Under the brand name eVgo, NRG will provide electric vehicle owners throughout the greater Houston area with an extremely convenient and affordable home-and-away fueling package.
In addition to procuring and installing the EV home charging station itself, NRG also will install and maintain public fast charging stations conveniently located along major freeways, in key shopping and business districts, at popular retailers, and in multi-family community and workplace parking areas across Harris County.
NRG said that its eVgo offers access to these facilities and services to EV drivers for a flat monthly fee making EV charging simple, predictable and hassle-free. eVgo will be an unlimited miles package, offering unprecedented mobility at a fixed price for Houston-area EV drivers.
NRG plans to invest more than $10m in Houston’s public charging station infrastructure and will be the first company to equip an entire major market with the privately funded infrastructure needed for successful EV adoption and integration.
The company is ready to expand these services across Texas as early adoption of electric vehicles grows and spreads in the State that leads the nation in energy innovation and deployment.
The eVgo network starts with the installation of the service station of the future, a Level 2 home charger, at the new EV owner’s home. The Level 2 charger can deliver up to 25 miles per charging hour, allowing consumers to fully charge their vehicles overnight while they sleep.
NRG is also working with retailers to install eVgo Convenience Stations to provide Level 2 charging during the retail host’s store hours. NRG simplifies installation through turnkey hosting programs, making it easy for Houston retailers to provide these stations for their customers’ benefit.
David Crane, president and CEO of NRG Energy, said: “The new age of personal transportation begins here in Houston with a new wave of exciting plug-in electric vehicles fueled by NRG. We are committed to ensure that electric vehicle ownership is fun, affordable and ultra-convenient and that EV owners feel 100 percent comfortable driving their plug-in car anywhere in the greater Houston area, secure in the knowledge that a fast charger is never more than a few miles away.”
Will the launch benefit Houston EV owners?
