How do I create an account?

When you decide which EVgo plan will work best for you, you can sign up for EVgo from a desktop browser or from the EVgo mobile app (Android and iOS). We recommend that you enroll in whichever method you plan to use EVgo - if you will primarily use the EVgo app, then go ahead and download the EVgo app to register from there.

When you enroll in an EVgo plan, you will need to provide the following:

• Your preferred EVgo plan name
• A valid credit card
• Basic information about the vehicle you will be charging

If you have any questions about signing up through the EVgo app, check out our EVgo App FAQs

How do I log into my EVgo account?

You can log in from the web (account.evgo.com) or from the EVgo app. Your login credentials will be the same regardless of the platform where you log into your EVgo account. If you require any login assistance, please contact the EVgo Charging Crew at 877-494-3833.

I've signed up through evgo.com, but I can't login into my account on the EVgo app. What can I do?

At this time, some of our EVgo account holders have experienced an issue with signing up on the web. Typically these issues, such as a missing activation email or a phone number already in use, will need to be escalated to our product team. We ask that you submit a request to the EVgo Charging Crew and provide details of your experience and a screenshot if possible. 

Manage your Profile

Whenever you need to update your account (for a recent move, adding or removing drivers, etc.), we want your account to stay up to date! Here are some common questions related to managing your profile:

• Where can I review my account information?
• How do I change the email tied to my account?
• Where can I review my plan information?
• How do I close my EVgo account?
• Back to top

Where can I review my account information?

When you're logged into your account, you can review and edit your contact details (name, phone number, email, and addresses) as well as manage account notifications and your password. Access your account information in your Profile:

• From the EVgo app:
  • Tap the menu icon (☰) > Profile
• From the web (account.evgo.com):
  • Select Profile in the top right of your screen

How do I change the email tied to my EVgo account?

You can edit the email tied to your account using the EVgo app:

1. Tap the menu icon (☰) > Profile > Email
2. Edit your email address as needed
3. Enter your password and tap Save to save the changes

You can also submit a request to the EVgo Charging Crew for support with changing your email.

Where can I review my plan information?

You can review your plan information in the EVgo app or on the web (account.evgo.com). You can see the most detail about your plan on the EVgo app; to find it, tap the menu icon (☰) > Plans

From the Plans screen, you can confirm your plan and start date as well as review other EVgo plan offerings. When you tap View Details under your plan, you can review pricing specific to your plan and region as well as more plan details.

How do I close my EVgo account?

We hate to see you go, but if you must close your EVgo account, you have a few options.

• Close account:
  • If you no longer have an EV or only enrolled in EVgo for a rental vehicle, then this can be a good option if you may use EVgo again in the future. Closing your account is similar to an inactive account, however, it cannot be used to charge a vehicle unless you contact us to reopen it.
  • To close your account, submit a request to the EVgo Charging Crew.
• Request account deletion:
  • Upon request, EVgo is happy to close your account as well as delete your information entirely.
  • You can submit a ticket or request deletion in the EVgo app: Tap the menu icon (☰) > Profile > Delete Account > Request account deletion

Account Members

We created the EVgo Members feature because many of our users wanted to share their EVgo Membership with their household or another specific group. By adding someone as a Member on your account, you can give them autonomy over their charging needs while still controlling most of the main account (such as managing payment methods, earning EVgo Rewards, etc).

Here are some common questions:

• How do I share or add other users to my account?
• Why should I add other users to my account instead of just sharing it?
• Can I get an RFID program card for a family member?
• Is there a limit to how many Members I can add to my account?
• How do I update the email for a member in my account?
• Back to top

How do I share or add other users to my account?

If you'd like to share access to your EVgo account, you can add anyone as a Member under your main EVgo account. 

• From the EVgo app:
  • Tap the menu icon (☰) > Members > Add Member (+) 
• From the web (account.evgo.com):
  • Click or hover over Profile > Members > Add Member to the left

If you'd like, you can invite Members to create their own Member account in the EVgo app. They'll receive an email from support@evgo.com asking them to verify and create their own EVgo Member account login.

You can also request that EVgo issue the Members on your account their own RFID program card; this will allow them to start a charge using an RFID card tied to your main EVgo account. Learn more about requesting a Member RFID card below!

Why should I add other users to my account instead of just sharing it?

If you want to provide someone with access to charging using your account, then it's best to add them as a Member on your EVgo account. Membership accounts will give your members autonomy over their use of the EVgo network, however it limits their access to some of your account details. The key benefits of creating a Member account:

• Make EVgo work for your family’s needs
  • You can assign specific vehicles and even payment methods to your account Members.
• Limit access to certain account details
  • Members can see their own charge history and the basics of your EVgo contract; however, they are unable to access your main account's transaction history or card details.
• Keeps transactions clear
  • With their own RFID card and EVgo app access, you'll always know who initiated the charges in your EVgo account.
• Provides independent use of EVgo services
  • Members can manage their own account details, transactions, and even vehicles, or payment methods (if they add their own).
• Simplifies contact with the EVgo Charging Crew
  • Our support team is available 24/7, 365 days a year so that you and your Members can get support when you need it! Our team will always verify who is calling before assisting with an issue. When Members have their own account, the team will verify the information on the Member account (not your main account), which often makes for a much smoother experience when we're needed!
• Consolidate your EVgo Rewards
  • All Rewards points from member transactions are tied to the main EVgo account; this means that you still get to benefit from any Member charging sessions.

As the main account owner, you will be responsible for managing the majority of your account details.

Is there a limit to how many Members I can add to my account?

