There are no membership programs that offer completely unlimited fast charging without limits, but some offer substantial complimentary charging or high monthly allowances with reduced rates.
Memberships Offering Complimentary or Substantial Fast Charging
- Electrify America Premium Offers: When you purchase or lease an EV from participating manufacturers like Genesis, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Lucid, Mercedes, or Porsche, you can get complimentary Ultra-Fast charging that comes with your vehicle at no additional cost. You enroll via the Electrify America app or the vehicle manufacturer’s app with a provided code. This complimentary charging is limited to certain terms, not truly unlimited, but it can significantly reduce charging costs during the offer period.
Paid Membership Plans with Monthly Energy Allowances (No Unlimited Plans)
- EVCS Subscription Plans: Offer monthly membership plans that include a set kWh allowance for fast charging with discounted rates afterward and no session fees. For example:
- Essential Plan ($9.99/month) includes 30 kWh
- Standard Plan ($49.99/month) includes 200 kWh
- Premium Plan ($199.99/month) includes 650 kWh monthly allowance
There is no unlimited fast charging; usage beyond allowance is charged at discounted rates.
- Electrify America Pass+ Membership: Provides access to the nation’s largest public fast charging network with reduced costs, but pricing is based on kWh or per minute and includes a monthly subscription fee. It does not offer unlimited fast charging; fees apply depending on usage beyond the included benefits.
