Fast Charge Your Tesla Model S/3/X/Y with EVgo

Yes! EVgo welcomes all Tesla drivers to fast charge at any of our 800+ EVgo stations using your own Tesla CHAdeMO adapter, or the Tesla connectors available at select locations across the US.

EVgo is deploying more than 600 integrated Tesla connectors at existing EVgo stations in key cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington D.C., Virginia, Baltimore, Texas, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Florida, and New York.

You can locate an EVgo station with a Tesla connector by using the EVgo app, Tesla in-vehicle navigation, or the Tesla app. Once you arrive, you will remove the Tesla connector from the charger and plug it into your vehicle. To start the session, you can pay through the EVgo app, EVgo program card, or credit card (in select locations). Return the connector to its original holder once charging session is complete, and you are back on the road!
