Activate your EVgo RFID program card

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, 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.

This article contains specific steps on activating your card; scroll or select an available quick link for more information.
