A couple of recent developments in the EVgo network.
First, for the past 3 weeks or so, EVgo has been pulling out of their sites at Walmart properties. I hadn't read anything specific in the news about this, but it's definitely continuing. At first they put some notices such as the following into the Plugshare entries, but now they seem to just be quietly disappearing.
Second, and possibly more interesting to the Tesla community, a new EVgo station popped up in West Orange, NJ. It's listed as having two Tesla connectors (on the EVgo app/site, not Plugshare). But the interesting thing is that unlike in the past where the Tesla connectors are listed alongside the CHAdeMO connector, they are now listed alongside the CCS connector, indicating to me that EVgo has started to switch over to using the CCS adapter. It might be worth checking out if you are local. I also suspect the charge rate is probably 100kW versus the 50kW possible with the CHAdeMO adapter.

I've opened a discussion thread here to discuss this site specifically: Fastcharger - West Orange - Courtyard West Orange

Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, the chargers at this site will be removed from service on 10/24/22. We realize this is an inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize. Please use the EVgo app to find other nearby stations or call us at 877-494-3833 with any questions.
