Our goal is to ensure that Electric Vehicles (EVs) and public fast charging are accessible to all.
Join one of the Largest Public EV Charging Networks
In 2019, EVgo launched the Communities Charging for Change initiative to promote access to electric vehicle charging for all. Under this initiative, EVgo introduces the Equal Access Charging Hub program together with local partners to deploy new public fast charging hubs in California communities that bear a disproportionate pollution burden in San Diego, Los Angeles, and in the Bay Area.
On average, an EV costs half as much as driving a gas car and is cheaper to maintain.1 Californians can save about $1,000/year on fuel costs by switching to an EV.2
Alameda County households spend on average 17% of their income on transportation costs.3
By transitioning to an EV, you save more on fuel and maintenance fees, which means more money leftover for rent, food, and other family necessities.
Gas powered vehicles emit toxic air pollution, including small particles (PM2.5), that are dangerous to human health.
Low income and communities of color in California face the greatest exposure to air pollution from transportation.4 PM2.5 exposure may increase the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, asthma attacks, and poor lung and heart health.5
Adoption of electric vehicles, which produce less emissions than gas vehicles, can help improve air quality and health outcomes in your area.
In 2017, transportation was responsible for the largest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions out of any sector, and passenger vehicles made up the greatest percentage of transportation emissions in California.6
The transition to EVs is one important step to reducing the risk of large-scale climate events like the recent California wildfires and ensuring a livable future.
