Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is great for finding chargers, but it would be helpful to see how long a charger has been occupied to better plan my charging stops.
OATrojan
Chargers and app both unreliable. The app crashes when trying to report issues, and customer support couldn't help. Many chargers are out of order for extended periods.

EVgo is awesome when the charging stations are working! Most of the time they’re broken and take forever to fix. Also need more charging stations like Tesla which is everywhere you turn!
