  • Limited to one credit per account.
  • Valid only for personal use at EVgo-owned locations.
  • Expires a limited time after redemption.
  • 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.

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.

  • EVgo promo credits can be used at ChargePoint Level 2 chargers through the EVgo app.

  • EVgo promo codes can work immediately and add EV credits to the account balance.

  • EVgo credits can be applied to partner sessions by activating the session through the EVgo app.

  • EVgo credits have enabled low out-of-pocket charging during visits in Chicagoland.

All my family's accounts and friend's accounts dropped from $30, $40 or $50 to about $5. And only one of the 6+ different accounts actually received a warning! We all thought the accounts without warnings were fine.

On top of that my account had a special $26 GM credit which explicitly said "Credits are available for a limited time and expire on 12/31/2026", but the $26 is gone as well!

Does anyone know a promo code to get rid of the session fees? Hertz used to work but I guess it expired. TIA
