Autocharge+ allows EV drivers to seamlessly
initiate a charging session by simply plugging in their vehicle to
an EVgo fast charger
EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ: EVGO) (EVgo), the nation’s largest public
fast charging network for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced
the launch of Autocharge+, setting a new standard for EV
convenience by enabling streamlined charging for EV drivers across
the country. With Autocharge+, which is available at all EVgo DC
fast charging locations, drivers with compatible EVs are able to
start a charging session in seconds by simply plugging in –
eliminating the need to swipe a credit card, tap an EVgo Program
Card (RFID), or open an app to initiate a session.
“EVgo believes every step of the charging experience must be
convenient and easy, including locating and reserving a charger,
finding nearby shopping and experiences, and now with Autocharge+,
seamlessly initiating a charging session,” said Ivo Steklac, Chief
Technology Officer at EVgo. “The modern digital technology we’ve
built is making charging an EV even simpler than fueling up at a
gas station. Autocharge+ is game-changing just like mobile wallets
and same-day delivery have become, once again demonstrating EVgo’s
leadership in delivering cutting-edge charging services for EV
drivers.”
Autocharge+ arrives on the heels of EVgo’s recently announced
availability of Plug and Charge for all General Motor EVs with fast
charging capabilities on the EVgo network. The launch makes the
convenience of Autocharge+, previously deployed for EVgo’s fleet
customers, now available to all drivers with a compatible CCS EV.*
Many CCS EV models are Autocharge+ compatible, including the
Cadillac LYRIQ, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Ford Mustang
Mach-E, Ford F-150 Lightning, Genesis GV60, GMC Hummer EV, Hyundai
Ioniq Electric, Hyundai Kona Electric, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia Niro
Electric, Kia EV8, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Polestar 2, Subaru Solterra,
Toyota bZ4x, and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
Autocharge+ is available exclusively to EVgo customers. To take
advantage of the new feature, existing and new customers will need
to enroll their EV in the EVgo app by navigating to the vehicle
section, adding or selecting their EV, and request to enroll**.
Note that to complete enrollment, drivers must then plug into an
EVgo charger.

*EV models that use CHAdeMO connectors do not have a unique
identifier, and therefore cannot use Autocharge+.
**GM drivers can enroll in GM’s Plug and Charge and EVgo
Autocharge using the GM app for their specific model (e.g.
myChevrolet, myCadillac, etc.), and don’t need to be at a charger
to complete enrollment.
