EVgo has enhanced its charging experience for Tesla owners by introducing Autocharge+ compatibility for vehicles using the Tesla CCS Adapter. This new feature eliminates the need for card-swiping at EVgo charging stations.

The functionality is specifically available through EVgo's latest app update, but comes with a notable limitation - it only works when Tesla vehicles are connected using the CCS adapter. Surprisingly, the feature isn't compatible with EVgo stations that have native Tesla connectors.

Key Benefits:

  • Automatic charging initiation
  • No card swiping required
  • Seamless integration through EVgo app
  • Compatible with Tesla CCS Adapter

To use Autocharge+, Tesla owners need to:

  1. Install the latest EVgo app
  2. Use a Tesla CCS Adapter
  3. Connect to an EVgo charging station
  4. Charging begins automatically

This update represents a significant step forward in streamlining the charging experience for Tesla owners, though the limitation to CCS adapter use remains an unusual constraint in the system.

Note: EVgo stations with native Tesla connectors still require traditional authentication methods.
