  • Limited time offer, while supplies last.
  • EVgo requires a valid payment method tied to the account in order to redeem promo codes.
  • Promo codes can only be applied in the EVgo app and not their website. Account signup is buggy in the website - it is recommended to sign up via their mobile app.
  • Please see the original post for additional details & give the WIKI and additional forum comments a read for helpful discussion.

there's a $0.99 session fee for us in california. So it's more about 6.4kWh.

Thanks. In 4 one.
FYI, if you are a AAA membership and you are in NorCal, you could waive the charging fee.
Check your local AAA website.

Ask a friend who has and drives gas vehicles; they will not need it for EV charging, you just need to add the member number afaik

Thanks, can't complain about free! That said, these EV charging apps need to go away. I went to an Electrify America charger the other day that was a dream… no app and Apple Pay worked… felt like I was using a gas pump for once.
