Promotion will only be valid for customers who have opted in to receive EVgo promotional emails and received this email.


I may not have opted in to recieve promotional emails (have not checked yet) and did not receive that email. So yea it is not everyone. It may be most perhaps?

Interesting. I don't remember opting in on that but maybe part of NCTC registration? I always do paperless so maybe...

Today EVgo announced that Rodney Slater, Partner at Squire Patton Boggs LLP and U.S. Secretary of Transportation under President Bill Clinton, and Kate Brandt, Google’s Sustainability Officer and Federal Chief Sustainability Officer under President Obama, have been nominated to join its post-merger public company board of directors: https://bit.ly/2PHxVS1

EVgo seems to be added their CHAdeMO to Tesla adapters in a box up in https://www.evgo.com/tesla-seattle/ now.

Nice find. Was trying to use Plugshare to find the converted locations and that was a bit of a fail. They do mention the updates but doing a filtered plug search (yeah, I am lazy) was a complete bomb.

Guessing all the stations will be eventually converted or do you have info on that?

On a better note; EVgo has added a 6 station 100 kw location to Whole Foods in Westlake, Seattle. Plugshare lists it as the same price as 50 kw machines which would make it a bargain charging location for EVs capable of that speed. Since I am still getting COVID Care rates till 6/30, I could pull in kwh's at around 17 cents each!

I was surprised to find that EA has markedly reduced fees, at least for my state of NM

For charging up to 90 kW:
16¢ a kWh for all, or 12¢ a kWh for passholders

not per kwh, its per minute. Still MUCH better than what I get which is 31/43 cents/ kwh.

Actually Seattle has at least two EVgo 100 kw locations and I can confirm still 20 cents/min for me

You mean per minute? That's what https://www.electrifyamerica.com/pricing/ says for NM.

But if you charge fast enough, it comes out to 16 or 12 cents per kWh...

The EA per minute pricing in states where they still have it like yours and TX are dirt cheap vs. most of were they moved to per kWh pricing. It's 43 cents/kWh for Pass and 31 cents/kWh for Pass+ in CA and most other per kWh states.

Can't charge fast enough on Chademo since they cut the rate on them to ~120 amps. FYI; I have hit 3 EVgo stations and all are running 126-127 amps. Never seen more than 124 before.

Yes, I stand corrected
