EVgo: No Third-Party Adapters Or EV Conversions Allowed
Recent updates to EVgo’s terms of service are causing a stir in the electric vehicle community. The changes specifically prohibit the use of third-party adapters and EV conversions on their charging network. This is significant for EV owners who rely on adapters for compatibility or have modified vehicles.
EVgo’s email, like others, had a subject similar to “Notice of new terms of service.” The company’s new policy, buried within the updated terms, restricts the use of non-approved charging equipment. While the stated intention might be safety and network reliability, it limits charging options for some EV drivers. The restriction on conversions could also stifle innovation in the EV modification space.
The full implications of these changes are currently unclear.
Key Takeaways:
- EVgo has updated its terms of service.
- Third-party charging adapters are now prohibited.
- EV conversions are not allowed on the EVgo network.
It’s important to be an informed consumer, however hard these mega corporations make it.
