For the three months ending June 30, 2026, EVgo reported total revenue of $82.6 million, reflecting a decrease of $15.4 million, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2025. This decline was primarily driven by a significant drop in eXtend and AV and ancillary revenue, despite a noteworthy increase in charging network revenue.

- AV and Ancillary Revenue: Decreased by $5.6 million, or 64%, primarily attributed to reduced revenue from sales-type lease arrangements.
