EVgo has announced a new loyalty program where customers can earn points toward future free charging sessions. The program, called EVgo Rewards, is a first of its kind for public charging networks in the US, according to EVgo. Here’s everything you need to know.
EVgo is a public EV charging network founded in 2010, during the start of the green wave of zero emission transportation that is just now starting to break toward the masses.
With over 800 fast chargers of 50 kW or greater now established in 35 states, EVgo currently sits as the largest public charging network in the US. With over 275,000 current customer accounts, EVgo has continually made efforts to provide a convenient, pleasant experience for EV drivers.
For example, the network offered charging discounts to those facing hardships in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the company announced a new program this past May that allows customers with the EVgo app to reserve a charging spot ahead of their visit.
With its most recent announcement, EVgo again looks to reward its customers with points from every charge that can be used to earn free charging.
EVgo introduces new rewards program to earn free charging
In a press release, the charging network announced EVgo Rewards, a new point-based system for customers to stack up and earn free charging.
The program launched today and will automatically enroll all current customers as it expands throughout EVgo’s nationwide network.
The new loyalty program will allow all customers to accrue points for every dollar spent at EVgo chargers, and in return by rewarded with free charging. Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo, elaborated on the new program:
EVgo customers’ No. 1 suggestion for us is to create more EVgo stations. And once we build them, those very same customers using our chargers are helping to fuel our rapid growth and expansion across America – and we’re excited to reward that. EVgo Rewards says thank you to EV drivers for charging with EVgo, for promoting transportation electrification on social media, and for just celebrating another birthday as an EV driver. EVgo customers are local heroes in addressing climate change in their own lives and we all should share in the rewards for that.
