Jason from Hobe Sound is Life saver. I was in Melbourne,FL @ 452 New Haven recently installed FPL Evolution stand -alone charging stations. I was 100 miles from home. The first person wanted to send me a form to fill out. There were 2 other gentlemen there at the same place and time when Jason phoned back; worked some magic and we three were on our way home happy EV users and new friends . I forgot to mention how FAST the charging session took!

In general, a great app. Mostly, it’s good. I do have a few nitpicks, though, that would improve it: 1. Show the dates on all photos (even those with captions) and let us sort by date or popularity 2. Address the performance issue after using it to check lots of stations. The app becomes slow and the phone gets warm. Usually force-quitting the app resolves the issue. 3. A reputation system would be very nice. Allow upvotes (only, no downvotes to prevent bullying) for comments, pics, maybe even updates to station details. 4. Trip planner needs work. There should be a “back” to change the settings for the trip (car, locations, ranges). The ranges should be clearer about what they mean and how they’re used. It should allow multiple destinations. 5. Being able to be notified about new stations “near me” is nice, but I’d rather be notified about stations near specific OTHER places (work, relatives’ homes, etc.). 6. The check-ins should show the station the submitter picked, if they picked one. Again, mostly the app works great and is a wonderful tool for all of us. Thanks for making it and for helping us all out!

Wonderful ev charging app. This app is perfect. If your looking for an app that shows you a map of every ev charging station in the United States. This is the one for you. It shows you the location how much it cost to park or charge. It lets you start charging from within the app. People can also leave reviews of the charging stations along with photos. It will also tell you what type of plugs the station has and what amenities it has. Been using this app for over a year now and have nothing but great things to say about it. I wish all ev owners knew about this app. Truly life changing

Works great. UPDATE: I think my earlier issue was actually an Apple problem. The website is working normally now. And the password is being shared between the app and my iCloud Keychain, which was not the case before. Given that I haven’t updated the app in between not working and working, but I did reboot my phone, I strongly suspect something had gotten wedged in my keychain. Thanks to PlugShare’s support team for contacting me to track down the problem. Now it works great! Upping the review to 5 stars. Original review: The app is actually quite good, but the associated website manages to break Safari’s strong password generator/saver more thoroughly than I thought possible.

Great consolidated app- Apple Watch a plus!!. This app is personally my favorite. I don't care what brand I charge at I just want to know if the station works!! This site makes checking in super easy. I have found the ratings and color scheme to be clear and concise. Eventually it would be great to be able to open your blink or ChargePoint account from this app so you could start charging via the watch or your phone. But hey- this is overall a really slick app!

CarPlay improvement. When trying to find desired charger all in view are listed but no easy way to tell which you want. List on left appears to be random. Allow user to click on charger to highlight it to display on the left. I always have to zoom in until only the one I think I want is visible and that is only one on list to be sure. Need to be able to change filter (e.g. DCFC vs J1772) on the screen without using phone.

The worst EV app and chargers. The whole point of an app connected to a charging network is to simplify the experience of owning an EV. If you want a smooth experience, I recommend EVgo or ChargePoint. Download this app only if you’re an app developer so you can explain how to rebuild this from scratch or if you’re a glutton for frustration. Registering is like running into the walls of a maze. Using the chargers is next to impossible unless you have a fob you can use to connect to the charger. Trying to connect from the app (once I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to do it) yielded multiple failures with no explanation of the problem and no way to go back to fix whatever problems arose. You have to go back to the beginning. There are no directions on the chargers themselves, and the 800# led me to a customer service agent who had no idea how to solve my problem. The aggravation of the entire experience made me question why I bought a Leaf. This company made the range anxiety nightmare of every EV driver come to life.

Great keeps getting better. This is the only app that really matters for all EV drivers and I’m amazed it hasn’t been acquired by a bigger company yet. Without this app, our 2000 mile road trip would not have been possible and I use it whenever I’m going anywhere I’m going to need a charge away from home. I was very excited when they added Trip Planner to their web platform. And now that they’ve added Pay with PlugShare, it’s edging closer to the “can’t live without” status. My first time reviewing an app, because I want more people to use it. Especially the check in feature. Fingers crossed for Apple Car Play integration.

Beats Google Maps easily. This is the one app that consistently tells me about charger locations and provides details to find them from any/all brands and providers. Community members can add comments if a charger is out of service or full, which is really helpful on road-trips. I just use the filter (funnel icon) to select charges suitable for my car. Google maps is improving, but experience has repeatedly shown me that Google is not always up to date. Even when Google gets it right, it provides little or no info on exact plug location, and doesn’t detail cost, hours of public access, etc. Plug Share users are the best! PlugShare users make

You gotta have it, but it could be improved.. Plug Share is basic for electric driving. It's the leader in car charging apps, letting you know at a glance where the nearest charging station is. The future of electric driving depends on an extensive publicly accessible charging infrastructure, and PlugShare is the way to connect to it. Since I wrote this two years ago, I've noticed a few wrinkles. For example, it's hard to figure out how many miles are between chargers on the map. A mileage indicators would help. And the trip planning function is difficult to use. For all that, though, it's the one service that unites all the difference charging providers on one map. I still say you gotta have it.

Helps with planning travel. PlugShare is the only app I’ve found that reliably offers info about a wide variety of charging stations. It helped us plan a road trip to Monterey and find available stations for our rental car in Boston. (We paid no $ to drive ~150 round trip to Monterey in our Ioniq 5 and ~$8.00 to drive ~300 miles visiting friends/family all around Boston in our rented Hyundai Kona.) When we needed a new car, PlugShare helped me feel comfortable ditching gas-powered cars and going all electric.

Excellent Blueprint for Locating Charging Stations. I found the App to be quick, accurate and direct, in locating charging stations for my wife’s Tesla Starship. Accurate to the max, the App revealed the distances our automobile was from various charging stations listed. In Kettleman, CA, one of America’s farming belts, is a huge charging station with some 40 charging posts. Each was housed beneath a weather-protecting aluminum roof. While our auto was charging, we entered the TESLA building, plugged in our laptops, used the restrooms, and worked and talked as we sat in comfortable lounge chairs. We had already eaten lunch, so we didn’t need anything from the snack bar. Thank you for this App, reliable with precision.

Mostly awesomeness. Pretty solid app. It really takes away from the convolution of most other apps which are inaccurate (e.g. most apps don’t update stations permanently out of service). My only feedback is this: A generous chunk of users don’t check-in. The app also doesn’t show stations currently in-use. So if users don’t check in, and you can’t tell the station and use, you may find yourself driving to various stations without a general idea of whether stations are actually in-use or not.

Looks like a charging station. The charging stations and the app are useless. I wonder if they are funded by oil companies. It is impossible to download an app deep in a parking garage. Their station wouldn’t take my credit card by phone. Then when you do get the app, what’s the first thing you want to do? Create an account and link a credit card, right? Nowhere on the app is it obvious where to do this. It should be right in your face. Instead there are lots of menus to explore, with no options to sign up. My Prius Prime is, as we speak, sitting in a charging space, plugged in and ready to go. But not charging due to poor software. Congratulations on having installed some pretty blue lighting. Totally useless for solving global warming.

