EVgo, one of America's largest public fast charging networks, is expanding its pricing options to accommodate various drivers and enhance customer choice.

The company has implemented kilowatt-hour (kWh) pricing across 20 states, representing two-thirds of its network. This means drivers now pay based on electricity consumed rather than charging time.
