About EVgo:

With over 1,200 public fast charging stations and multiple pricing plans, EVgo delivers speed, ease and convenience for EV drivers across the country. Today, more than 40% of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of an EVgo fast charger, so it's never been easier to power up with EVgo wherever you live, shop, work or travel.
Community Reviews
EVgo's $5 July 4th credit is a small charging credit that can sometimes be redeemed smoothly and used through the EVgo app at partner locations, including some ChargePoint Level 2 stations. It has helped offset pricey public charging, especially on road trips, and the credit balance can be checked under Payment and Billing, then Transactions. The main catch is that eligibility and expiration are murky, with reports of some credits disappearing or dropping to about $5, while app messages about fast charging, EVgo owned stations, and expiration dates have changed over time.
Common Questions (5)
Unused credits often remain available for months, and the 30-day clock appears to start only after a credit is first used. Once a balance has been partially used, the remaining amount can later show an expiration warning or disappear.
It can work at ChargePoint Level 2 locations when they appear in EVgo's partner-network search and the session is started through the EVgo app. It is not guaranteed at every site, so the charger must show up as eligible in the app.
Yes, it can be used on Level 2 charging, including ChargePoint L2 stations that are accessible through the EVgo app. The promo text may mention fast charging or EVgo-owned stations, but the credit has been applied to L2 sessions.
Open Payment & Billing, then Transactions; the remaining credit appears at the top. Redeeming a code just adds to your credit balance, and the transaction list shows what is left.
Yes, the card can show a temporary $5 hold when the session starts. After the session ends, the hold should drop off and the actual charging amount should be charged instead.
