Excellent EV Charging App
“Very useful and reliable app for finding EV charging stations. The map is easy to use, and the information from other users is extremely helpful when planning trips. Highly recommended for EV drivers.”
An essential app
I can’t really take a long car trip in my EV without PlugShare. Precise information about stations along your route, distances between them, and useful commentary from users. It’s a must-have.
Location
Good to know where the ev charger is, when I need to charge I don’t have to search, just jump to this app and I find it
THE BEST!
If you have an EV, you gotta have PlugShare!
Buggy app
It’s too soon to tell how accurate the charger data is, but it does seem to correspond to what native charging networks say.
But PlugShare’s app is buggy, surprising for such an established app. Examples:
1. If you try to create a new account using Hide My Email, the autofill password is not saved and there is no way to recover it, as you must first verify the email which requires that password.
2. The ad for a paid subscription often covers up the button needed to complete an action.
3. Adding home charger locations may or may not actually work; the ones I added appear nowhere, and I find no place that lists them.
4. I got several network errors, so maybe they’re having server trouble.
5. Routing is ok, but once you add an intermediate station you can’t add others on the route, such as to top off your charge before entering a remote area or to indicate a backup charging location.
