Location Reviews
The EVgo Charging Station network has received mixed feedback, with users highlighting both its availability of fast charging stations and significant operational and user experience issues. Positively, several reviews note that EVgo offers access to DC fast chargers, which are appreciated for their speed, particularly at locations like the Target in Minneapolis. However, the overall sentiment is largely negative, with frequent complaints about technical problems. Many users report that a high percentage of chargers are non-functional, often due to perceived neglect in maintenance, and that the app frequently malfunctions—such as failing to work entirely, having inconsistent tap-to-pay functionality (operating only about 60% of the time), or crashing during critical moments like charging sessions.
User experience issues are also prominently mentioned, including a clunky, unintuitive app interface, slow performance, and poor integration with Apple Maps, which some users criticize for privacy concerns and lack of standard UI elements. Additional frustrations include a cumbersome and overly lengthy sign-up process, difficulties in managing charging sessions (e.g., inability to verify or restart sessions if accidentally interrupted), and inadequate customer support. Some users compare EVgo unfavorably to competitors like ChargePoint, which they describe as having better reliability, app functionality, and customer service. While the network’s fast charging capabilities are acknowledged as a strength, recurring technical and usability problems significantly detract from the user experience.
