EVgo to deploy hundreds of Tesla V4 Superchargers across US cities under licensing deal
By Eve
EVgo will install hundreds of Tesla V4 Superchargers at its stations in major US cities, becoming one of the first US networks to build Tesla's own charger design under the Supercharger for Business programme. Each V4 unit will deliver up to 500 kW at 1,000 volts and feature Magic Dock technology for both NACS and CCS1 vehicles. Construction begins autumn 2025, with first sites opening in the second half of 2026, as part of EVgo's broader expansion backed by a $1.25 billion federal loan to add 7,500 new charging stalls nationwide.
Why it matters
The licensing arrangement shows a new procurement route for charge point operators seeking Tesla hardware without full franchise commitments, while the 500 kW specification and dual connector compatibility may influence technical requirements in upcoming tenders. EVgo reports 700% demand growth over three years, signalling accelerating utilisation that could inform business case assumptions for public and private site hosts.

Tesla files permit for Semi service centre in Las Vegas as production ramps
Tesla has filed a building permit with Clark County, Nevada, for a dedicated Tesla Semi service centre at 3780 N Las Vegas Boulevard, marking one of the first concrete steps in building the service network for its electric Class 8 truck, which entered volume production two weeks ago. The site is a tenant improvement in a new shell building within the LV Logistics One industrial development, with neighbouring facilities offering 152,256 square feet, 32 foot clear height and 20 dock high doors. The permit status is awaiting plans, indicating construction drawings have not yet been submitted.
Why it matters
The filing signals Tesla is moving beyond production to establish the aftermarket infrastructure required to support commercial fleet operators, a critical step for CPOs and logistics firms evaluating Semi adoption. Las Vegas sits on the I-15 corridor, positioning the facility to serve a major freight route as Tesla scales deployment.
Tesla Cybertruck deliveries fall to 7,000 to 8,000 units in Q3 2026, far below 250,000 annual target
Tesla delivered 8,295 vehicles in its Other Models category in Q3 2026, down 48% year on year and the lowest since Q2 2021, with an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 units being Cybertrucks following the end of Model S and Model X production in April. The quarterly figure suggests an annual run rate of around 30,000 Cybertrucks, well short of the 250,000 capacity Tesla planned for the line. Production of Other Models fell 40% to 7,004 units in the quarter.
Why it matters
Weak Cybertruck uptake signals limited commercial fleet appetite for Tesla's electric pickup, potentially opening market share for rival electric vans and trucks that CPOs and fleet operators may favour for depot charging projects. Lower than expected production volumes also reduce the scale of any associated charging infrastructure rollout tied to Tesla's commercial vehicle ambitions.
Ionna to train dealership staff on EV charging at hundreds of US sites from Q1 2027
Ionna, the fast charging network backed by eight automakers including Toyota, Honda, GM, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis, will launch a dealership training programme in the first quarter of 2027 targeting several hundred locations across Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Dallas, San Francisco, San Jose and Raleigh. CEO Seth Cutler told Business Insider the network has grown from 90 active stations in January 2025 to 191 in early October, with 200 expected this month, though that remains far smaller than Tesla's 3,000 plus US sites.
Why it matters
The training push signals Ionna's strategy to address charging anxiety through dealer education rather than hardware alone, potentially influencing how OEM backed networks compete for highway and urban corridor contracts. For procurement teams, the programme flags which metro areas Ionna sees as expansion priorities through 2027.
