payments for regulatory credits. The EV market relies on these governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives to significantly lower the effective price of EVs and EV charging stations and to otherwise financially support these industries. However, these incentives may expire on a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted, or may be reduced or terminated as a matter of regulatory or legislative policy. For example, the results of the 2024 Presidential and Congressional elections and resulting legislative or regulatory actions, if pursued, could impact the availability or value of these incentives or reduce access to such low-cost funding. Further, EVgo has historically claimed federal tax credits under Section 30C of the Code. The Inflation Reduction Act revised the eligibility criteria for these credits, and there can be no assurance that the EV charging stations placed into service by EVgo will meet the revised requirements, and compliance with such requirements could increase EVgo’s labor and other costs. Any reduction in rebates, tax credits or other financial incentives available to EVs or EV charging stations could negatively affect the EV market and adversely impact EVgo’s business operations and expansion potential. In addition, there is no assurance that EVgo will have the necessary tax attributes to utilize any such credits that are available and may not be able to monetize such credits on favorable terms. Further, certain features of EVgo OpCo’s ownership may limit the available tax credit that can be monetized or utilized.
Technology Risks
EVgo relies on numerous internally developed and externally sourced hardware and software technologies to operate its network and generate earnings. EVgo engages a variety of third-party vendors for non-proprietary hardware and software components and software-as-a-service elements. The ability of EVgo to continue to integrate its technology stack with technological advances in the wider EV ecosystem including EV model characteristics, charging standards, charging hardware, software and battery chemistries and value-added customer services will determine EVgo’s sustained
38
competitiveness in offering charging services. There is a risk that some or all of the components of the EV technology ecosystem become obsolete and that EVgo will be required to make significant investments to continue to effectively operate its business. For example, a majority of the largest OEMs have announced plans to adopt the NACS standard in their future EVs. SAE International, a standards-developing organization for automotive engineering professionals, is currently working on an initiative to adapt Tesla’s specifications for NACS into the SAE J3400 industry standard. EVgo expects that it will begin adding NACS connectors to its fast-charging network in late 2024; however, integrating NACS connectors in future charger installations and on certain existing chargers will require significant investment and management attention.
EVgo’s management believes EVgo’s business model is well-positioned to enable EVgo to remain technology-, vendor- and OEM-agnostic over time and allow the business to remain competitive regardless of long-term technological shifts in EVs, batteries or modes of charging.
Sales of Regulatory Credits
EVgo derives revenue from selling regulatory credits earned for participating in LCFS programs, or other similar carbon or emissions trading schemes, in various jurisdictions in the U.S. EVgo currently sells these credits at market prices. These credits are exposed to various market and supply and demand dynamics which can drive price volatility and which are difficult to predict. Price fluctuations in credits may have a material effect on future results of operations. The availability of such credits depends on continued governmental support for these programs. If these programs are modified, reduced or eliminated, EVgo’s ability to generate this revenue in the future would be adversely impacted. EVgo is currently monitoring proposed enhancements to California’s LCFS program, which is being evaluated at the California Air Resources Board. In addition to California, EVgo is monitoring proposed new Clean Fuels programs in Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York.
Seasonality
EVgo believes that EV charging is subject to seasonality related to driving, travel and economic activity that impacts demand for charging. For example, Americans typically drive more miles in the summer months and fewer in the winter months, especially in January and February. EVgo’s rideshare drivers also typically experience lower activity levels in the first quarter. The exact impacts that these underlying trends have on charging demand has been difficult to discern given the growth in throughput and utilization that EVgo has experienced over the past several years. Lastly, many utilities tend to charge higher rates in the summer (typically defined as a four month period starting in June), than the rest of the year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was a $0.6 million loss resulting from the change in fair values of warrant and earnout liabilities compared to a gain of $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change between periods was primarily due to an increase in the fair values of the warrant and earnout liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a decrease in the fair values of the warrant and earnout liabilities during the same prior-year period. See “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements” for more information.

Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, EVgo’s income taxes and effective tax rates were de minimis. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, EVgo maintained a full valuation allowance on EVgo’s net deferred tax assets.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $91.1 million, compared to $98.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement was primarily driven by increased gross profit of $13.4 million and a $3.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $7.2 million decrease from changes in the fair values of the warrant and earnout liabilities.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report includes the following non-GAAP financial measures, in each case as defined below: “Charging Network Margin,” “Adjusted Cost of Sales,” “Adjusted Cost of Sales as a Percentage of Revenue,” “Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss),” “Adjusted Gross Margin,” “Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses,” “Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue,” “EBITDA,” “EBITDA Margin,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” and “Capital Expenditures, Net of Capital Offsets.” With respect to Capital Expenditures, Net of Capital Offsets, pursuant to the terms of certain OEM contracts, EVgo is paid well in advance of when revenue can be recognized, and usually, the payment is tied to the number of stalls that commence operations under the applicable contractual arrangement while the related revenue is deferred at the time of payment and is recognized as revenue over time as EVgo provides charging and other services to the OEM and the OEM’s customers. EVgo management therefore uses these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets, and operational goals to manage and monitor its business, including the cash used for, and the return on, its investment in its charging infrastructure. EVgo believes that these measures are useful to investors in evaluating EVgo’s performance and help to depict a meaningful representation of the performance of the underlying business, enabling EVgo to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.
Charging Network Margin, Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Cost of Sales as a Percentage of Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss), Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Capital Expenditures, Net of Capital Offsets are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing EVgo’s financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
EVgo defines Charging Network Margin as total charging network revenue less charging network cost of sales divided by total charging network revenue. EVgo defines Adjusted Cost of Sales as cost of sales before: (i) depreciation, net of capital-build amortization, and (ii) share-based compensation. EVgo defines Adjusted Cost of Sales as a Percentage of Revenue as Adjusted Cost of Sales as a percentage of revenue. EVgo defines Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss) as revenue less Adjusted Cost of Sales. EVgo defines Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit (Loss) as a percentage of revenue. EVgo defines Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as general and administrative expenses before (i) share-based compensation, (ii) loss on disposal of property and equipment, net of insurance recoveries, and impairment expense, (iii) bad debt expense (recoveries), and (iv) certain other items that management believes are not indicative of EVgo’s ongoing performance. EVgo defines Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue as Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of revenue. EVgo defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) depreciation, net of capital-build amortization, (ii) amortization, (iii) accretion, (iv) interest income, (v) interest expense, and (vi) income tax expense (benefit). EVgo defines EBITDA Margin as EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. EVgo defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) share-based compensation, (ii) loss on disposal of property and equipment, net of insurance recoveries, and impairment expense, (iii) loss (gain) on investments, (iv) bad debt expense (recoveries), (v) change in fair value of earnout liability, (vi) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and (vii) certain other items that management believes are not indicative of EVgo’s ongoing performance. EVgo defines Adjusted EBITDA
46
Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. EVgo defines Capital Expenditures, Net of Capital Offsets as capital expenditures adjusted for the following capital offsets: (i) all payments under OEM infrastructure agreements excluding any amounts directly attributable to OEM customer charging credit programs and pass-through of non-capital expense reimbursements, (ii) proceeds from capital-build funding and (iii) proceeds from the transfer of 30C income tax credits, net of transaction costs. The tables below present quantitative reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures as described in this paragraph.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
EVgo has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows. As of September 30, 2024, EVgo had $153.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and working capital of $121.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, EVgo had $209.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and working capital of $178.1 million. The Company’s net cash outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $55.7 million. EVgo believes its cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2024 are sufficient to meet EVgo’s current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report.
To date, EVgo’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from the CRIS Business Combination, revenues from its various revenue streams, government grants, proceeds from the transfer of 30C income tax credits, proceeds from sales of EVgo’s Class A common stock, including under the ATM Program and an underwritten equity offering, and loans and equity contributions from its previous owners. EVgo’s primary cash requirements include operating expenses, satisfaction of commitments to various counterparties and suppliers and capital expenditures (including property and equipment). EVgo’s principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding its operations and investing in capital expenditures, including the purchase of EV chargers for installation.
In July 2022, EVgo entered into the Delta Charger Supply Agreement and the Purchase Order with Delta, pursuant to which EVgo will purchase and Delta will sell EV chargers manufactured by Delta from time to time in specified quantities at certain delivery dates over a period of four years. EVgo is obligated to purchase at least 1,000 chargers (which will enable the construction of 2,000 stalls) pursuant to the Delta Charger Supply Agreement and the Purchase Order with the option, at EVgo’s election, to increase the number of chargers purchased to 1,100. Under the terms of the Purchase Order, EVgo is required to make full payment on such chargers within 60 days of receipt. EVgo’s obligations under the Purchase Order are take-or-pay obligations; however, EVgo’s liability is capped at a maximum of the greater of $30.0 million or 50% of the value of any outstanding firm orders. EVgo entered into the Delta Charger Supply Agreement and Purchase Order in order to meet its obligations under the Pilot Infrastructure Agreement, other potential contractual commitments and its own needs and intends to fund the capital expenditure required under the Delta Charger Supply Agreement and Purchase Order with proceeds from the Pilot Infrastructure Agreement as well as cash and cash equivalents on hand.
