Start a charging session with the EVgo app
We've provided detailed steps (with tips from the EVgo Charging Crew!) below:
- Open the EVgo app when you arrive at the station
-
Tap your station location from the suggested nearby charging locations
- With location services enabled on your device, the app will often recognize the station right away. You can also search the charger or location name.
- The location name typically reflects the location itself, such as "Berwyn Public Parking Garage" or "Wawa Beltsville #0593"
-
Confirm the name of the charger you intend to use
- You can find the charger name above or below the charging screen.
-
Select the appropriate connector for your vehicle
- If the available connectors don't work for your vehicle, you can check other chargers at the location or review your filters on the EVgo map to find a location that better suits your needs
-
Plug the connector into your EV’s charge port
- Listen for a click to indicate a successful connection!
- If you start the charge before plugging in the connector, you'll have 120 seconds to plug the fast-charge connector into your vehicle.
- Tap the Start Charging button
- After confirming, the charger will work to sync with your vehicle. If the connection is successful, power will begin flowing to your car.
- You'll see an error message if the station is unable to recognize your vehicle.
- Confirm whether you'd like to receive push notifications about your charging session
When the charging session has successfully begun, the Charge Monitoring screen will appear in your EVgo app. You'll also receive a notification that your car has started a charge if you have signed up for alerts.
