Autocharge instantly recognises the EV and begins charging automatically, the company says. It is being launched on EVgo’s dedicated Maven Gig network – which offers rental cars for drivers who need a car to work for ride-share and delivery services.
The technology will be rolled out across the US by the end of 2019 to all EVgo account holders with a compatible vehicle.
Frank Marotta Jr., Maven electrification project lead, says: “This technology not only further simplifies the EV charging experience, but also eliminates much of the hassle associated with RFID-card management.”