You can add up to 4 (four) Members to your EVgo account. If you are looking to manage an account with a large number of users, typically for commercial use, then check out our EVgo Fleets Charging Solution.

How do I update the email for a member in my account?

You can manage the Members of your account from the web and from the EVgo app:

• From the EVgo app: You should delete the Member entirely and add them again with the correct information.
  • Tap the menu icon (☰) > Members > Select the member
• On the web (account.evgo.com): You can edit a Member on your account if the Member has not yet been able to login and activate their account. 
  • Hover over Profile in the top right > Members > Edit member 
  • Note that you will be unable to edit their email username after you've invited them to join your account.

For the fastest support, please contact the EVgo Charging Crew! The team should be able to assist you with editing the Member account details over the phone at 877-494-3833 or if you submit a request. 

Your EVgo RFID program card

Your EVgo RFID program card is issued as soon as you create your EVgo account. It's one of the easiest methods for starting a charge with EVgo. When you have it, simply tap the RFID card reader on the station to start your charge!

After you create your account, we'll mail your RFID program card to the address on file. Most of our new members receive the card within 10-14 business days.

If you have not received the RFID program card within 14 business days, please contact the EVgo Charging Crew! We recommend that you submit a request so that you can confirm your correct mailing address before we issue a new card.

How do I activate my RFID program card?

After you receive your RFID program card in the mail, you must activate it from the EVgo app or on the web (account.evgo.com):

Can I get a new RFID program card?

Maybe your RFID program card was damaged or lost - if so, we've got you covered! If you ever need a new RFID program card for any reason, you can order a new card directly from your account. 

• From the EVgo app:
  • Tap the menu icon (☰) > Program Cards > (+) Order New Card
• On the web (account.evgo.com):

There are a few ways that you can request an RFID program card for a Member on your account:

• From the EVgo app:
  1. Request a new RFID card
  2. Activate the new RFID program card when it arrives
  3. Assign the RFID program card to any Member in your account

Save your vehicle

When you add your vehicle to your EVgo account, your experience becomes much more streamlined. Not only will we automatically filter your searches for your vehicle's charging port, but you might also be able to access benefits like Autocharge+. Here are some of our most common questions about this feature!

• Can EVgo save specific details about my vehicle?
• How do I add my vehicle by its VIN?
• Why is my vehicle saved on the web, but doesn't appear in my EVgo app?
• How do I turn on Autocharge+ for my vehicle?
• Why am I getting an error when I try to add my VIN and enroll in Autocharge+?
• Back to top

Can EVgo save specific details about my vehicle?

Yes, you can and should add your vehicle to your EVgo account! 

• In the EVgo app:
  • Tap the menu icon (☰) > Vehicles > Add Vehicle (+).
  • You can then add your vehicle by its VIN or search and select the make and model of your vehicle.
• From the web (account.evgo.com):
  • Click or hover over Profile > Vehicles > Add Vehicle. 

How do I add my vehicle by its VIN?

This is a great feature of the EVgo app!

After you tap the menu icon (☰) > Vehicles > Add Vehicle (+), you can tap Add Vehicle by VIN. We'll provide you with some basic pointers for locating the VIN on:

• The driver's side door jamb (to scan)
• The DMV registration
• The insurance card
• The engine compartment (hybrid vehicles)

You can then enter the VIN manually or scan the VIN barcode/QR code if available. It may take a few moments for the EVgo app to load your vehicle's details, however it will save you the steps of manually providing information to us!

Why is my vehicle saved on the web, but doesn't appear in my EVgo app?

At this time, we are currently working to resolve an issue where vehicle profiles are not populating between the EVgo app and the web portal. This means that even when logged in, vehicle profiles created and saved on the web are not appearing in the EVgo app, and vice versa.

Please ensure that you add your vehicle to the platform where you intend to use your EVgo account. For most users, this means that adding your vehicle directly to the EVgo app will result in the best experience for you. 

We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue. If you have any further questions are are still experiencing problems with your vehicle profile(s), please submit a request to the EVgo Charging Crew!

How do I turn on Autocharge+ for my vehicle?

The EVgo app will recognize any vehicles eligible for Autocharge+. To check, tap the menu icon (☰) > Vehicles.

If your vehicle is eligible, then the EVgo app will indicate Eligible for Autocharge+ on the vehicle's profile. You can then tap the vehicle profile, where you'll see the Request to enroll button.

Why am I getting an error when I try to add my VIN and enroll in Autocharge+?

At times, our users experience errors when enrolling. Those errors are usually very specific to the vehicle - depending on your needs, you may see some of the below:

• VIN in use error
  • Is your EV a used vehicle? Whether it was recently purchased or a rental, the EVgo app will not allow Autocharge+ enrollment for the same vehicle in more than one account. It's possible that whoever last drove or owned the vehicle has an EVgo account and forgot to unenroll the vehicle from their account.
  • Use this link to submit a form to the EVgo Charging Crew - the team will look more closely into the issue and add your vehicle to your account, removing it from any incorrect accounts as needed.
• VIN not available error
  • Is your vehicle model fresh on the EV market? While we do our best to research and add all new EV models into our app well before our customers can drive them, we don't always catch them all!
  • Use this link to submit a form to the EVgo Charging Crew, who can ensure your vehicle model is added to our system and your account!
• Generic Error - won't accept the VIN entered
  • Double-check that the VIN was scanned/entered correctly. All VINs are 17 characters and include a specific alphanumeric string identifying your vehicle. Our system checks for the specific criteria to ensure that the correct VIN is added each time.
