Toyota just announced 1 year of complimentary charging on the EVgo network for the bz4X.
Has anyone heard of rumors for a similar offer for the Solterra?

I don't know why they advertise the 30 minute limit, if you need to charge longer you can simply plug it back in for another 30min!!!Yeah, I'd also like to know what access benefits Solterra customers will get. Strange that they haven't already specified them. Also a little strange that the bZ4X customers only get one year of charging, but it's good that it's unlimited instead of 30 minute sessions.
I can't speak to what potential buyers in OK/TX/AR might do, but I'm not going to let the absence of EVgo charging in most of IL deter me from owning a Solterra (closest is 105 miles away, in St. Louis, MO). The selling price and predicted range are much more important. If I do buy a Solterra, it's possible I'll never use EVgo charging for most of the first few years of ownership - unless they change their business model and start building stations near where I'll be traveling. In almost all directions from home there are zero EVgo chargers within several hundred miles, and none close to major highways.evGo is sparse in OK, TX, and AR. Given Subaru's partnership with evGo, I wonder if Solterra vehicles will first show up in places where evGo has a presence, and later where it does not. (Personally, I'd rather see MSRP rather than partnership with any EV charging network. )
I believe you can use your Evgo account with “roaming” access on the charge point network. Not sure if there are additional fees for that or if the deal with Subaru and evgo would allow for this too.Closest evgo is 253 miles away. None in MN. Subarus must not be popular enough in MN For them to partner with someone without a network here.
thanks for sharing!I believe you can use your Evgo account with “roaming” access on the charge point network. Not sure if there are additional fees for that or if the deal with Subaru and evgo would allow for this too.
