The Albany Gazette - Universal EV Chargers Launches $15 EV Charging Across Illinois, Expands as State's Leading CPO

"Universal EV Chargers is committed to making EV adoption easier for everyone," said Hemal Doshi, CEO of Universal EV Chargers. "Our $15-per-charge model removes uncertainty, giving drivers confidence that they can access fast, reliable charging at a fair price. At the same time, we're working with property owners to turn their sites into destinations that attract EV drivers daily."

Fixed Charge Model For Your EV - How It Works

Universal EV Chargers' new pricing for Illinois is designed for simplicity:

1. Arrive at a Universal EV Chargers station at any Illinois location.

2. Plug in using CCS or NACS connectors (where available).

3. Scan the QR code directly on the charger or use the Universal EV App.

4. Start charging. Most EVs will reach 80% charge in roughly 30 minutes.

There are no time-based charges, surprise surcharges, or membership fees. Every charging session costs only $15.
