The ability to terminate an electric vehicle charging session remotely through a mobile application is a key feature for EVgo users. This function allows drivers to halt the flow of electricity to their vehicle directly from their smartphone, offering convenience and control over their charging experience. For instance, a user who anticipates reaching full charge earlier than expected can use the app to stop the session and avoid unnecessary costs.
The implementation of mobile app control over charging sessions has significant benefits. It empowers users to manage their charging costs effectively by preventing overcharging. Historically, EV charging lacked this level of user control, requiring physical interaction with the charging station. The introduction of app-based controls represents a substantial improvement in user experience and accessibility within the electric vehicle charging ecosystem.
