Add a new payment method

You must have a valid payment method on file to activate your account, no matter what plan you enroll in. If you did not add a payment method upon account creation, you can add and manage your payment method(s) from the EVgo app or website. Select the platform you're using below for more specific details:

Accepted payment methods:

EVgo accepts most major credit/debit card providers, specifically Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

You can add a credit or debit card; pre-paid credit cards are also acceptable to use in your EVgo account.

 

 

A note about your Primary/Default payment method:

The first card added to your account will also be automatically delegated as your default payment method for monthly billing and any other billing matters. You cannot delete the default card on your EVgo account. You can adjust the default method after adding another payment method to your account. Find more in our article: Manage your payment methods
