Charge with a Tesla Connector
(San Francisco locations, Los Angeles locations – more stations coming soon)
1. Connect your Tesla vehicle using the connector.
2. Start charging session via EVgo app, Program Card, or credit card*.
3. Return the Tesla connector back to the charger holster when your session has completed.
Charge with a Tesla CHAdeMO Adapter
1. Connect the CHAdeMO connector to the adapter by lining up the connector’s grooves (located on top) with the connector’s corresponding grooves in the Tesla adapter.
2. Push the CHAdeMO connector and adapter together until you hear a locking click.
3. Plug the Tesla connector into your vehicle so that it latches.
4. Initiate a CHAdeMO charging session using the EVgo app, charger touchscreen, EVgo Program Card, or credit card*.
(Register with the EVgo app and start charges right from your phone!)
Please note that the Tesla SAE J1772 charging adapter is not compatible with fast charging, but can be used at EVgo Level 2 chargers.
*At stations without credit card readers – contact our 24/7 Customer Support team at (877) 494-3833 to execute a credit card session.
