EVgo is expanding kilowatt-hour (kWh) pricing across its entire charging network, allowing customers to pay only for the electricity delivered to their vehicle rather than time spent charging (where legally permitted).

The new pricing structure includes time-of-use (TOU) components, offering lower rates during Off-Peak and Early Bird windows. This gives drivers more flexibility and cost-saving opportunities based on when they choose to charge.

EVgo's charging rates are determined by three main factors:

• Equipment costs
• Development costs
• Operation costs (with electricity being the highest operating expense)

Rates vary by location due to different utility costs across jurisdictions. Drivers can check current pricing through:

• EVgo's pricing page
• The EVgo mobile app
• PlugShare's real-time pricing information

For the best rates, EVgo offers subscription plans tailored to different charging needs. New and experienced EV drivers can learn more about fast charging through EVgo's Charge Talk series, which covers topics like:

• Range
• State of charge
• Connector types
• Battery packs

Note: Some states have regulations prohibiting kWh pricing, requiring per-minute pricing instead.
