If you care, I would first read their actual terms and see how they
define "home built" and also how they define "automaker-manufactured."
There's probably quite a bit of wiggle room, since both terms are hard
to precisely define.
The latter term is probably not a huge concern. Who would make their own
adapter ? "Home-built" could be defined as "one-off" but as soon as you
make or engage someone to make vehicles for more than one person, how do
you distinguish that from a very small auto manufacturer ?

Ok, so you’ve just told us that you intend to violate their terms of service
because you think you’ll get away with it.
So now what?

My email from EVgo:
Dear Lawrence,
Thank you for being an EVgo customer. EVgo is always working to serve our
community of EV drivers with safety and reliability as our first priorities.
With that in mind and a goal of being as open and transparent with our users as
possible, we are notifying our customers of a change to our Terms of Service
related to charging services and adapters permitted at EVgo stations as well as
other minor updates to the Terms of Service.
Our updated Terms of Service will go into effect on Monday, February 22, 2021.
In an effort to easily convey the changes from the former version of our Terms
of Service here are the highlights:
Authorized Charging Adapters
For your safety, EVgo only permits the use of automaker-manufactured charging
adapters on EVgo charging stations or with EVgo’s charging network (“Authorized
Adapters”). EVgo prohibits the use of all other adapters (“Unauthorized
Adapters”) on EVgo’s network and charging stations.
Prohibition of Home-Built Electric Vehicles, Modified Vehicles, and Modified
Chargers
Similarly, EVgo prohibits the use of all home-built electric vehicles,
home-built onboard chargers, and vehicles that contain personally-modified
chargers (“Unauthorized Vehicles and Chargers”).
Promotional Programs
EVgo continues to support a number of automaker promotional programs that
offer free or discounted charging to EVgo customers, and those programs may
have additional terms and conditions.
Clarifications on Personal Use
EVgo accounts are non-transferrable.
The full Terms of Service, including revisions referred to in this email, are
on the EVgo website at www.evgo.com/terms-service/. Please don’t hesitate to
reach out to EVgo Customer Support, 24/7 if you have questions or require
assistance at [email protected] or call 877-494-3833.
Thank you for choosing EVgo and driving electric!
Sincerely,
Your Fast Charging Friends at EVgo
Since I have never seen an EVgo technician at any of their sites...good luck
enforcing this one.
