NRG Expands Electric Vehicle Charging Offerings to Chicago

NRG eVgo, a subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc., is expanding its electric vehicle (EV) charging offerings to the Chicago market.

In partnership with Chicago-based JNS Holdings Corp., eVgo will operate a network of direct current (DC) fast chargers for Chicagoland EV drivers.

In the coming months, eVgo will also add additional DC fast charging sites to the Chicagoland area to further improve the charging coverage and make it a truly comprehensive network.

NRG said that the network supports eVgo's partnership with Nissan to expand the "No Charge to Charge" program to the Chicago market. Already in 12 markets, "No Charge to Charge" is, "a first-of-its-kind partnership that provides Nissan LEAF buyers with complimentary 24-month access to the eVgo network, as well as other EV charging networks, using a single EZ-Charge access card," NRG said

eVgo has over 160 fast charge stations currently installed
