When you create an EVgo account, we'll send you a free RFID program card. The program card makes charging easier - when used, it will immediately tie that charging session to your EVgo account with no further action needed.
After you receive your RFID program card in the mail, you MUST activate the card before you can begin using it. This article contains specific steps on activating your card; click below to skip to any section or find other helpful resources related to your EVgo RFID program card:

How to activate your RFID program card
Your first RFID program card is automatically ordered for you the day you enroll in your EVgo plan. You'll receive an email notification as soon as the card is sent to you.
After you receive your RFID program card, you MUST activate the card before you can use it. Similar to a credit card, we send you an inactive RFID program card for your security. After the RFID program card is activated, it will be fully tied to your EVgo account and ready to use as a charging payment method.
- Activate your RFID program card in the EVgo app
