EVgo Inc. and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) on Aug. 4 announced the opening of the first EVgo public fast charging station at milepost 21.3 on the Atlantic City Expressway.

The addition of four new 200 kW fast charging stalls extends EVgo’s collaboration with transportation agencies and total station count to 17 EVgo-owned and operated locations across the Garden State.

“The SJTA is excited about our partnership with EVgo and this new charging station at Farley Travel Plaza will provide EV drivers with convenient and reliable charging service while traveling along the Atlantic City Expressway and support the state’s growing EV registrations,” said SJTA Executive Director Stephen F.

Drivers who visit the Farley Service Plaza station can initiate a charging session by using the EVgo app, EVgo program card or by credit card. EV drivers who sign up for and use an EVgo account will also unlock lower charging rates and earn EVgo Rewards™ points after every charge, which can be redeemed for charging credit.
