Anes Hodžić, Vice President of Amazon Smart Vehicles, said, "By partnering with EVgo, we're bringing Alexa's AI and multi-modal experiences to improve the EV charging experience for drivers and streamline the process of locating, initiating, and paying for a charging session."
While Tesla Inc TSLA owners can rely on its proprietary "Supercharger" network, drivers of non-Tesla EVs face a mishmash of competing charging networks, chargers that may not be well maintained, and apps that provide incomplete information, CNBC reports.
"We want Alexa to be useful for customers in their everyday lives, and EV charging is a great example of a task that can be simplified and made more convenient through the power of AI," Hodžić added.
Price Action: EVGO shares traded lower by 3.39% at $3.84 on the last check Thursday.
