EVgo Autocharge+ is a new feature that enables automatic charging initiation for compatible electric vehicles across the EVgo network. Simply plug in your EV, and charging begins without additional steps – no cards or app interactions required.

How Autocharge+ Works

EVs with CCS connectors send a unique identifier to EVgo's charging stations, automatically linking charging sessions to your account. This streamlines the charging process, giving you more time for other activities while your vehicle charges.

Compatible Vehicles

Autocharge+ works with most CCS-equipped EVs, including:

  • Cadillac LYRIQ
  • Chevrolet Bolt EV/EUV
  • Ford Mach-E and F-150 Lightning
  • Genesis GV60, GV70, G80 Electrified
  • Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, Kona
  • Kia EV6, Niro
  • Mercedes EQS, EQB, EQE
  • Polestar 2
  • Tesla Models (with CCS adapter)
  • And more
