Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and prepared in accordance with 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited 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 and comprehensive income (loss), condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ and member’s equity (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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These unaudited 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, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). 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 condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, charging station depreciable lives, costs associated with asset retirement obligations, the fair value of the share-based compensation, earnout liability, warrant liability and the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities allocated for acquired businesses. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Concentration of Business and Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash accounts in a commercial bank. The total cash balances held in a commercial bank are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At various times, the Company has uninsured balances. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company mitigates its risk with respect to cash by maintaining its deposits at high-quality financial institutions and monitoring the credit ratings of those institutions. The Company had three customers that comprised 36.2% of the Company’s total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022. The Company had two customers that comprised 32.4% of the Company’s total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, one customer represented 17.2% and one customer represented 12.0% of total revenue, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, EVgo had three vendors that provided 87.3% and 78.3%, respectively, of total charging equipment and services to the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, EVgo had one vendor that provided 11.0% and 13.0%, respectively, of total charging equipment and services to the Company. Cash 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. The Company does not hold any highly liquid assets that can be considered cash equivalents. Cash that is held by a major bank and has restrictions on its availability to the Company is classified as restricted cash. The Company had unused letters of credit of $0.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, associated with the construction of its charging stations and in connection with one of its operating leases. Cash balances collateralizing these letters of credit are considered restricted cash. 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. Investments Available-for-sale Debt Securities Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses that are considered to be temporary are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. All other investments are classified as long-term. The Company evaluates the available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other than temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell the securities before the securities' anticipated recovery, which may be at maturity. Realized gains and losses are accounted for using the specific identification method. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. All of the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in a realized loss of $0.2 million. Prior to the sale, EVgo’s investment portfolio primarily included corporate debt securities, asset backed securities, U.S. government treasury securities, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). Subsequent to the initial ASU, the FASB issued various related corrective and clarifying ASUs for this topic, all of which have been codified in ASC 842. ASC 842 requires lessees to report most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method as allowed under ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which includes the ability for the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of the adoption being recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients which allows the Company to carry forward its identification of contracts that are or contain leases, its historical lease classification and its initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The Company also elected to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis without recognizing a right-of-use asset or lease liability. As of the adoption date, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $19.1 million and $18.4 million, respectively. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities was primarily due to existing prepaid and accrued rent balances. There was no impact to opening accumulated deficit as a result of the Company’s adoption of the guidance. The adoption of this standard for both lessee and lessor accounting did not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows or operating loss in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Refer to Note 5 for additional information. On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022, to be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The amendments in ASC 326 will provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Subsequent to the initial ASU, the FASB issued various related corrective and clarifying ASUs for this topic, all of which have been codified in ASC 326. For public companies that are considered “smaller reporting companies” as defined by the SEC, ASC 326 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of 2023 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), as if it had originated the contracts. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard will impact future business combinations and require the Company to measure acquired contract assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 606. The Company expects the adoption of the standard to result in measuring acquired contract assets and liabilities as if it had originated the contracts. The standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the effective date of adoption. In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This ASU provided guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to provide the following annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy: (1) information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions, (2) the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and, (3) significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. This update will be effective for the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect this accounting guidance to materially impact its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