Favorite for finding Chargers. This is probably *the* best app for locating chargers of any kind. It's ability to apply filters to find only fast chargers, or only free chargers, or if road-tripping and you only want chargers at hotels, etc. This is the way to do it. Also... while other apps tell where a charger *should* be, the community of PlugShare users is great about telling you how to navigate to hard-to-find chargers (e.g. not easily visible when you reach the location ... such as in a parking deck or hiding behind a building, etc.). Also also... great at telling you which chargers are actually reliable.

Over all excellent and essential EV long trip tool. PlugShare is an extremely valuable tool for anyone doing long distance traveling with an EV. The crowd source information about charger status is far superior to those provided by the vehicle manufacturers. I use it when planning trips where I’ll need to charge on my way to a destination. I’ll often refer to it during the trip to see if any has posted a recent problems with a charger I plan on using. I also post my experiences at each location I charged. The trip planning tool provides you a comprehensive list of charger locations. However other apps provide you with more specific destinations to charge. I do strongly recommend this app to any EV user.

unreliable for trip planning -UPDATE. as noted below I had some issues with trips disappearing. After a few days and several messages exchanged with the support team, my trips have reappeared. Support team’s follow up was very good and helpful. Changing my rating from one star to four (should not have happened in the first place) but thanks to the support team for a good follow up. I have spent hours preparing a trip to a remote area in the USA, happy to have found listings of various chargers for my EV. I planned waypoints accordingly resting points places to spend the night I saved my trip at several occasions only to find today but it has all disappeared. The frustration of having spent so much time and having it disappear is huge. I cannot recommend this site nor its accompanying app since neither has managed to save my work.

Must-have app for EV drivers. This is by far the best, most feature-rich, and most up-to-date charging station application. It includes chargers from every network, and information is constantly updated by a highly-responsive admin team. They have done a great job receiving my feedback and updating info so my local charging stations show up correctly. There’s even a feature where you can see how busy a specific charger is at different times of day, or receive an alert when a charger becomes available. If you drive an EV, you need this app!

All EV and plug-in hybrid drivers should use this app. This app allows you to be courteous and share charging times with other people. You can text user to find out when they’re going to finish; leave messages concerning your vehicle; etc. i’ve used it when I haven’t been able to return to my vehicle in time to let others know that they can unplug my vehicle so that they can charge.

I'd be lost without it. Plugshare keeps my range anxiety at a low simmer. Like the old jingle, I never leave home without it. One improvement I'd appreciate is the ability to view the altitude graph between the last charging stop and the final destination. As well as the ability to see the altitude graph for a trip that does not apparently require a charging stop, since some trips in mountainous terrain might not be possible in fact without a charging stop.

BEST EV CAR APP!. This app is a must for anyone using an electric car for their first time! And with the latest updates the travel planner is very helpful! Don’t forget to log on to their website on a computer, it helps there too if you don’t want to be confined to a phone/iPad. I wish I knew about this app before I bought my Hyundai Ioniq electric. I realized that I can’t go from SoCal to Las Vegas. Let alone to Salt Lake City its going to take A LOT longer than traveling in a gas powered car. The 124 range on my car just won’t do it for long trips. There are not enough charge stations. This app gives you all the info you need to adjust from a gas powered car to electric. Enjoy!

Colorblind mode option???. Great app, very happy with the ability to quickly narrow down options based on type of charger. New to having an EV vehicle so I’ve been exploring different places I might go to. Unfortunately, I’m colorblind and I absolutely cannot distinguish the difference between a level 3 port and level 1/2s in the map (have to ask my fiancé which ones are level 3 and then memorize it) and can’t find a filter to apply for this. It would be great if you could filter to show only level 3 chargers or to have a colorblind mode where the level 3 ports were distinguished by a more distinct color or even by a different shape

Used to be great!. Plugshare used to be go to for trip planning. But it recently was acquired and now, it’s not working properly. I can only pull up super charger stations. It Does not allow me to pull up any other types of charging stations. I have tried to reset settings several times it will also go through. Where I had to login again and start a fresh. Lastly, when the changeover happened, it deleted all of my trips that I had stored in PlugShare. I keep thinking that the PlugShare magic will come back, but it hasn’t yet and I am about to delete it as it doesn’t work for the purposes of trip planning anymore, since I can only see super chargers.

Would be brilliant if not for one nagging issue. This nagging issue is: only ChargePoint is showing up in the app. I have DnR’ed the app twice, all filters are set to show all, and still, only ChargePoint is visible. Only after entering the address of other chargers do you see them. This app worked well on first install. I setup a trip, really easy, including all chargers I needed. Then, when doing a second trip back to my home, only ChargePoint were visible. I had to go to the other app(s) to get the address and enter each stop manually. I may return if this issue is fixed, but I feel a universal EV trip planning app is a fallacy at this stage. It is better to plan your trip using Waze/Apple Maps or other mapping system for now.

Life Saver. This app was a life saver when I first got my electric car. I live in an apartment so am completely dependent on public chargers. I spent hours on this app finding convenient chargers that match my plug near every place I frequent, and I still have some nearby chargers I haven't even tried yet. I am so fortunate to live in Oregon with a half-way decent infrastructure supporting electric vehicles! This app essentially made it possible and easily workable for me to own an electric car. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it. Thank you!

Purchase beware. I love all the EV applications out there the draw back on these applications is the power draw that has been occurring ever since I downloaded them I don’t know why this would be occurring so if you download any of them I Recommend turning off the background app refresh in each one so they don’t drain your battery on your phone I currently have an iPhone 11. I had a full charge and with in 1 hour it was gone.

Cannot create new location. After the latest app update I cannot create a new location. I have latest iOS update. I can press create and place the pin on the map but cannot save to get to the next screen where I input all the location data. Map filter allows me to filter by charge rate in kw. However most chargers have no data. Where do we input charge rate on a station for this filter to work. Currently it’s not really useful. I can filter the map by network but the most common networks in Denmark are not shown. Most of those shown do not even exist in Denmark. Almost all chargers go into the other category making this filter practically useless. Can more relevant networks be added to the filter?

Great App But Mapping Needs Serious Improvements. PlugShare user since buying my EV in 2019. Well done, an essential app for all EV users. Biggest pro: it’s awesome showing the type, few, location of charging stations available around you when in a non-familiar city or location. Biggest con: The mapping function could use some serious updating and improvement. When traveling long distances I have to map out my required charges on Plugshare’s mapping tool. But when I’m in the car, I have to run both PlugShare and Google Maps at the same time so I can see in live-time where I am in relation to upcoming charging stations. My recommendations for maps would be to show my car movement live, on my pre-planned Plugshare map, like Google Maps does; add a button or mechanism to update current distance to a selected charging station in real time (I currently have to create a new map every time I want to check my distance to a pre-planned/mapped charging station); and update the map UI, it definitely feels outdated, almost early MAcintosh/MS-Dos like.

App is no longer an objective source. This app is a great concept, but unfortunately, it has been taken over by the charging providers. It no longer provides objective information. There are many reviews that are fake. I have tried to contact several check-in reviewers by sending them a message, but somehow, when I click send on the message, the app reports an error, with no explanation. These “bugs” only happen on certain reviews, which any human can tell are fake. There are also many times when I have tried to add stations, or check ins with details, that immediately get remove the next day. Who is removing them?

