Looking forward to trying this out once they finish the install at our local Target store.

Excellent news!

I have used the EVgo app before, but it was cumbersome to pull out your phone, open the app, then swipe the phone.

Glad to hear it now supports plug & charge as I have way more EVgo than EA.

Just wish EVgo had faster / powerful chargers.

Most of the ones I have seen are 50kW.

For sure, I wonder when EA will figure out how to do the same.

Looks like this might be a great solution and feature for some. The Tesla experience as long as it works.

Heard about this on Saturday. Installed EVgo app on my phone and registered, but wasn't able to get it to recognize my Lightning as eligible for Autocharge+. Will try again today, as we have several EVgo chargers in this area.

Will drop a note when I get it to work.

I put in a trouble ticket for that and they are working on an app update as we speak.

Same here. App works fine otherwise, but would be stoked to get this working.

Had the same thing happen to me today as well. On top of that, got a charging fault at the location I stopped at. Called EVGo to fix...

Plug and charge works great for me at EA on my Lightning. It's activated and managed via the FordPass app. And includes the same 30% discount as Pass+ as far as I can tell, but for free instead of $4 per month.

Well no I mean that the payment happens automatically via the "blueoval network" which just seems to be a connection between ford and EA. You configure payment option in the FordPass app.

Seems like it's not ready for prime time. I also got the VIN error. Bummer.
