Accelerating the Transition to Clean Energy

EVgo is committed to protecting our environment by making it easy for drivers to go electric. With around 900 stations across the country, over 140 million people in the U.S. live within 10 miles of an EVgo charger. Together, we’re helping to clean up the air and tackle climate change, one charge at a time.

EVgo matches 100% of the electricity consumed on its network

For every kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumed on our network, EVgo purchases a corresponding kWh renewable energy credit (REC) from an accredited REC supplier.

The 180,000+ metric ton reduction in the U.S. carbon footprint is equivalent to planting about 3 million trees.

Responsibly Recycling Charger Equipment

When a charger reaches the end of its useful life, EVgo works with Homeboy Recycling, an R2 certified electronics recycler and a B Corp™, to reuse parts wherever possible, recycle valuable materials, and reduce waste. In 2022, EVgo reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 261,004lbs through sustainable recycling practices in its partnership with Homeboy.