Can no longer filter by plug type. With version 6.01, on an iPhone, you can no longer filter by plug type so all charging locations now appear on the map regardless of whether they are compatible with your car and regardless of the speed of the charger. On the iPad you can still filter by plug type, but the filter settings are lost each time you run the app so you have to select the plug types every time. Also, while using the app, as you navigate arounnd and resize the screen, the filter settings are randomly lost and must be reset. What was once a great app isss now painful to use.

Simply lifesaving. Honestly with my Nissan Leaf Plus I can’t think of any app that I depend on more than this. I plan my trips and check charger reviews and enable notifications about chargers when I’m about to start a trip so that I get a heads up about charger issues. I would so much love a CarPlay version of this if Apple would allow it, but even as it is now the app is amazing. Update: with the CarPlay support added this app is amazing. Thank you!!!

Hillsborough, NC to Durango, CO. Plug Share haas made trip planning interesting and fun. As you are aware, long distance travel requires careful consideration of your charging stops. This trip ze will see the Bolt fully loaded including a rooftop carrier and a spare tire. With the hot August temps and uncertain weather, I have reviewed many potential stops along the way. The reviews from website users are very up to date and helpful. I can’t wait to get started. Plug share is one of the cheapest anti anxiety medications on the market!

PlugShare is Invaluable above all Others. Thank you PlugShare for all you do that make free and super low cost Charging possible! With 11 Regional and National RoadTrips in the Chevy Bolt(ATL to Nashville and Back Regional and Portland, OR to ATL and ATL to NYC National as an example) and 91,000 miles including almost 2,000 DoorDashes and 600 Roadies all for the cost of about $7.50 in Fuel costs! The last time I paid for fuel to drive was in Kansas last October(2021) and since then I went to Buffalo, NY and the NC Coast for $0.00! Without PlugShare this would have been impossible!

Charging at Panola Rd. I love this spot just off the highway on Panola Road. I come here sometimes in my way home to top up. They’re 3 charging stations here and a Tesla Supercharger beside this charging station. Charging is pretty simple and smooth. The funny thing is every time I come here there is a Tesla Model Y parked almost blocking on of the charging station. I’ve been here at least 4 occasions and this red Tesla Model Y is here every time. Beside this jackass that’s blocking the spot it’s a good place to get groceries or snacks. It’s clean and looks presentable.

Gave us flexibility and peace of mind planning routes across the country. Last month’s round trip between east coast and Kansas was our first in a new Model Y. In some areas like S Missouri good charging stations are scarce or nonexistent. Nobody wants to end up running out of juice and learn there’s no charging in range ahead-and backtracking is required. We carried cables and converters for all charger types, but never had to use anything but superchargers and lower power (and free) Tesla connections at several motels. Being able to map out entire 1500 mile northern and southern routes, planning for adequate charging and our overnight stops was pretty easy and confidence building. It took only an hour or so the evening before each of our 1500 mile legs. Then we were free to enjoy the drive and scenery with no anxiety. PlugShare is a very nice complement to Tesla’s on board navigation to one’s next charge station.

They take more money. So I used PlugShare for the first time yesterday. It automatically took $30 when I connected my car to the charging station. My change was actually free because the gym I go to gives 3 hours free and $5 an hour if you exceed that. I was only at the gym about 30 mins. When I went on the app to see if I had a remaining balance of $30 from the charge earlier and nothing! I can’t even find where the balance would be. I checked my email to see if maybe I received a receipt for the charge and nothing again! I am so upset that they don’t give a trace for the money taken and don’t allow you to see how much money is available on your account! I feel scammed!

PlugShare is Great!. UPDATE: It’s been five years since bought our Volt, and even at 120,000 miles, the honeymoon continues! PlugShare has been our constant companion in our travels around our state, as hurricane evacuees, as eclipse tourists, and when driving halfway across America to visit family. PlugShare has reliably guided us to charging, when we need it. It’s a “Must Have” for EV drivers. Five years ago, we wrote... My wife and I are new to EV ownership. We have owned a Chevy Volt for less than a month, but we LOVE it! The challenge to any EV driver is locating reliable places to charge. PlugShare solves that problem, and is paving the future for personal transportation in the USA. PlugShare was recommended by members of our local EV club, and using it has been excellent. It is well laid out and reliable. Even though we are new users, we've already listed our own home charger, and have reported on existing EVSE that we have used. We give PlugShare a big thumbs up!

My go-to EV charging app for when I travel!. Go-to app for EV charging when I travel! Most of the other charging apps are charging-brand dedicated. Plug Share covers everybody’s chargers, including private home chargers that you can arrange with the owner to use. The reviews by other users are also very helpful. Checking in and reviewing is really easy! This app is extremely handy both for on-the-go driving, and for trip planning. The only reason it gets four instead of five stars is because locating where YOU are on the map is not obvious. There’s a little compass arrow on the map that you have to press. It took me ages to figure that out!

Essential for the non-Tesla EV, Important for Tesla. We just drove from Sacramento to San Diego, PlugShare eased the way in our new Chevy Bolt. It still has shortcomings, but nothing else comes close. Info on individual charging stations is uneven, especially what level of charge is offered; planning needs improvement but is workable once you figure out how to use it; and not everybody "checks in" so which stalks are available isn't always correct. But there's no living without it!

Amazing resource. We’ve all heard about range anxiety when it comes to electric cars, PlugShare goes a long way in helping ev owners overcome some of that anxiety. Our car came with two years of free charging so we hit the road. 15,000 miles in less than a year, from our home in NM, we’ve been to the coast of VA and the coast of CA and many places in between. PlugShare was with us on every mile. Letting us know what to expect as we bounced from stop to stop. It truly helps being able to read reports from other ev owners that traveled the same roads and used the same charging stations. Thanks PlugShare.

Evie relies on this app!. IT’S THE ONLY APP YOU NEED for up-to-date information on available charging stations. Many thanks for developing a great app. Not just for finding chargers but for the rating system also. The 10 point scale is very helpful so that the user knows the reliability of a station also. I like that it is constantly updated by users for real-time information on the status of charging stations. Of course, the only drawback is also that it relies on the check-ins of users for the info. Also, if someone checks in, you can communicate with them through the app if you need the charger.

Private chargers. If the point of the app is to fanboi out about ev’s it’s doing great. If the point is to find a place to charge your car then this is not suited to the task. Like a pipe wrench used to hammer a nail it can work in a pinch. 98 percent of the listings are private lots. Whether they are business owned employee lots, hotels requiring a stay, businesses requiring a non-ev charge purchase or a private home, they are restricted public access and the app needs to have the ability to filter them out. Currently there are only toggles for private home and hotel. Thus the reason for the second star. Want to make it five star? Have the default map setting for full public access only. If I want to apply for a job with a business that offers employee charging, let me toggle it on to see my options.

Thank you for the recent update. Thank you for adding the ability to hide networks and dealerships. It creates a much more meaningful map as it now only shows truly available charging location. The only additional request I would have is to add a “report bad plug” to the check in. I will often be able to charge at a location, but 2 of the 4 plugs at that station will not work. Because I am able to charge, the station rating goes up or stays at 10, even though it is not really a “10” location.

