EVgo owns and operates the nation’s largest public DC fast-charging network for EVs by number of locations and is the first EV charging network in the United States powered by 100% renewable electricity, through the use of renewable energy credits (RECs).

EVgo seeks to locate its charging infrastructure in high traffic, high density, urban, suburban and exurban locations to provide EV drivers of all types with easy access to convenient, reliable high-speed charging.

EVgo’s network is currently capable of natively charging (i.e., charging without an adaptor) all EV models and charging standards currently available in the U.S., and serves a wide variety of private retail and fleet customers.

Founded in 2010, EVgo has been a leader and innovator in the EV charging space and is well-positioned to continue to capitalize on its sustainable first-mover and first-learner advantages as EV adoption accelerates.

To take advantage of the expected rapid growth in North American EVs on the road, EVgo is rapidly expanding its network of owned charging stations, prioritizing development of locations with favorable traffic and utilization characteristics.

EVgo’s primary business is the provision of EV charging services to individual EV drivers, fleet customers, and fleet owners through its owned infrastructure.

As the owner of charging infrastructure, EVgo also monetizes regulatory credits generated by its charging activities.

EVgo partners with a wide range of automotive OEMs, transportation network companies (“TNCs”), rideshare operators and other channel partners to build chargers in locations important to those partners, acquire EV customers and provide charging services to EV owners and drivers.

Additionally, EVgo develops and deploys charging solutions for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty EV fleets and other fleet partners, in which it may retain ownership of the charging infrastructure in exchange for contractual or guaranteed payment streams or may pursue other business models to take advantage of these incremental revenue streams.

EVgo is currently piloting and expects to offer its charging as a service (“ChaaS”) solution and additional cloud-based, value-added services to drivers and partners to enhance the customer experience by layering EVgo’s proprietary technology functionality on top of its charging network.

These include smart reservations, loyalty and microtargeted advertisement programs, seamless entry to parking garage pay gates, shopping coupons and Autocharge, a technology that allows registered customers to use their vehicles as identification and authorization for fast-charging, thus bypassing the need for separate payment.

EVgo undertakes and manages the siting, development and installation of the charging stations, operates and maintains the stations for use by EV drivers, and typically retains ownership of the chargers.

EVgo uses software-enabled functionality of its network to provide remote monitoring and management of the charging stations, to manage all aspects of vehicle charging, backend operations and payment processing, and to convey real-time information on station location, status, charging equipment availability and pricing to EV drivers and partners.

EVgo designs its network of fast charging stations to continue to scale with rapid electrification of transportation and meet all major customer use cases and requirements expected in its served markets.

EVgo has established fleet relationships with automotive OEMs such as GM, Tesla, Nissan and BMW;

rideshare and other fleets such as Uber and Lyft;

site hosts such as Whole Foods, Safeway and Kroger;

state governments including California, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington;

and a wide range of electric utilities.

EVgo believes these fleet

relationships will facilitate EVgo’s long-term growth at or above the unprecedented rate of growth of the EV market generally over the next several years.

EVgo has multiple channels through which it earns revenue.

COVID-19 Outbreak

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of numerous actions taken by governments, governmental agencies, multilateral organizations and other entities in an attempt to mitigate the spread of the virus.

These measures have resulted in a significant reduction in worldwide economic activity and extreme volatility in the global financial markets which have affected new car sales, including EVs, and significantly reduced people’s mobility, and the accompanying demand for charging services.

EVgo experienced a significant decline in monthly GWh throughput beginning in March 2020.

Between March and July 2020, EVgo deactivated chargers due to decreased usage as a result of COVID-19, experiencing downtime when host sites were closed.

As economic activity has resumed and new EV sales have increased, charging revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was higher than the last pre-COVID quarter, the three months ended December 31, 2019, by 40%.

The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted EVgo’s operations through construction delays and supply chain and shipping constraints.

EVgo delayed operational dates of over 400 chargers by six to nine months due to delays in various stages of site planning and construction caused by COVID-19.

When governments and businesses shut down in response to shelter in place orders and other similar actions by state and local governments, permitting, inspection and other city and municipal services were suspended or otherwise impacted, and EVgo had reduced access to host sites for construction and on-site survey and design.

EVgo also experienced delays in its site host negotiations as hosts devoted more time to day-to-day operations and employee health and safety.

