## What is Charge & Chew?

Charging takes 30 minutes. Might as well spend it somewhere good.

Charge & Chew finds DC fast chargers within a short walk of the restaurants and stores you'd actually stop at — IHOP, In-N-Out, Buc-ee's, Starbucks, Target and 85 more chains. 13,000+ US chargers, every network, free, no account.

WHAT IT DOES
• Search a chain, a place, a kind of shop ("tire shop"), or a whole drive: type "LA to Las Vegas" and see every stop along the route with food a few minutes' walk from the charger.
• Tap any stop for walk times to each place, hours where known, and one-tap directions.
• Set your car for connector compatibility and a rough charge time at each stop.
• Press and hold the map to search any spot.
• Save the stops you like.

BUILT FOR THE ROAD
• Works offline: the charger database is on your phone. Only the map tiles need a signal.
• A home screen widget shows the nearest fast charger with somewhere to eat.
• Your location never leaves your device. No ads, no tracking, no account.

HONEST ABOUT THE DATA
Walk times are straight-line estimates at about 3 mph, and charge times assume a typical peak rate for your car. Charger hours, pricing and stall counts come from public data and can be out of date — always check the network's own app before relying on a stop.

Charger data: US DOE / NREL Alternative Fuel Stations. Places: OpenStreetMap. Not affiliated with Tesla, Inc. or any listed chain or network.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-30

Faster, and safer.

• The app starts about four times faster, and tapping a filter responds far more quickly. Your results are exactly the same — only the waiting is gone.
• Website links for nearby places are now checked before they open, and links that were missing "https" now open correctly instead of showing a broken page.
• Searching for one specific place, like a particular coffee shop, no longer shows unrelated chains when the map data service is busy.
• If you update the app, it now always uses the newest charger data rather than an older copy it had downloaded.
• Fixed messages that showed "&" instead of "&".

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-25

Finding a snack stop keeps working, even when the map data service is busy.

• Search a kind of place along a drive and we now show what we have bundled if the live lookup is unavailable — "Denver to Moab with a coffee shop" still finds stops instead of showing an error.
• The chip counts now match the area you are actually looking at. On an LA to Las Vegas route "Any food" reads the number of stops on that route, not the nationwide total, and the chains listed first are the ones actually on your road.
• Routes and place names you have looked up once are remembered, so a shared trip link opens straight away and still works if the routing service is down.
• Clearer titles when a search matches several chains at once.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-23

Find a snack stop along your drive.

You can now search for a kind of place along a route, not just a brand:

  "LA to Las Vegas near ice cream shop"
  "Denver to Moab with a coffee shop"

We draw the route first, then look up what is within a short walk of each charging stop on it — so you get every stop on the way that has one, with walking times.

Also in this update:
• "ice cream" is now a category you can search anywhere, along with donuts, bakeries, delis, pizza, burgers, gas stations and more. Each gets its own icon in the results.
• Fixed: a destination with extra words after it ("to Las Vegas near ice cream") could route you to the wrong place.
• Fixed: charger pins sat underneath the route line and could not be tapped. They now sit on top of it.
• Shared route links now open correctly in the app.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-20