More PlugShare c. Hello, we need more plugs rin Southfield Michigan. Meijers at 12mile and Telegraph do not have a PlugShare. I ask Meijers to get a PlugShare in their parking lot. The Manager stated that’s what the Biden administration infrastructure plan is about. I stated, I have to walk with my groceries Across telegraph to get to my car at Nissan Motors where my car is connected to PlugShare. I also stated to the manager they needed a PlugShare. He said they can’t afford it. I said Livonia’s Meijers has several, and Oakland County was the 3rd richest county in America. Then he said he would look in to it. Please add several PlugShares at Meijers 12 mile and telegraph. I talk to a tall middle age handsome white man. Thank you so much. Sept 8, 2021 Patrine Rice

No user editing ability. Apparently, the ability to edit a charging station’s information has been removed from recent app versions. One of PlugShare’s great strengths WAS its crowd-sourced information by actual charger station users/customers. I tried to update a local station that recently added a Tesla plug, but I cannot find a way to edit. And the app’s Help feature provides inaccurate editing instructions that are apparently no longer available. Update: The developer has informed me that some station owners request that the users be barred from editing their listings. Good to know. I have three suggestions. First, I’d suggest that PlugShare develop a process to enable and encourage these station owners to keep their listings up to date (e.g. “New Tesla connector available at this station.”). If users can’t edit station info, the owners should make darn sure to update their listings to reflect changes in status and features. Second, the app’s Help function should explain that some stations may not be editable by users. (Currently, the Help function doesn’t mention this, and that’s unnecessarily confusing. Third, station listings should clearly indicate whether stations may or may not be edited by users right on the listing (perhaps in place of the edit button?). My rating stands at 3 Stars. PlugShare remains an essential EV app, but its usefulness has declined as a result of these changes.

Please add the new Apple Maps in the app. The plugshare app is a lifesaver when owing an EV. Super helpful! Love all integrations and the software dev team that make this app work! My only wish is for them to add the new upgraded detailed Apple Maps within the app. I recently experienced the new Apple Maps in other apps and the lookaround feature is super handy and the level of detail makes maps stand apart within apps. I think adding the detailed Apple Maps would help users of plugshare see where chargers are.

Get rid of “1st leg” results in Trips section. I’m updating my rating from 3 stars to 2 stars. After several year, for the life of me, I can t understand why you don’t update your trip function to include ALL Filtered chargers on a planned route, not just the first handful. Especially for those looking to do a long trip, you can’t plan it around just the first handful of chargers on your route. And clicking on “show all” crowds the map with too many chargers. Get on this, please! The Charge Way app does this just fine, showing all relevant chargers on a planned route. And you (PlugShare) at least used to do this on the web browser. What can’t you unlock this simple functionality for the app? *********************** Please get rid of the “1st leg” limiting results in the Trips section and show all of the filtered results. It’s infuriating to not get all of the EVSE results for a planned trip and only get a portion (unless you do a “show all” which shows everything in the country and not just your route). Is this limitation on purpose? Because this limitation is not in your web GUI version. The EVSE search function is great, but that’s just roughly 50% of the apps functionality. The Trip Planner section is annoyingly “stunted”, and prevents it from being worthy of a 5 star one-stop-shop app.

Great Idea Possibly?. Tie my vehicle in as WiFi hotspot, wireless charging station and idk.. possibly connect to mi cloud of thus of wind be me as best as could be thus imagined to be such much easier than jockalocka of infinite actually physical storage thrust? I mean, cyto quantum sepremecly speaking of course of which we know actually may or may not numerate to like um.. us.. with maybe all other things aside like um storage of all such things that would be of what we care to possibly even think to have to remember? 🤪

Stranded and responded to like it didn’t matter. If your app is down and people rely on it, you have to tell them. Not having enough “fuel” to get from one place to the next is a big deal. I was stranded and have to rent a car because of the lack of consideration from the company. Send an email to put up an error notice, like, duh? When I contacted them they took a week to respond and then down played how their mistake affected me. Covid is not an excuse anymore, you all aren’t working in a factory your on your couch. It’s fine that errors happen but you have to be responsible for them and communicate them and not excuse them with privileged excuses. People rely on your service not having it causes harm. Being stranded somewhere is a big deal. I will no longer use this company and will actively tell people what kind of people operate it. I was literally gaslight and passive aggressively addressed about my concern.

Glitchy, incompatible with Semaconnect stations. I saw Plugshare’s 5 star ratings and figured that it would perform much better than Semaconnect’s 2 star app. So when I needed to start charging my EV at my apartment complex, I downloaded PlugShare and forgot that Semaconnect had its own app. This was my mistake. When initiating a session with PlugShare, my car would never start charging. After the two minute window, the session would time out as if I didn’t plug in my vehicle. I definitely did. After several calls to Semaconnect customer service, I realized that I needed to use Semaconnect’s app. When I tried initiating a charge with that app, my car started charging within seconds. I guess I’ll give Plugshare two stars because my car did charge about 20% of the time.

Ad Free One Off Purchase. App is so essential for owning an EV. Wish there was a one off payment option to remove ads, then I would consider.

Latest update ruined ability to check in. Latest update seems to have removed the ability to actually check in whilst you’re charging. Given the whole point of the app is to show if someone is charging, removing this functionality and only able to add a “charged” status is kind of against the point..:

The one EV app you need to carry around. There’s no excuse not to check charger reviews when on a road trip or preparing to charge at your fav spot. Just don’t be a jerk and expect everyone to check in like you do.

Essential App. I’ve had the opportunity to do a long term test of a Nissan Leaf, and this app has been an essential part of my trip planning as I have traveled well out of the city.

Excellent Source of Information for charging locations. The PlugShare app provides the best information across all provides we have seen in the market. Information is validated by photographs to make it easier to find chargers. Comments on facilities around charges are also very useful.

Fantastic App. This app is fantastic, thanks to the devs who are doing a great job of letting us know where we can charge our EVs!

Great app that could do with a few tweaks. Fantastic app, easy to use, but would love something where you could route properly, but other than that informative, quick and easy to use.

Easy to use. This is a great app. Very easy to use. Shows all the different types of charge points. If you have an EV you need this app.

Best App for Finding Recharging Locations. As promised in my previous review, I’m giving this app five stars now it has CarPlay support. It would be useful if it automatically/continuously centred the map around your current location rather than having to click the current location arrow though.

Can only check in ‘successfully charged’ now. Worked well for years but months ago noticed option to check in as ‘charging’ and select duration no longer available. Other users still able to check in normally

Obviously made by EV drivers!. Fantastic and unique features. Takes all the work and stress out of planning a long distance trip. The Check-In notes are very handy!

Absolute necessary for EV owners.. Sharing the knowledge of where EV chargers are, whether they are working and when you are using them is vital for a caring, sharing EV community. PlugShare is what we need. Should be compulsory for all EV users.

Wry helpful. The charger was down today and with a phone call you guys got it up and running for me . Thanks so much

Great to be able to look up. No good on the phone to search. Very difficult to move around and search details on chargers.

Mg ZS EV saver. Great app… able to find a charger 🔌 interstate along the Hume highway plus the added photos help with location of charger. Most NRMA chargers in NSW are still free to use 😁. Melbourne to Canberra 👍 and back

No CCS2 Option for Europe or Australia/NZ. Filters don’t match the plug options in the country the user in in. They are based only on the North American plug choices. Also all the plug icons like for supercharging are the North American plug but Europe and Australia/NZ use CCS2. Makes it difficult to know if a particular charging station will be compatible with my car.

