First eVgo electric-car charging station comes to Dallas

TXU Energy customers now have access to a new charging station for electric vehicles (EVs): the first eVgo network charging location in the Dallas area.

Residential electricity customers who drive EVs can now charge their cars, both at home and through eVgo Freedom Stations like the new one in North Texas for a flat monthly fee.

The new eVgo charging station hosts both a 480-volt DC charger that can add 30 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes and a 240-volt Level 2 charger that can add up to 25 miles of range in an hour.