Finally, for some contractual commitments, EVgo is required to adhere to a construction schedule over specific timeframes.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in significant volatility in the global and domestic economies, changes in consumer and business behavior, market downturns and restrictions on business and individual activities, which has led to overall reduced economic activity.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted EVgo’s operations through reduced network throughput, construction delays and supply chain and shipping constraints.

EVgo also experienced delays in its Site Host negotiations as they devoted more time to day-to-day operations and employee health and safety.

Finally, for some contractual commitments, EVgo is

required to adhere to a construction schedule over specific timeframes.

Those timelines were impacted due to delays associated with COVID-19, and it is possible that the ongoing pandemic could continue to impact these timelines in the future.

As part of the modified business practices in response to COVID-19, the incremental costs encompassed mainly the purchase of personal protective equipment, a subscription to Go Evo, a COVID-19 employee screening app, and COVID-19 testing expenses, which in total were not material.

How COVID-19 will affect EVgo’s future business results is unclear.

While the disruption is expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration and magnitude of this disruption.

The Company expects continued significant, negative impacts to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows in 2021 and beyond as charging revenue and regulatory credit sales are expected to decrease significantly due to the disruption.

Development and commissioning lead times are expected to be extended as a result of the lockdowns and other measures taken by the state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID 19.

The extent of the financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

CRIS PIPE ONE, LLC purchased 500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the PIPE for a total purchase price of $5,000,000.

Comstock, a member of EVgo Inc.’s board of directors, is an investor in CRIS PIPE ONE, LLC.

In addition, the PIMCO private funds or their affiliates purchased 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in the PIPE for a total purchase price of $50,000,000.

The PIPE financing was consummated concurrently with the closing of the CRIS Business Combination.

The purpose of the PIPE is to raise additional capital for use by EVgo following the closing of the CRIS Business Combination.

The shares of Class B common stock of CRIS automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the CRIS Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.

In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities were issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of an Initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock of CRIS converted into shares of Class A common stock were adjusted so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock of CRIS equaled, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the CRIS Business Combination (excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the CRIS Business Combination, and any private placement equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

Following the CRIS Business Combination, CRIS was renamed “EVgo Inc.” The CRIS Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization.

EVgo OpCo was deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity was the successor registrant of the CRIS Business Combination, meaning that EVgo OpCo’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Under this method of accounting, CRIS was treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes.

Recargo acquisition

On July 9, 2021, a subsidiary of EVgo acquired Recargo from an affiliate of innogy SE, a European electric utility company based in Germany, for $25.0 million in cash, including repayment of $3.0 million of indebtedness, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 9, 2021, by and among innogy e-Mobility US LLC, innogy SE solely in its capacity as guarantor, and EVgo Recargo HoldCo LLC.

Recargo is an electric vehicle (EV) cloud-based data solution provider formed in 2009 and focused on EV app development, market research, data licensing, reporting and advertising.

Development and commissioning lead times may be extended as a result of the measures taken by the state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The further extent of the financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Government EV Initiatives

In order to encourage the use of EVs, the U.S.

federal government as well as state and local governments offer a variety of incentives and rebates.

In November 2021, Congress passed and the President signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Among other provisions, this legislation included up to $7.5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure through the Department of Transportation.

federal government offers a tax credit for qualified plug-in EVs;

the minimum credit is $2,500, and the maximum credit is $7,500, depending on vehicle weight and battery capacity.

(“Tesla”), but legislation under consideration in Congress, if enacted as currently proposed, would alleviate the manufacturer cap and expand the credit both for used and new electric vehicles.

States including California, Colorado, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York also offer various rebates, grants and tax credits to incentivize both EV and EVSE purchases.

EVs are also gaining momentum in the Midwest, and soon states like Illinois will also begin to offer vehicle and EVSE incentives.

Demand for EVs has also been encouraged by regulatory developments and changes in consumer habits.

Several states — including California, Oregon, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Massachusetts — have adopted or proposed mandates for EVs with the goal of more than 8.0 million EVs on the road by 2030.

In September 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order, announcing a target for all in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks to be zero-emission by 2035.

And, in January 2022, Governor Newsom introduced a $10 billion zero-emission vehicle package to accelerate this transition.

Additionally, California has enacted its Clean Miles Standard aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from TNCs, such as rideshare vehicles, through electrification and other means.

In 2021, California also approved the Advanced Clean Truck Rule (“ACT rule”), a regulation that requires an increasing percentage of medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold in the state to be zero emissions.