Not working as intended. First day using app. I got a message to say plug was available. I inadvertently jumped the queue. Had no idea anyone else was waiting. Got asked to message the waiting user, got “network error, failed to send” message despite good phone and internet connection

Was good but latest update has ruined the app.. This was an awesome app to easily let other ev users know when they were charging, how long they were going to be and make comments on if there were any issues with the charge. With the latest update you now can only make comments. Bring back the old capabilities please.

The must have EV app.. PlugShare is perhaps the best app to have with your EV. It’s really easy to filter plugs that match your car, and find charging stations around you, with lots of community support providing information and reporting failed chargers. Trip planner feature is again invaluable, to find charging locations on your journey. Even if you don’t yet have an EV, this app is great at showing you just how dense the charging network is becoming, giving you more confidence to switch.

Predefined vehicles make specifications setting impossible. This looks like a great app, until you try to add a vehicle. You are presented with a long list of manufacturers and then models. If your vehicle is there, then you select it and should be all set to go. But you can't actually tell ... Lets say you have a Hyundai IONIQ Elite MY22. You can't find that particular vehicle in the list, so you select the closest one. Australia has a Premium that has the same technical specs but a different trim. You can only find the 2021. Its not clear if thats the "model year" or the "build year". You select it. Is it correct? You cant tell. The actual technical details of the vehicle you have selected are not displayed. Ok, well I know my vehicle specs, can I add a custom vehicle? Nope, no go. You'd have thought that this'd be a good way of collecting vehicle specifications, but no cant add your own and cant check to see if what you have selected is correct. This problem wouldn't be too bad if the database was correct. Unfortunately the Hyundai listings have models that I've not seen in Australia and don't use the model identification (eg MY22, build year 2021) that I have seen. How about you make the basic vehicle specifications visible so they can be checked and allow people to add their own custom vehicles? Then it'd be a great app.

Overall this app is perfect for ev owners. Easily find chargers that may not be visible from standard maps on your phone and get reviews and photos on each place. One problem I am having is that the some chargers do not appear on the map though they come back after a while

Handy but needs work. Great to have a single point of info on charge stations. I haven’t been able to set my home charger type correctly to Type 2. This doesn't seem to be an option.

Car play candidate for sure?. Love this app, to make it even more perfect!, could we have it adjusted to work with car play? Just imagine if one could use it via Apple Car play, how perfect it could be.

Good, but needs more thought and development. I’m order to get closer to providing a charging experience for all males and models the CarPlay experience needs some work. This app should absolutely include the ability to see if the charger is assumed to be available (based on check-in data) and the ability to check into a charger via the CarPlay experience. This would make it easy for people to check-in and then more likely to actually check-in which will provide your customers with more reliable information on if the charger is actually available or not.

Thanks PlugShare. Up to date user info on charge options. The app is the place to find all new charge locations.

PlugShare. Useful tool, but would be better if there was more colour coding of different speed chargers to help quick identification and selection of options available.

Essential. If you have an EV, you absolutely need this. Find all the places to charge your car. And, if you happen upon a new charging point as the infrastructure expands, you can add details to share for others

Location services. Great app but just wish whenever you open the app it would automatically find your current location! Because at the moment it still shows the previous location you were at instead of your current location instead of clicking on clicking on the find my location button when it should automatically find you now!

Brilliant Excellent you won’t regret it. Brilliant, love all the comments we can make and photos we can share. 2.5 years later this is the best app for EV users.

Posts unpublished. Multiple locations added with photos and pertinent details, published, then disappeared after some time?

Would be lost without this app.. There is no app I know of that does what this one does. Helps find car chargers anywhere. Mapping needs help but I use Google maps once I've found a charger so it works well for me.

Where are so many of the missing ChargeFox/NRMA/QldElectrics?. Planning a trip with PlugShare is almost useless if you haven’t checked the chargers from Google Maps or the charger companies’ apps. Nothing to be seen on the Gold Coast, The Farm at Ewingsdale/Byron etc. Have they failed to pay PlugShare to be included? Don’t trust PlugShare, go to Googlemaps if nothing else.

Great, but needs a better rout planner. Great work on this app, but it would be very helpful if it would plan a journey for you, from charger to charger, in a way that is customised to the range of your vehicle and via the appropriate charters that suit your car.

Handy. This location is very easy for me to use coming up to Melbourne from Traralgon. More expensive than the rest but has all the conveniences :-)

The best EV charge point finder ever. I have used this app for over a year now and is the best I have found. The user reports are great and the photos help with finding the charger location. I thoroughly recommend this to any EV driver. I would love to be able to use it with CarPlay. Is it possible to do this?

Essential App for EV users. PlugShare provides the best way of finding charging stations. I rely on it for all my trip planning. I urge all EV users to sign in on PlugShare whenever they are charging.

Great app. I’m glad the map is populated from user input and is not just specific to one network or company. Good work! Thanks.

Tesla model 3. Very helpful , works much better than other apps as showing availability of stations and especially planning for a trip , Definitely will recommande it to everyone .

Not too bad. App works well on an iPhone but freezes on an iPad - ads are annoying but that’s life, I guess. Not sure when the app was last updated.

Does what it says on the pack. If you’re an owner of an EV you can’t go wrong with this app. In most cases I’m finding it even supersedes apps for even Chargepoint as it gives you access to all available technologies in your immediate area.

Doesn’t distinguish between CCS 1 and 2. The app doesn’t distinguish between CCS Type 1 and CCS Type 2 plugs. They are entirely different plugs and not compatible with each other. Feedback has been sent multiple times, but until this gets fixed only 2 stars from me. Will increase once this gets finally fixed.

Feedback was acted on 👏🏻. Timer added back to app because we asked for it and they listened, bravo to the developer 😊👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent app for EV OWNERS. If you own an electric vehicle you need this app. Easy to use and really useful for touring in your EV. Just be aware that you need an account to see all the information available and as it relies on member check ins the data quality can vary.

A real life saver. This is an amazing app . Since the Australian Gov (as of 2020) are quite backward in it’s efforts to support renewable energy- this app is a life saver for people that can’t wait around for the government to set up a comprehensive charging network across Australia

Works well. Seems to have all the information needed to plan a route. Minor bugbear is that if you update your email it continues to reported as the old email within the app, even when logging in with the new email.

Really useful. Interface is good. Having just bought my first PHEV. I have no idea how to do anything other than charge at home. This app is really helpful at getting my head around all the different stations and which which ones work for my car. After selecting my car, it filters out the unusable stations. The photos and descriptions for each station are helpful for me whilst planning a road trip.

Minimal Features. The main reason I do not like this app is the lack of charge speed filters, the ability to hide “Customer Only” chargers or the option to set to Customer Only as that is different to Access restricted. I just want to find chargers that are 50kw+ and I have to pay to use…

Trip planner is fantastic. We have a MG ZS EV with a range of 220kms, so planning charging stops on long trips is essential. Planning is made so easy by PlugShare. Great to be able to see all the EV chargers irrespective of providers, and great to read fellow motorists’ reviews and see their photos.

