What's New in PlugShare

7.36.1

July 14, 2026

We've been busy fine-tuning things behind the scenes! This maintenance release brings a few small-but-mighty improvements: - Smoother photo uploads: We added some extra behind-the-scenes diagnostics to help us pinpoint and squash any hiccups when you share location photos. The more you upload, the sharper the community picture gets! - Steadier power filters: We made some under-the-hood improvements to the charging power filter so your saved slider settings always stay right where you left them, even as we roll out updates over time. - Tidier station editing: We fixed a small glitch in the Edit Station summary that could pop up when adding a station on certain charging networks. Editing location details is a little more seamless now. Thanks for helping keep the world's EV map accurate and up to date. Happy charging!

I’ve only been on the app about three minutes and it is already asking for a review! Please don’t do that

Cannot locate charging station & availability

Cadillac optic

Super spot. New stations with longer cords that can reach w/o a problem. Great shopping center, with cozy Riptide pub across the street.

Good but…

This is the best app I have found for locating charging locations. But it has one MAJOR flaw.

IT IS NOT COLOURBLIND FRIENDLY.

The app uses pins to show the location of charging stations but they are colour coded.
AC (slow) chargers are green. Or so I am told. DC chargers are orange, again so I am told. For the life of me I cannot tell them apart.

I know I can filter them out, but I want to keep both in. An AC charger is not my preference when on a trip, but if it is the only option I will take it. But I do want to know before I reach it whether I am in for a half hour charge or a half day charge.

Another thing….
I have been playing with the trip function as part of trip planning. It is useful if somewhat unintuitive. It also has a number of serious flaws:
1. I cannot rename a trip once saved. Not helpful
2. I can only add a stop if it is a charger. It is not possible, for example to set a waypoint for the Warrumbungles National Park. No charger there
3. It is not possible to back out of an edit without saving, so if I accidentally delete the wrong waypoint, I have to start again.

Getting better by the day. New trips still difficult to use.
