EVgo charging questions
- How much does EVgo charging cost per kWh?
- WattWay prices EVgo at about $0.55/kWh for DC fast charging, which makes it the 13th cheapest of the 16 networks it tracks (tied with 1 other at the same rate) and above the $0.43/kWh average by $0.12 per kWh. Actual rates vary by site, time of day and local taxes; when a station publishes its own price, the planner uses that instead.
- Is EVgo expensive compared with other networks?
- Across the networks WattWay prices, rates run from $0.20/kWh (OUC) to $0.59/kWh (Blink). At $0.55/kWh, EVgo sits toward the expensive end. On a 500-mile trip, the charging you buy en route differs by roughly $10.78 versus an average-priced network for a mid-size EV.
- Is the EVgo Plus membership worth it?
- It costs $6.99 a month and takes $0.10/kWh off the rate, bringing EVgo to about $0.45/kWh. At a typical 55 kWh road-trip session you save $5.50 per stop, so it pays for itself after 2 sessions in a month — easily cleared by one road trip, rarely cleared by home charging alone.