Update has unimproved the app. Long term very satisfied user, but the latest update has some improvements but some fundamental problems. Main one is the checkin button. Now if you hit check in you get 3 options - charged successfully, could not charge or comment only. The only way to check in I think, is to leave a comment and then “check in” when you leave. Problem - people will be discouraged from checking in so it’s even harder to know if you’re heading for a charger thats in use, and less likely to be able to message people to get an estimate of the charge time they need

Great Accurate App. I have been using PlugShare for a year now and it is my go to app to find charging points.

Best app. Common app for all EV stations

Convenient easy. Great app to locate chargers everywhere. Use this app in tandem with the app associated with your chosen charger, and you will always find an available charger.

Not a user friendly app. Tried at two charging stns, didn’t work

Charge. No change stations on my gernys or my city

Need to open app on phone first. 2023 Kia Niro EV, highest trim, Canada. When I open the app, the “stations” section is blank. Open the app (wired CarPlay) and then everything populates.

Très bonne application. Très bonne application pour trouver de nouvelles bornes et aussi très utile pour trouver des hôtels avec bornes.

Best app ever. I could not manage charging without this app. It is accurate and the comments about the state of the charging centres are invaluable.

Travel is easy. Worry free travel with plug share, I always know just where I am

Direction filters would be useful. This is a very good app form router planning but it could be even more useful if there were some additional filters of charging locations. When planning one’s route, it would be useful to set a filter for major directions to be travelled. There are many controlled access highways where services can only be accessed for one direction. When planning it would be very useful to show only those service locations in the direction one plans to travel - to show only charge locations east, west, north or southbound. Charge locations at entrance and exits to controlled access routes should still be shown even if a direction filter has been selected.

Indispensable EV app!. map shows just about all the charging stations, public and private, levels and types of chargers, and useful tips from fellow users.

Setup. Awful setup. App kept crashing. Network errors when trying to setup app. Instability. Not impressed

No good. Can’t pay with it what use us it

Best Application for EV-Drivers. Very comprehensive mapping of all EV-Charger stations. Thank You ChargerCrew

Best EV charging app. I’m going to Tofino and PlugShare is displaying lots of EV stations in Tofino whereas another charging app is only showing 1 station. Glad I checked PlugShare. Thanks for being so up-to-date!

need a option as to when stations are available or in use. needs notifications for when stations are busy and available

Excellent Research Tool. This is a great tool for researching road trips and potential charging stops. Info presented is usually reliable but it’s always best to confirm via the dedicated app for the brand of charging station.

This is the EV app. PlugShare is the go to EV app, remember to leave a check in, and use proper EV charging etiquette.

Great app!. Super useful , thanks PlugShare!

Plug share. Pratique facile à trouver les bornes

Ivy is completely unreliable. I would give a 0 star rating if possible. Absolute garbage network and app does nothing to help. offers no assurance you can get down the 401 with a reliable charging network. Go to plugshare before you start a trip on 491 that requires charging because for the most part the Ivy network of chargers cannot be relied upon to get you from A to B.

Vehicle List Needs to be Updated. The app is a must have for anyone with an EV. Still giving it 5 stars, but it would be nice if the vehicle list was updated more frequently. I cannot set my 2021 Kia Soul Limited (model not sold in the US but 2021 - 2023 + are sold in Canada)

Charging in Miami. Are you serious ,it was the worst nightmare ever.A city like SouthBeach,a true shame,not interested to visit again.You are like an underdeveloped city

Great app but…. Great app but last update removed filter by plug type which is a huge bummer for me. Now we have to use the slider which is no good for me. Liked it better the other way (if there is a reason for the change, would be nice to be able to pick which one we want. I need wall plugs and jt-1772 only… and don’t care/know about kw ratings…

Indispensable. PlugShare is our go-to when we travel in our Ev. Great maps, excellent collection of info.

Costa Rica.. My Trip does not load routes. Already need to know exact location names or Station Names to find stations since the route with station information is not accessible.

Can’t seem to see al the chargers. So I’m trying to see all the chargers but for whatever reason I’m only seeing the fast chargers. I’ve reset my filters and made sure they were all visible but it doesn’t change nothing !

Essential. Incredibly valuable resource. Owning an EV would be very frustrating without this ap.

Review. I used this once. I am deleting it.

Reliable. Good reference for EV plug info

You have to get this app. This app saved us from attempting Thunder Bay to Sault St Marie when we checked and found out the Petro Can charger at Wawa was down. Because we didn’t want to charge for hours (worst case days) we took the Kapuskasing route instead and it was beautiful in it’s own way. Thanks to all the plug share commenters !!!

Inadequate provision for input settings. There are a number of charging stations not shown and more importantly, the stations listed do not show the charging rate . How can an out of town person such as myself charge a vehicle at only 8 amps?

Hmmm too bad. We are new to EV so testing everything. This app does not show BC Hydro stations in BC, Canada. Or at least stations that I have tested for location. Gold River has a 2 station charger not shown.

Some stations don’t show up. Not sure why some stations don’t show up…I’m at a now but it doesn’t show up on the map

Great APP. Love to see all the neat EV specific things to make trip planning easier. I’d like to be able to link up google maps in CarPlay though when getting turn by turns. Having to preplan the route sometimes isn’t that practical when you’re on the road already and are on someone else’s timeline. Great start though, keep improving it! One day the nav part will probably supplant ways if you can keep it current and functional! Love the elevation and efficiency route planning. Can’t get those to show up with CarPlay though.

Main & 7th fast charger. Not working (again!!)

Ads; bad UI. Makes you pay for ad free

Great app. Very useful for our Leaf! :)

great location.. Quiet place, all stations available.

Fix your filters they don’t work.. Fix your filters. They don’t work

Great. Would be great if ChargePoint, Flo and Circuit Électrique could be added as network.

Would not pay for, not good for much.. Garbage app. Doesn’t show many of the charging stations unless you put it on min 0 KW which is just dumb. Tried to add a station that shows up on Apple Maps: South Railway Ave Cypress County AB Canada, as a PlugShare company EVlotion charging station, but on PlugShare it doesn’t show up. And when i try to add it, all that happens is: network error. Mostly Useless app except sometimes you can see what others have said. The app doesn’t say if the stations are derated. Hardly any 350KW chargers supplying anything even close to what they state, which the app says nothing. Could tell us if they’re derated or good fast charging rates.

Borne. Manque d’information sur les bornes petro Canada

Helpful !. This app helps me find charging stations better then anything else! Would definitely recommend.

Very good app except. Very good app but I wish it (add option) shows charging stations in the directions that I’m going, not stations that I already passed by miles ago.

Va bien mais. Impossible de faire des arrets sur un trajet Ordinaire

Deleted. Network errors preventing me from saving a trip. I downloaded this app to see how it would work as I am considering purchasing an EV. I would not use this app to plan a trip.

PlugShare Essential tool for long distance travel. I love this interactive tool that shows every charger, what type, how fast, and whether or not anyone is using it. But best of all the opportunity for users to leave feedback tells me if it is working or not. I’m also grateful it shows me the hotels that have level two’s for an overnight charge. Please check in so we all know if the charger is working.

Must have app for EV owners. Good network for the EV community to share when stations are down and what realistic charge rates people get. Must have app especially in canada where charging networks are still growing and more are needed. Well done PlugShare team!!

