EVgo Access® now enables fast charging stations in gated parking facilities, making EV charging more accessible than ever. This innovative feature allows drivers to access charging stations in secure parking areas using a simple QR code through the EVgo app.

The system works seamlessly with both Smart-gate and non Smart-gate facilities, allowing pay-to-park lots to host EVgo charging stations without additional fees for drivers. This integration offers convenient entry and exit for EV drivers while simplifying management for parking garage operators.
