With the combination of sustainability and financial discipline serving as its north star, EVgo is strongly positioned to lead and help shape transportation electrification in the years ahead.
Using the Toyota App, customers who purchase or lease a new 2023 Toyota bZ4X can enjoy one year of unlimited complimentary charging at all public fast charging stations within the EVgo network, as well as locate nearby EVgo charging stations and initiate charging for their vehicles.
“The arrival of our all-electric bZ4X marks an important step in our commitment towards electrifying 70% of our fleet by 2030. We want our bZ4X customers to enjoy a high-quality ownership experience that is as seamless and worry-free as possible,” said Christopher Yang, Vice President, EV Charging Solutions, Toyota Motor North America. “Collaborating with EVgo, the nation’s largest public fast charging network, will help provide bZ4X owners with access to a fast, reliable charge where and when they need it.”
The EVgo network features more than 800 public fast charging locations and upwards of 1,200 L2 charging stalls across 68 metropolitan areas in 35 states, providing drivers with the flexibility to travel and charge their vehicles as much as 80% within one hour. Today, more than 130 million people in the U.S. live within a 10-mile drive of an EVgo fast charger. As demand for electrified transportation increases nationwide and new EV models are released, EVgo continues to build out its fast charging network to maintain pace with this shift, with plans to deploy approximately 16,000 fast charging stalls by 2027. The company is driving increased utilization of its network through industry partnerships and building the EVgo community of more than 310,000 customer accounts.