Excellent. Bonjour Très très facile d utilisation Merci

Configuration. Comment sélectionner niveau des bornes

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Spotty coverage of high capacity networks. I have loved PlugShare and two years ago would have rated it 5 stars. After COVID, now trying to get back on the road in New England, it appears to have lost any info on EvGo and Electrify America networks. These are critical high capacity network stations for traveling. A level 2 (or even a 24kW DC) charger is not going to get you back on the road in a reasonable timeframe. I have had to fall back on those specific apps just to even locate their charging stations. Please try to restore these key networks to your app database.

Plugshare and EVs. This application is invaluable if you have an electric vehicle and want to travel at all outside the radius of your car’s range. The app has allowed my wife and me to travel long distance in our Bolt. I have looked at other apps which are set up to do what Plugshare does, but Plugshare is much better! All you need is your EV and this app and you can travel!

Serious gaps in coverage. The app won’t “see” a charging station until I’m practically on top of it, like about 2-3 miles away. A list view that shows stations in a 5-10 mile radius would be really helpful, especially for those times you end up at an out of service charger and have to decide where to try next. That said, pics of the stations are invaluable since they can be hard to find.

I Love This App but…. I’ve found so much value in this app. But, as far as I can see, it’s filtering can only be set based on your vehicle. My car comes with a plug-in charger. From my experience, if you’re on the road, a hotel that says they’ve got plug-in support is not terribly reliable. The person at the desk is not likely to understand the needs of a EV driver. Most of the time I’m on the road for long hauls, it’s in Pennsylvania, where there are few 1772 chargers but where there seem to be a million wall chargers. It would be glorious if PlugShare would allow filtering out wall-chargers. A simple request guys. If this were fixed, it would be a five-star app and I would bow down to you and leave something in my will.

Great way to find information about nearby charging options. Very nice platform for discussing the specs and operational characteristics of nearby EV chargers and connectors. Often the staff administrating the equipment don’t know themselves, or are simply unavailable — this app plugs that gap. One issue is that the equipment is frequently changing — either in terms of policy or spec. There should be a way in the PlugShare app of marking others’ reported information as deprecated.

Peace of mind. This app gave me piece of mind when Tesla supercharger for the next stop wasn’t showing up on the map and then said it wasn’t available. I went to this app to find a backup and discovered that there were Tesla users using the supercharger that day and reported the station as open. We were relieved to find out that this report was true and it gave us piece of mind when we rolled up with 6 miles to go.

How can I check in on a DCFC’s performance if I can’t check in?. Wanted to check in at Strawberry Station General Store near Twin Bridges, CA (Highway 50 west of Echo Summit): Meda (left hand EVSE) started right up with RFID card, showing 36 kW. However, the app kept telling me either my email address was invalid, or there was a Network Error when I tried to reset password. The charger is working fine. But the main reason I use PS is to read recent check-ins to decide where and which charger to use.

Want to love it but I can’t. Simply used as a tool to find an EV charger of appropriate strength it’s great. It’s trip planner, wow how could this be such a weak tool on iOS? Why can’t I simply send the trip to google, apple or waze maps. And that It’s much easier to create trip on web site. Again ugh. Was really frustrated by the web trip planner - i couldn’t simply choose an alternate road than the one suggested. I would like to have one go to app rather than appreciate features done better in other apps.

HORRIBLE APP AFTER UPDATE. After the most recent update, this app is basically useless and not helpful at all. Before the update, I would be able to filter chargers by their adapters and locations. With the new update, it’s now like Apple Maps or something. I just NEED to know which chargers are where with specific adapters. I don’t care about nearby food, locations, or pit spots. Whenever I try to find a any kind of specific charger I need, “no location found”. This app used to be amazing but now it’s pretty much unusable and I have no need for an app like this.

PlugShare app is self congratulatory, inaccurate. This app falsely enhances the quality rating of charging station. It is not an accurate indicator of the reliability of EV fast charging stations. If an EV user has one or more failed attempts to initiate or complete charging, yet in the end they somehow charge successfully, the station still is given , via Plugshare, a perfect “10.0” score. It’s because Plugshare uses a forced choice of either: successfully charged….. or not. Successfully charged = 10 (even if it took a user multiple failed attempts before successfully charging) Failed to Charge = 0

New Electric Car Owner. I heard about the PlugShare app from a government website. PlugShare gives you a list of every charging station in California. I love it, though I wish it would be a little more updated when it comes to stations that so longer exists or the property owner decides not to fix the unit when people destroy it. Overall it’s a great app.

Desperately needs update to scoring system. Devs please add additional check in options or allow user scoring. A successful charge does not necessarily mean the site is operating as expected. I suggest adding “Charged with issues” as a check in option and score at a 5. Too many sites have a score of 10 due to successful charges but many site issues like frequent ICE-ing or derated chargers or broken stalls. The user may be able to charge but the score does not communicate the issues associated with the charge.

Wish more people used this app!. I love that it’s crowdsourced (I’ve added some myself); that you can message people through the app to find out when they’ll be off or to let them know you’re waiting. It’s user-friendly and links right to one’s choice of maps to find the place. And all the photos you can add and see!

Essential app for x-country EV travel. Having access to charger locations and details, with detailed reports from other users, gives me lots of confidence when planning and taking longer trips. And it’s nice to be able to share details with other travelers, so they will know of any issues, etc.

Must have for EV Charging. This is a must have app for all EV owners. I live in apartment with no charging option there so I mostly charge my car in Tesla Supercharger and Chargepoint but PlugShare has helped me find many other charging stations which are not on Tesla or Chargepoint network. The information and user reviews are extremely helpful. I wish somehow Chargepoint and Tesla could give real-time availability to Plugshare it would have been awesome.

Finding the free juice. I bought this Volt with gas over $5 a gallon and knowing that I would be doing some significant travel over the next year or two. 52 miles range is plenty locally but for trips it’s a blink of an eye so plugging in becomes an anomaly saving some carbon footprint here and there for long trips. Plug Share brings the deep dive into a new world of finding the free with the pay.

Many problems. Needed to charge (honestly didn’t even know they had a pay to charge option - I have a charge card with what must be every charge service besides them - blink, chargepoint, nrg, evgo, av, greenlots) but the charger I was at was only PlugShare. Couldn’t remember if I set up an account so did “forgot password.” I don’t think I had set up an account because I never got an email. Tried setting up a new account with the same email and that worked. Then when I went to charge the nomenclature of the two charge station options in the app did not match that of the charging stations in person. Very frustrating.

PlugShare rocks, Apple needs to add to CarPlay!. This app is awesome, reliable source of EV locations and ratings, including cost details and ability to filter by connector type, network, etc. A must have for any EV owner. However - Apple needs to get on it and get this app added to CarPlay!! To be able to keep a map open on nav screen and see nearby available chargers, etc would be even more useful!

And people like this?. I am looking to drive electric. I am weighing all of my options, including things like PlugShare for use in planning trips. I try to plug in data into the trip planner but it doesn’t accept it. For example, I may want to drive from Indianapolis to Louisville. I type in “Indianapolis, IN” and hit return, and the app just sits there. All it will accept is to choose My Current Location for my start and destination points. After it finishes planning my incorrect trip of exactly 0.0 miles, it pops up (repeatedly) a “Rate Me!” Ok... I rate you with 1 Star. Get back with me after you either fix the bug or explain the behavior.

