EVgo Inc., one of the USA’s largest public fast charging networks, has announced a partnership with Amazon to see Alex support charging experiences. Alexa will navigate, initiate and pay for charging sessions at EVgo.
“We want Alexa to be useful for customers in their everyday lives, and EV charging is a great example of a task that can be simplified and made more convenient through the power of AI. By partnering with EVgo, we’re bringing Alexa’s AI and multi-modal experiences to improve the EV charging experience for drivers and streamline the process of locating, initiating and paying for a charging session,” said Anes Hodžić, Vice President of Amazon Smart Vehicles.
Through this partnership, Amazon customers can access over 150,000 U.S. public charging stations listed on PlugShare.
“EVgo and Amazon’s shared principles of being customer-centric and committed to a sustainable future make innovative experiences like voice-initiated charging possible. From Autocharge+ to charging with Alexa, EVgo is committed to continuing to raise the bar for convenience of EV ownership for our customers. EVgo is proud to be Amazon’s first charging network partner to enable this Alexa experience, and support its Climate Pledge to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040,” said Cathy Zoi, CEO at EVgo.