Washington, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Oregon have also adopted the ACT rule.

EVgo believes these regulations, combined with a shift toward car-sharing and mobility as a service offering as well as broader fleet sustainability trends, will rapidly accelerate EV adoption by fleets in the coming years.

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.

● EV drivers’ usage pattern .

EVgo’s revenues are driven by EV drivers’ driving and charging behaviors.

The EV market is still developing and current behavioral patterns may not be representative of future behaviors.

Key behavioral shifts may include but are not limited to:

annual vehicle miles traveled, preferences for urban, suburban or exurban locations, preferences for public or private fast charging, preference for home or workplace charging, demand from rideshare or urban delivery services, and the emergence of autonomous vehicles, micromobility and mobility as-a-service platforms requiring EV charging services.

Electrification of Fleets

EVgo management projects meaningful revenue contribution from light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleet charging as commercial and government fleet owners accelerate electrification initiatives.

EVgo faces competition in the fleet segment, including from certain fleet customers who may opt to install and own the charging equipment on their property, but believes its unique set of offerings to fleets and existing charging network positions EVgo advantageously to win business from fleets.

EVgo faces competition in the emerging fleet electrification segment, including from certain fleet customers who may opt to install and own the charging equipment on their property, but believes its unique set of offerings to fleets and 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 legacy internal combustion engine vehicles.

EVgo’s, and other competitors’, ability to offer competitive charging services and value-added ancillary services may impact the cadence at which fleets electrify and impact EVgo’s ability to capture market share in fleets.

EVgo’s, and other competitors’, ability to offer competitive charging services and value-added ancillary services may impact the cadence 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.

EVgo’s management is currently monitoring several key rules that may encourage fleet electrification including California’s Advanced Clean Truck Rule and the implementation of California’s Clean Miles Standard as well as similar proposals in other zero emission vehicle states.

● Competition .

EVgo’s management is currently monitoring several key rules that may encourage fleet electrification, including California’s ACT rule and the implementation of California’s Clean Miles Standard, as well as similar proposals in other zero emission vehicle states and potential action at the federal level.

and access to equipment vendors, 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.

● Regulatory environment .

EVgo is subject to federal, state and local regulations including consumer laws and regulations, tax laws and regulations, consumer privacy laws and regulations, engineering and civil and electrical construction laws and regulations.

EVgo’s current business plan assumes no material change in these laws and regulations.

In the event any such change occurs, compliance with new laws and regulations might significantly affect EVgo operations and cost of doing business.

Government Mandates, Incentives and Programs

1 unchanged sentence

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.

However, these incentives may expire on specified dates, end when the allocated funding is no longer available, or be reduced or terminated as a matter of regulatory or legislative policy.

In particular, the credits under Section 30C of the Code, and state, local and utility funding allocations may sunset or become fully utilized without renewal.

There can be no assurance that any of these programs, including credits under Section 30C will have sufficient availability or be extended, or if extended, will not be otherwise reduced.

Any reduction in rebates, tax credits, grants or other financial incentives, including the credits under Section 30C of the Code, could negatively affect the EV market and adversely impact EVgo’s business operations and expansion potential.

For example, EVgo has historically benefitted from the availability of federal tax credits under Section 30C of the Code.

The credits under Section 30C of the Code expired on December 31, 2021, and thus, are not available going forward for EV charging stations placed in service after such date unless such credits are extended retroactively.

Current legislation proposals include an extension of the credits under Section 30C of the Code as of and after December 31, 2021.

In addition, in November 2021, Congress passed and the President signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which included up to $7.5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure through the Department of Transportation.

federal government offers a tax credit for qualified plug-in EVs;

the minimum credit is $2,500 and the maximum credit is $7,500, depending on vehicle weight and battery capacity.

These credits will begin to phase out when the vehicle manufacturer reaches certain production levels, and such credit has already been completely phased out for EVs manufactured by GM and Tesla, but legislation under consideration in Congress, if enacted as currently proposed, would alleviate the manufacturer cap and expand the credit both for used and new electric vehicles.

Various states also offer various rebates, grants and tax credits to incentivize both EV and EVSE purchases and have adopted or proposed mandates for EVs as well

as mandates that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through electrification such as California’s Clean Miles Standard and the ACT rule.

