- Electrify America and EVgo recently announced an interoperability agreement that increases access to EV charging stations
Electrify America and EVgo recently announced an interoperability agreement that increases access to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations throughout the country. And the roaming partnership allows drivers to charge their EVs on both EVgo and Electrify America public chargers without additional fees, using their existing accounts for a seamless experience.
“As the demand for EVs continues to increase and create the need for more EV charging stations, we understand the importance of making access to public chargers as easy as possible for current and future EV drivers,” said Electrify America president and CEO Giovanni Palazzo. “Connecting our two networks helps ensure EV drivers have the freedom to travel on their terms without concerns of where to charge their EV along the way.”
Plus drivers will be able to access public chargers on either the EVgo or Electrify America networks without having to create new memberships, registrations, or payment methods. And the agreement will connect more than 3,000 DC fast chargers at more than 1,000 stations from EVgo and Electrify America, two of the nation’s largest owner/operators of charging stations that continue to expand their networks as the number of EVs on the road grows significantly in the coming years.
“EVgo is committed to cross-industry collaboration to make fast charging for EV drivers as convenient as going to an ATM,” added EVgo CEO Cathy Zoi. “Since 2010, EVgo has been working to provide convenient and reliable fast charging across the country, and this new partnership will help to further accelerate EV adoption by providing even more options to drivers wherever they need them most.”
Electrify America announced a similar agreement with ChargePoint earlier this year. And the company also has similar agreements in place for L2 chargers with Greenlots, Sema Connect, and EV Connect. And EVgo has also announced bilateral interoperability agreements with ChargePoint, EV Connect, and Sema Connect.
