ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EV Charging Stations Map+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV Charging Stations Map+ has 1.9K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of EV Charging Stations Map+'s written reviews are positive against 29% of ChargeUP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EV Charging Stations Map+ ships an update weekly, ChargeUP every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