There can be no assurance that any of these programs will have sufficient availability or be extended, or if extended, that such extension will be effective retroactively or that these programs will not be otherwise reduced.

Any reduction in rebates, tax credits, grants or other financial incentives could negatively affect the EV market and adversely impact EVgo’s business operations and expansion potential.

In addition, there is no assurance EVgo will have the necessary tax attributes to utilize any such credits and may not be able to monetize them given the nascent state of the market for such credits or be able to monetize such credits on favorable terms.

New tariffs and policies that could incentivize overbuilding of infrastructure may also have a negative impact on the economics of EVgo’s stations.

Furthermore, future tariffs and policy incentives may favor equipment manufactured or assembled at American factories, which may put EVgo’s fast charging equipment vendors at a competitive disadvantage, including by increasing the cost or delaying the availability of charging equipment, by challenging or eliminating EVgo’s ability to apply or qualify for grants and other government incentives, or by disqualifying EVgo from the ability to compete for certain charging infrastructure buildout solicitations and programs, including those initiated by federal government agencies.

Furthermore, future tariffs and policy incentives may favor equipment manufactured or assembled at American factories, which may or may not put EVgo’s fast charging equipment vendors at a competitive disadvantage, including by increasing the cost or delaying the availability of charging equipment, by challenging or eliminating EVgo’s ability to apply or qualify for grants and other government incentives, or by disqualifying EVgo from the ability to compete for certain charging infrastructure buildout solicitations and programs, including those initiated by federal government agencies.

Technology Risks

3 unchanged sentences

There is a risk that some or all of the components of the EV technology ecosystem become obsolete and EVgo will be required to make significant investment to continue to effectively operate its business.

EVgo’s management believes EVgo’s “build, own and operate” 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.

If these programs are modified, reduced or eliminated, EVgo’s ability to generate this revenue in the future would be adversely impacted.

In addition to current programs, EVgo’s management is currently monitoring proposed programs in Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, Washington, New Mexico and several other states, along with a potential federal program, as potential future revenue streams.

Results of Operations

EVgo accounted for its acquisition by LS Power as a business combination under the terms of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).

Pursuant to ASC 805, EVgo elected to apply push-down accounting.

Under this method, the purchase price is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

Any excess of the amount paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill.

Refer to Note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 for EVgo Holdco, included in the Super 8-K, for additional information.

As a result of the acquisition, EVgo’s consolidated financial statements for the period from and after January 16, 2020 are presented on a different basis than that for the periods before January 16, 2020 due to the application of purchase accounting as of acquisition date and, therefore, are not comparable.

The acquisition resulted in the following principal impacts for the period subsequent to the acquisition date:

● Increased depreciation, amortization, and accretion in operating expenses resulting from recording of tangible and intangible assets at fair value;

● Increased interest expense resulting from entering into the LS Power Note with EVgo Holdings in conjunction with the close of the business combination;

● Increased stock-based compensation expense resulting from the share-based compensation plan formed in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement.

EVgo believes reviewing its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 by combining results of the 2020 predecessor period and 2020 successor period is more useful in discussing overall operating performance when compared to the 2021 successor period.

Results presented separately for the predecessor period and successor period are included within the financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $1.1 million, or 137%, to $1.9 million compared to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The increase was related to increased borrowings under the LS Power Note entered into in January 2020.

Other income, net

Other income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $9.7 million, or 95%, to $0.5 million compared to $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income from one of the capital build programs that ended during 2020.

Other (expense) income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $0.7 million, or 157%, to other expense, net, of $0.3 million compared to other income, net, of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in unrealized gain on marketable securities.

Changes in Fair Values of Warrant and Earnout Liabilities

The change in the fair values of the warrant and earnout liabilities were due to the liabilities that were assumed in connection with the CRIS Business Combination.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there was a $49.6 million gain due to the change in the Company’s stock price from the CRIS Close Date through September 30, 2021 .

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was a $25.1 million loss primarily due to a change in the fair values of the liabilities during the first quarter of 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, EVgo’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rates were deemed to be de minimis as the current income tax benefit was offset by the change in the valuation allowance.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $55.3 million, a $38.7 million, or 233%, increase compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The increased loss was primarily due to the increased general and administrative expenses incurred to support growth;

the depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses incurred due to an increased number of chargers in EVgo’s network and the PlugShare acquisition, as well as the reduction of other expense, net, driven by a $25.1 million change in the fair value of the warrant and earnout liabilities.
