Sustainability

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.

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.

EVgo’s Communities Charging for Change program promotes sustainable communities through public education and expanded access to EV fast charging. In 2019, EVgo opened seven fast charging stations in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Bay Area communities with a disproportionate pollution burden. This commitment to underserved communities supports EV drivers and shared mobility options, helping make clean transportation accessible to all.
