"EVgo expands Plug & Charge eligibility to over 50 EV models" - Article

[Tooney]

Fast charging network EVgo shared the progress of its Autocharge+ program today, relaying that over 50 Plug & Charge capable EVs are now eligible to utilize the feature. EVgo customers can skip the time required to access an app, credit card, or RFID and can simply plug in and begin their charging session.

Although Plug & Charge technology remains a relatively new implementation in the EV charging segment, it is actually a decade old, having been introduced into ISO 15118 back in 2014. Since then, several major OEMs have begun offering this ease of charging capability in their EVs.

Simultaneously, EV charging networks like Blink and EVgo have implemented similar capabilities across their fast chargers, helping enable more models to simply plug in and replenish.

More specifically, EVgo’s Autocharge+ service was launched in September 2022 and has continued to expand to more and more models, including GM-brand EVs. In 2023 alone, EVgo says its the percentage of charging sessions initiated using Autocharge+ almost doubled, contributing to about 17% of all of its charging sessions initiated in Q4 2023.

Bad Porsche, no EVgo

that's nice, just like EA EVGO chargers are very unreliable and are at the bottom of my list of L3 chargers to use.

So what are at the top 3 or 4 of your best L3 chargers list to use for Taycans?

From an email I sent back in September 2022, I don't think it will ever happen

FPL chargers here in FL work well, I had good luck with the 7/11 branded ones.

Kort, that’s not been my experience with EvGo here in the DC area. Reliable and sometimes in less scary - neighborhood-wise - locations. Even EA has been better. Go figure.

I was once in St. Pete FL and EVGO has many units around town, not one was working. around my part of the world EVGO isn't very good.
