The reasons for a broken charger can vary - we sometimes see issues with broken or missing parts, physical damage, software, and more. The EVgo app will let you know which chargers on the map are out of service, hopefully helping you to find an available and working charger before you visit the station.
If you see a broken charger, let us know
If you do see a broken charger, please contact our team to let us know it's broken. Even if already reported, we always appreciate additional details or images of the broken charger. Our tech team typically prioritizes broken chargers based on the information we have been provided. Contact us via our chatbot to provide photos along with the charger name or asset ID.
