EVgo, NJ Transportation Authority open Fast Charging Station on Atlantic City Expressway
EV fast charging network EVgo and the South Jersey Transportation Authority opened the first EVgo public fast charging station at the milepost 21.3 on the Atlantic City Expressway.
EVgo Chief Commercial Officer Jonathan Levy said, “These new EVgo fast charging stations on the Atlantic City Expressway are a win-win-win: a key part of EVgo’s continued growth, an integral piece of the state’s broader electrification goals, and a clear benefit to drivers looking to take advantage of the benefits of electric transportation.”
The addition of four new 200-kW fast charging stalls increases the total station count across the Garden state to 17 EVgo-owned and operated locations.
The latest addition to the network has been built in collaboration with Nissan and is partly funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's It Pay$ to Plug In program.

Drivers visiting the Farley Service Plaza station will be able to start charging via the EVgo app, the EVgo program card or by credit card. Those with an EVgo account will get lower charging rates and earn reward points after every charge.
“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. Dougherty. “Thanks to EVgo, drivers have an additional amenity to take advantage of alongside the food, ATM, gift shop, picnic area, dog walk and tourist information offerings currently available,” he added.