The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement commenced upon the completion of the CRIS Business Combination and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement have been utilized or expired and all required payments are made, unless the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early (including upon a change of control). The actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement are unknown at this time and will vary based on a number of factors. However, the Company Group expects that the payments that it will be required to make to TRA Holders in connection with the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Any payments made by the Company Group to TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of cash that might have otherwise been available to EVgo or EVgo OpCo. To the extent EVgo OpCo has available cash and subject to the terms of any current or future debt or other agreements, the EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement will require EVgo OpCo to make pro rata cash distributions to holders of EVgo OpCo Units, including Thunder Sub, in an amount sufficient to allow the Company Group to pay its taxes and to make payments under the Tax Receivable
50
Agreement. EVgo generally expects EVgo OpCo to fund such distributions out of available cash. However, except in cases where the Company Group elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control, or the Company Group has available cash but fails to make payments when due, generally the Company Group may elect to defer payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement if it does not have available cash to satisfy its payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or if its contractual obligations limit its ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest at the rate provided for in the Tax Receivable Agreement and such interest may significantly exceed the Company Group’s other costs of capital. In certain circumstances (including an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement due to a change of control or otherwise), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company Group realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In the case of such an acceleration in connection with a change of control, where applicable, EVgo generally expects the accelerated payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement to be funded out of the proceeds of the change of control transaction giving rise to such acceleration, which could have a significant impact on EVgo’s ability to consummate a change of control or the proceeds received by EVgo’s stockholders in connection with a change of control. However, the Company Group may be required to fund such payment from other sources and, as a result, any early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on EVgo’s liquidity or financial condition.
Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $5.6 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The year-over-year change primarily reflected a $18.9 million increase in cash flows from operations, an $14.1 million increase in cash inflows from accounts receivable, net, and an $11.0 million increase in cash flows from other current and noncurrent liabilities, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in cash flows from deferred revenue, a $2.6 million decrease in cash flows from accounts payable, and a $1.8 million decrease in cash flows from prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $70.9 million, compared to $123.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in purchases of property, equipment and software.
Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $9.6 million compared to $135.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by the proceeds from the issuance of Class A common stock in the Company’s underwritten equity offering during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Working Capital. EVgo’s working capital as of September 30, 2024 was $121.6 million, compared to $178.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by a $55.7 million decrease in the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and a $10.8 million increase in other current liabilities, partially offset by a $6.5 million increase in accounts receivable, capital-build, and a $5.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments. EVgo has material cash requirements for known contractual obligations and commitments in the form of operating leases, purchase commitments and certain other liabilities that are disclosed in
51
“Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies.” EVgo generally expects to fund these obligations through its existing cash and cash equivalents and future financing or cash flows from operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of EVgo’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon EVgo’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of EVgo’s financial statements requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases these estimates on its historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results experienced may vary materially and adversely from EVgo’s estimates. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively. See “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional detail regarding the significant accounting policies that have been followed in preparing EVgo’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accounting policies described below are those EVgo considers to be the most critical to an understanding of its financial condition and results of operations and that require the most complex and subjective management judgment. EVgo considers its critical accounting estimates to be those related to its revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and warrant liabilities, which are described below.
Revenue Recognition
EVgo recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Recording revenue may require judgment, including determining whether an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations, whether any of those obligations are distinct and cannot be combined and allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). Revenue for performance obligations can be recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the nature of the performance obligation. Changes to the elements in an arrangement or, in EVgo’s determination, to the relative SSP for these elements, could materially affect the amount of earned and unearned revenue reflected in its consolidated financial statements.
Understanding the complex terms of some of EVgo’s agreements and determining the appropriate time, amount and method under which the Company should recognize revenue for the related transactions requires significant judgment. The Company exercises judgment in determining which promises in a contract constitute performance obligations rather than set-up activities. The Company determines which activities under a contract transfer a good or service to a customer rather than activities that are required to fulfill a contract but do not transfer control of a good or service to the customer. Determining whether obligations in a contract are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or as a single performance obligation requires significant judgment. In reaching its conclusion, the Company assesses the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including whether the services are significantly integrated which may require judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract. The Company does not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice and (ii) contracts with variable consideration allocated entirely to a single performance obligation. The Company’s remaining performance obligations under these contracts include providing charging services, branding services, and maintenance services, which will generally be recognized over the contract term. The Company’s customer contracts may include variable consideration such as that due to the unknown number of users that will receive charging credits or an unknown number of sites that will receive maintenance services. For such variable consideration, the Company has determined it is not necessary to estimate variable consideration as the uncertainty resolves itself monthly in accordance with the contracts’ revenue recognition pattern. The timing and amount of revenue recognition in a period could vary if different judgments were made. The Company may also estimate variable consideration under the expected value method or the most likely amount method.
