SierraQ said:Any new information on EVGO? Has anyone talked with them or subscribed? I came out with slightly different figures that the first post in this thread. Assumptions:
- I figure $2 for a full recharge on average
- You have a long commute and have to recharge fully every day (20 days or so a month)
- You get to keep the dock after 3 years
$2 * 20 days * 12 months * 3 years = $1440
cost of dock via aerovironment = $2000 (possible $1000 tax credit here)
Your 3 year costs = $3440 - $1000 = $2440
$89 * 12 months * 3 years = $3204
EVGO costs = $3204 - $2440 = $764 ($21/mo for EVGO station usage)
If you don't get the keep the dock and decide to drop the plan after 3 years then it is not so nice. If for some reason you cannot get the $1000 tax credit the deal is even better. Taxes not included in calculations so that may change things a bit.
The intangible benefits are:
- EVGO will repair any problems with the charger (right?)
- Better dock than the standard one? (someone said so in this thread)
- Access to their charging stations whenever you need to
- Spread out the cost of the dock interest-free (as opposed to rolling it into your car loan)
We are just starting to evaluate this so any feedback or real-world experience with EVGO is welcome!

Pipcecil said:my current plan is to at least stick with them for 3 years (since it would be monetarily benefical to me). After those three years I can re-evaluate the situation. Will I need the Level 3 chargers anymore? Will other companies push level 3 out here for a pay per use? Is there a significantly better EVSE that I can change to? These are the questions I will have to answer 3 years from now. At least I do have the out to buy the charger from them.
Pipcecil said:We shall see how things go in 3 years. Hopefully the model will change. Or, maybe other companies that had "free" charging, etc. change their model to this? (eww). Only time will tell
I think that translate into: first we want to sign as many people up on the three year EVSE plans.tzzhc4 said:Pipcecil said:We shall see how things go in 3 years. Hopefully the model will change.

I got this reply from EVGO the other day when I asked if they would either offer a mobile only plan or a "pay at the pump" option:
"Yes, we are developing a 'pay at the station' option but it will likely not be ready until early next year."
