## What is RE?

The RE:CHARGE INDIA app and website is brought to you by PlugInIndia.com in association with Hytech

### 1/5 — Can’t decipher city or pin code

*2022-03-23*

Useless.

### 1/5 — Does not include Tata and Govt stations

*2020-12-19*

Rated 1 star so that you will notice the review. The charging stations shown on Tata’a app is not available. Please fix this to make this app better.

### 5/5 — Serves the purpose very well

*2018-07-26*

Update 2018
They seem to have updated the app and have added more varied points including DC Fast Chargers. 

Since i use an electric car a lot between Pune and Mumbai and all around Pune (Lonavala, Lavasa, Mahabaleshwar)  This app is a boon. 
The feature that i use the most is this - Find the nearest charge point around ‘your location’ and uses Google Maps inbuilt.
This has ensured that i don’t use Google Maps app anymore!
Very cool app. All the features work as mentioned.
I hope they add more social and commenting features.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2016-11-03*

Dear Recharge India Team,
I really admire your efforts and labour to go all the way to create an app to educate EV drivers and help them charge their cars and plan effective drives. Trust me you are leading a change in this country which the future generations will be grateful to. Your new update absolutely rocks. Keep up the good work. Every mile covered in an EV is towards restoring the planet which God so beautifully made.

### 5/5 — Best app if you drive electric vehicle in India

*2016-03-23*

App lists all charging stations near to your location and show complete information like charging price, distance, driving direction. Must have app for EV guys.

### 5/5 — Purpose Built. Purpose “Served”!

*2016-03-23*

This is a simple app. It does a simple job. It does that well. 

It even allows me to add my own home, and office, as a charge point and hence help the community in the process.

Range anxiety is an EV owner’s biggest fear… maybe because we have nothing else to worry about since there are no oil changes, engine part failures, etc. This app helps put me at ease about where I can charge my EV. Especially on longer trips to Pune, or Mahabaleshwar. In fact even when we first purchased our car more than 2 years ago this was our only “worry”. 

Hats off guys (team). Well done! :-)

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0 — 2018-07-06

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Hello Electric Vehicle Community of India!
Here are the release notes and changes in version 2.0 of the RE:ChargeIndia app. 

1) New Icons representing different types of EV Charge Point/Station
    - Community Charge Point (Business) - Green Pin with Tea 
    - Community Charge Point (Residence) - Green Pin with Home
    - Mahindra Electric Charge Point - Red Pin with ME logo
    - Ather Grid Charge Pod - Black pin with Ather logo
    - DC Fast Charge Station - Blue pin with Lightning logo 
    - Sun Mobility Battery Swap Station - Orange Pin with Battery Swap icon

2) Extra Information shown when user taps on any Pin
    - Distance from user’s location
    - What type of Community Point is this?

3) More charge point types & statistics in the filter type screen. User can filter specific types of charge points and view filtered pins on the map.

4) Revamped the UI of Charge Point Detail screen
     Kept things simpler. Many Icons at the top  are eliminated - Some were clickable, some were not. This caused confusion. Only comment icon, data and share button are visible at the top.  The Google Map icon is updated.

5) Revamped the UI of Comments Screen. The old comments UI was clunky and not new generation.

6) Automatically check and alert user to update Charge Point database locally.
     The old version of the app , did not alert users , if there were more charge points updated in the server. The app expected the user to manually go to ‘Update Charge Point’ screen and hit on ‘Update Now’ Button. This resulted in some users having latest database and many users not updating at all !
To avoid this inconsistency, the app automatically checks the server and if there are new charge points.
This, we hope will encourage more users to have latest set of data.

7) Start Location Screen is updated

8) Update Charge Point Data
    - Mahindra Electric has given us updated database of their dealer locations, service stations etc. Many of their old points installed in 2013 are removed from the database. 
    - Ather Energy have given us their charge point list.
    - Sun Mobility Battery Swap Stations are also listed.
    - Community charge points are divided into ‘Residence and Business’
    - DC Fast Charge Stations are now shown in the app!
    - Eliminated old unreliable points.

9) Fixed Miscellaneous bugs to improve stability
