Spotlight: EVgo
Meet EVgo… e-mobility enabler and the #SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day for August 14.
EVgo is on a mission: to expedite mass adoption of electric vehicles by creating a convenient, reliable and affordable EV charging network that delivers fast charging to everyone.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Los Angeles, today EVgo is one of the nation’s largest public fast-charging networks for electric vehicles, with more than 1,100 fast charging stations across 40 states resulting in 145+ million people in the U.S. living within 10 miles of an EVgo charger. The company strategically deploys localized and accessible charging infrastructure by partnering with leading businesses across the U.S., including retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping centers, gas stations, rideshare operators and autonomous vehicle companies. By prioritizing installations in both high-traffic corridors and underserved communities, EVgo is helping remove friction from e-mobility, making it easier for more drivers to choose electric and contribute to a lower-carbon future.
To complement its sustainability contributions, EVgo has matched the electricity used across its network with 100% renewable energy credits, ensuring every mile charged is cleaner. When a charger reaches the end of its useful life, EVgo works with Homeboy Electronics Recycling, an R2 certified electronics recycler and a B Corp™, to reuse parts wherever possible, recycle valuable materials and reduce waste.
EVgo also operates PlugShare, a set of apps and website that help EV drivers to choose and route themselves to the best charging locations in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. As the largest EV driver community, PlugShare includes nearly 10 million active installs on mobile devices.
Through these offerings, EVgo is empowering consumers to live more sustainably through its core efforts to remove friction from electric vehicle ownership and make fast charging accessible, reliable and sustainable… one charge at a time.
