Good but devs can do better
I’m now recommending this to friends who are new to EVs. Pricing comparison and easy fo figure out UI that helps folks figure out charging for their vehicle are the two big standout features.
Two big letdowns are the poor rout planing and lack of family sharing for subscribers.
I recommend ABRP (a better route planner) for that specifically. So many features missing in this app for route planning compared to competitors. 2 in particular that I think can get users in a spot of trouble if they are new to EVs, such as not being able to set my desired lower limit for in route chargers stops not just final destination limit. The app constantly gives me routes that are slowing reaching the in route chargers at only 10% or less main battery. My users manual specifically says not to go below 20%. I can not easily change charger stops via their route tool either… imo their route tool needs a LOT of work before I would use it.
The lack of family sharing for subscribers ensures they will only ever get one sub from our family while the other members in my family will probably not use the app as much if at all due to not having the same pricing perks our one sub account gets. Great way to make others in the family NOT want to use the app…

Best charge and trip planner app out there
The quality and care put into the utility and experience here is obvious and very appreciated. However there are some hurdles needing to be overcome in terms of breadth of charger listings and trip planning CarPlay integration. So much potential can’t wait to see it grow and mature.
Made long distance travel easier
Took our Kia EV6 to travel from Oregon to Arizona and used Chargeway to route and reroute when needed very easy to use and accurate information to help with planning.
Garbage
Doesn’t work
Decent idea
I like the numbering system of chargers, but trips don’t allow customization, or navigation— you have to bump out to Apple Maps and that’s kind of crazy,
I’d love to be able to chose a different charging station, and have guidance appear on my CarPlay
