EVGO CONFIRMS RECEIPT OF UNSOLICITED AND NON-BINDING TAKE PRIVATE PROPOSAL
EVgo Inc. (EVGO) filed an SEC Form 8-K — Other Events. Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EVGO CONFIRMS RECEIPT OF UNSOLICITED AND NON-BINDING TAKE PRIVATE PROPOSAL LOS ANGELES , November 2, 2026 -- EVgo Inc.

How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The disclosure increases takeover optionality and can affect trading in EVgo shares and any related hedges, but it does not commit EVgo to pursue a transaction or confirm deal likelihood.
Market read
Traders should monitor EVgo’s committee process and any follow-on filings for indications of negotiations, rejection, or competing bids.
What to watch
Key near-term driver is whether EVgo’s special committee retains advisors and whether any competing bids surface; absent that, the $2.00 figure may not translate into a transaction premium.
Background
EVgo is a public fast-charging infrastructure provider. The company disclosed that its board received a take-private proposal from LS Power Equity Advisors and will review it via an independent special committee.
Ticker impact
EVgo confirms receipt of an unsolicited, non-binding take-private proposal at $2.00 per share and forms a special committee to review it.
Likely near-term support from takeover speculation, with upside capped until EVgo signals acceptance or a higher bid emerges.
The filing is a primary disclosure of a $2.00 per-share proposal and committee formation, but it is explicitly non-binding and no decisions have been made.
Market effects
Could modestly lift sentiment around public EV charging infrastructure names by highlighting consolidation interest, though the news is single-company.
Primarily US-listed EV charging and infrastructure sentiment; limited spillover beyond US small/mid-cap takeover watchlists.
Low global relevance; takeover dynamics are company-specific.
Counterpoint
Because the proposal is unsolicited and non-binding, the market may overprice takeover odds; EVgo could reject or negotiate without reaching a deal.
