NRG eVgo, a subsidiary of NRG Energy, continues to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network in the United States. With NRG eVgo’s Fast Charger network, EV drivers have better access to more charging choices, enabling them to charge their EV models, from sleek sport cars to zippy sedans, three to six times faster than traditional chargers.
Stretching from California’s sunny coast to the busy roads of Washington, D.C. and beyond, NRG eVgo is in ten national markets and will be in more than 25 markets over the next two years. The eVgo network can charge all of the more than 300,000 EVs on the road from 13 auto manufacturers. The network includes powerful fast chargers that approach the speed of traditional gas pumps providing approximately 40 miles of range in just 15 minutes of charging. Drivers can easily locate charging station locations with an interactive map on the eVgo website and most active eVgo stations feature 24/7 customer service.
“NRG’s strategic expansion of our eVgo network integrates a family of in-home and away-from-home chargers to meet the needs of consumers who drive a variety of electric vehicles. The continued growth of the eVgo network provides range confidence to electric vehicle drivers and the growing number of consumers who are ready to embrace the EV movement and take a fresh look at their personal transportation,” said Arun Banskota, president of NRG eVgo.
eVgo’s groundbreaking agreements with Nissan across the nation and BMW in California provide new EV drivers with paid subscriptions when they buy their EVs.
Last year demonstrated a significant 20-fold increase in customers throughout the network. As it enters 2015, NRG eVgo is aggressively working to meet the needs and growth patterns of each region it serves with superior customer service. In particular, California, Chicago, Texas, Atlanta and Mid-Atlantic Region
The NRG eVgo national network is continuing to expand, including its first five stations in Tennessee, and will more than double the number of markets it serves in 2015 and 2016. Future expansion of the network will allow EVs to confidently drive along major corridors, including San Diego to Seattle, and Miami to Boston.
