Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The EVgo app is frustratingly slow and unintuitive. Despite multiple attempts, I couldn't get my car to charge at an EVgo station, which is unacceptable for a service that relies on timely, reliable charging.

The EVgo app leaves a lot to be desired. While its interface is functional, the service behind it is consistently frustrating—chargers are frequently broken or out of service, and it can feel like a coin toss whether you’ll find a working one when you need it.