Additionally, where there are multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine revenue for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative SSP for contracts that contain multiple performance obligations requires significant judgment to appropriately determine the suitable method for estimating the SSP. EVgo determines
52
SSP using observable pricing when available, which takes into consideration market conditions and customer specific factors.
At contract inception, EVgo determines whether EVgo satisfies the performance obligation over time or at a point in time. Revenues from charging – OEM are primarily recognized ratably over time or as fee-bearing usage occurs. Revenues from charging – retail, charging – commercial and LCFS are usage-based services and recognized over time or at a point in time upon the delivery of the charging products or services. eXtend and ancillary revenues are recognized over time based on a time-based or cost-based approach or at a point in time as performance obligations are satisfied.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Assets
The Company has one reporting unit and performs its annual goodwill impairment testing on October 1 each year. In assessing the possibility that a reporting unit’s fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates, the Company considers all available evidence, including (i) the results of impairment testing from the most recent testing date (in particular, the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed), (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, decreases in market multiples (and the magnitude thereof) or changes to interest rates, if any, and (iii) declines in market capitalization below book value (and the magnitude and duration of those declines), if any.
The Company determines fair value using the market approach, when available and appropriate, or the income approach, or a combination of both and assesses the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time the valuation is performed. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are weighted appropriately.
Valuations using the market approach are derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the Company operates giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. A market approach is used if there are publicly traded companies that have characteristics similar to EVgo’s business.
Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The Company uses its internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and includes an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on the most recent views of the long-term outlook for the business. Discount rates are derived using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for relevant industries to estimate the cost of equity financing. The discount rates used are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in EVgo’s business and in its internally developed forecasts.
Estimating the fair value of the reporting unit requires the use of significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results, internal forecasts, market observable pricing multiples of similar businesses and comparable transactions, possible control premiums, determining the appropriate discount rate and long-term growth rate assumptions, and, if multiple approaches are being used, determining the appropriate weighting applied to each approach. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.
The Company reviews identified intangible assets with defined useful lives and subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss has occurred requires the use of internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and the useful life over which these cash flows will occur. To determine fair value, the Company uses its internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate discount rate.
Warrant Liabilities
EVgo accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC

480 and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to EVgo’s common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of EVgo’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end-date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in “changes in fair value of warrant liabilities” in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants on the date of issuance and on each measurement date is estimated by reference to the trading price of the public warrants, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement, or using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement and includes inputs such as EVgo’s stock price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term, the expected volatility, the dividend rate, the exercise price and the number of Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model are subjective and require significant judgment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of EVgo’s new or recently adopted accounting pronouncements, see “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act includes provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. Following the CRIS Business Combination, EVgo has qualified as an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) under the JOBS Act and, as a result, is permitted to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (i.e., not publicly traded) companies. EVgo elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards and as a result, EVgo may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, EVgo’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
As an EGC, EVgo is not required to, among other things, (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on EVgo’s system of internal control over financial reporting, (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-EGC public companies, (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (d) disclose comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the Initial Public Offering or until EVgo otherwise no longer qualifies as an EGC.
Additionally, immediately following the CRIS Business Combination, EVgo qualified as a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the Exchange Act for so long as either (i) the market value of shares of its common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) its annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of shares of its common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If EVgo is a smaller reporting company at the time it ceases to be an EGC, EVgo may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically EVgo may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and has reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and, similar to EGCs, if EVgo is a smaller reporting company under the requirements of (ii) above, EVgo would not be required to obtain an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by its independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Per Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “certifying officers”), the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024. The certifying officers concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024; accordingly, the Company is implementing additional policies and procedures to remediate these shortcomings as outlined in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, the Company’s management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the continued implementation of the remediation policies and procedures described in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
Existing Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management previously identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as identified below and disclosed in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified: due to an ineffective information and communication process to ensure the completeness and accuracy of underlying data and reports, the Company did not effectively design, implement and operate process-level controls and effective general information technology (“IT”) controls relevant to its financial reporting processes.
