A short stop this time: a few fixes and a little polish, then back on the road. • Stations are back on the CarPlay map: If you started PlugShare from CarPlay without opening it on your phone first, the map would load but come up empty, with no charging stations on it. They're showing up again. • Precision pin placement: Marking a new location? You can now zoom all the way in to drop your pin on the exact stall, instead of somewhere in the parking lot. • Cleaner text throughout: We fixed some spacing that made text look cramped in places around the app. Thanks for helping keep the world's EV map accurate and up to date. Happy charging!

First class EV charging review

The best and easiest national EV charger map of the nation that I’ve found. Kind of a charging map for dummies. It’s been a big help for me. I don’t go on many road trips and I tend to repeat trips.

Inaccuracy

The availability of the chargers and which specific ones is very inconsistent and inaccurate when looking at the app. There have been many occasions when the charging station in front of me is available but in the app it indicates not available and vice versa. Not impressed.

Convenient for level 2 at 9.7KW

Doesn’t show price

Other apps will show you what the cost is to charge. This one doesn’t.

This is an essential feature as predatory charging stations with insanely high charging costs are being installed.
