What's New in PlugShare

7.38.0

August 31, 2026

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!

Great Way to Start

If you find yourself with an electric car you’re going to need this kind of help!

Blocked by non EVs

Non EVs blocking access to the charger. No green parking bay so it’s hard for other drivers to see that it’s an EV charger.

Need additional charging stations.

I’ve tried charging my car several different times during the day and there is always a wait time to get a charger. I love the concept but concerned about having enough time.

Suck

Had to make an account to use it. Then it loads for ever and never let me charger and I’m not going try a second time because it’s one of the one that chargers you $50 in advance so I wasn’t going make it charger my card twice for it to just not charger.