Useful but not always sure it's up to date. This is a helpful tool, but I'm not sure I can count on it being up to date. It would be great if we all pitch in and give updates on the charging stations' statuses when we charge so everyone knows what kinds of plugs are available, if it costs money to park in the structure (aside from the possible cost of charging your vehicle, etc.). I'll try to do my part to keep the app information up to date.

Lacks vital information. I just got my first EV this week, so I wouldn’t know if this wasn’t the case back in the day. But almost every station on the map I’ve seen so far has free parking, so that’s not a very useful field. Would be much better to know the going rate at that charger like Charge Point shows. It’s also great to find chargers from a lot of different networks in one place, but when I tap on one, it should say which network it’s on. They clearly have that information, since you can filter by different networks in the settings, just a add a label for it.

Best app for finding chargers. I have tried a few other charging apps like ABRP but I like Plug Share the best. It is just easier to figure out and easy to send directions to the charger to waze or google maps. Then you can save your trip so you don’t have to figure it out again next time.

Mexico 2019 is same as USA 2014. Fiesta Inn is one of the few chains already ready to embrace the EV revolution in Mexico. They are early in the learning curve but eager not to make some of the early mistakes we had in US. Food and service are excellent. GM quick to respond when one of the chargers stopped working. Close enough to border to arrive to not be desperate for charge. I definitely plan on stopping by again, even if it is just to say hi and grab an amazing authentic Mexican meal :)

Indispensable. I use Plugshare every time I travel outside my home area, roughly twice per month. It is the only consistently reliable source for almost all charging options. No EV driver should be without Plugshare. It is only as good as the crowd sourced data so don't forget to update/enter new information. Update after about three years. PlugShare keeps getting better. Still Indispensable!

Only app that crashes my Xr. This app is trash. Extremely frustrating to use. Every time I open it it’s a Russian roulette on whether it’s going to freeze my phone for 5 minutes while I’m driving trying to find a nearby station. By the time my phone reboots I miss the exit. Whoever developed this app needs to rethink their career. Also the live data is 20% accurate majority of the time the station says it’s open, it’s not.

PlugShare is the best!. Most of the other “charging station finders” are not bloodhounds like PlugShare. Plus, you’ve told it what vehicle you have and so it’ll show you compatible stations and their capabilities. In addition it’ll let you know what’s around like restaurants, lodging, etc. PlugShare salvaged my trip by finding stations others couldn’t find in out of the way places. Happy Trails!

Linda. Great app! Concise info on type of plug and where to find it. Photos and explanations by users of exactly where in the parking garage the plug can be found, so you're not driving around in circles looking for it. Use the app for advance planning or when you end up somewhere unexpected and want to see if a charging station is in range. Made what initially seemed like a daunting task, finding stations, really easy and stress-free.

Works great to fill in supercharger gaps when towing a trailer. This is my go to Tesla Model X app. I use it to find alternatives to Supercharging when towing a trailer with the X. And on road trips up to Seattle. I use it to check on local chargers and pay. For the AV network, Blink network, and Chargepoint I pay through those systems. I’m testing out the non Tesla charging infastruture and deciding who’s good and who’s a pain in the a**. PlugShare enables this activity. . Works great for finding chargers and checking in.

Needs some improvements.. 1. The app is useless when there is no internet. Needs to have offline mode. 2. Instead of showing "you have checked in here", only show places where "you have successfully checked in here". I went to a place where I failed to charge because the app showed I checked in there and I assumed it meant successfully. 3. Show number of working plugs on the map.

Moderation of comments should NOT block comments posting !. PlugShare app is becoming less and less useful per the day. Posted comments are now moderated and no more published when they were just created ... so you can say goodbye to some of them and having the more up to date feedback. Also there is still no way to enter the time of your check-in ... it is taking the time stamp of the post which is not correct as you may be willing to post your feedback hours after your charging...

Ioniq EV owner. I’ve been the happy owner of an EV for over 2 years, and PlugShare has been awesome. My car tells me where stations are, but PlugShare provides pictures, maps and most importantly, reviews of the stations. That way I know not to waste my time going to a station that’s almost never available. This app is a must for EV and plug-in hybrid owners.

Still the best app to find chargers-now with ads!. This is by far the best app for charging on the road. Find chargers by type and speed, look at reviews by real users and see photos of the area. Indispensable!! I hope that now that they sell ad space within the app people still contribute reviews, we shall see.

Best yet hope it improves!. I've found this app to be better than any other app out there - including Nissan's own app. I don't understand why some locations don't show up when u do a search even though they meet all criteria. Yet, when you zoom in on the area, they r there! I'm imagining there are locations that I don't know about that should be appearing!!

Could be better on iOS. The app is great and the thing that i love is the really active community, On the world and in Costa Rica! But in iOS version you cannot open the route on Waze or google maps or i haven’t find out maybe? Also that the app doesn’t have GBT charger to add it to the charger point, because here in Costa Rica, ICE’s (Electricity conpany) fast charging points have CHAdeMO, CSS/SAE and GBT, Of course GBT is included in the description of the charging point, Thanks for reading

It isn’t as accurate as it used to be, no longer 5 star. PlugShare has a nice trip planner and I used to use PlugSare regularly. But largely I have found that it is not up to date. Several newer Superchargers are not on the map. The trip planner will send you hundreds of miles off course because it is not utilizing Superchargers on a shorter route.

Thank Goodness!!!. Being the first person in my family and all of my social groups to get a fully elective vehicle, this app has been a life saver!! I have been able to do my research and find the best places for me to charge quickly and conveniently— and lost often for free 🙌🏼 ..would definitely love to have a level two charger at home one day, but for now, this app has been a life saver 💗🙏🏼👍🏼

Trip planning is useless. I appreciate the list of charing stations, however accurate and up to date but probably the most comprehensive available. However, your trip planning feature is pathetically USELESS. Adding stops and reorganizing them along the route is either extremely difficult or downright impossible. Also seeing how charging along the way changes your SOC is not even programmed. Back to the drawing board!!

Stellar app. Updated...still the best app out there for EV drivers, by a long way. Thank you, PlugShare, for supporting EVs! This is a must-have app for EV owners. It shows every charging station around *and* includes helpful ratings so you know whether or not you can trust a place will work when you get there. Mine hasn't crashed even once, so I'm not sure why some others seem to have issues. I have a 5S.

Improvements needed. On first blush the app very quickly routes to your destination based on the driving range estimated. I believe a great improvement would be to estimate the travel time and potential cost of each route indicated. I realize that there are many variables, but each station has a charging level, a charging price schedule, and your vehicle’s kwhr need. It would seem that a range of cost and time could be estimated: well “caveated”, of course! Good job

Very good and getting better. Provides the most up-to-date info about charging station status and locations of any app I’ve tried. It’s even better at providing info about Electrify America than the EA app! Only wish more people would use it and provide notes on their experiences- which would make it even better.

I just love this App. I use PlugShare all the time to plan my route!! The Tesla system works great too and that is what I mostly use, but I also end up using PlugShare a lot too. I go on long road trips and I have never had a problem with charging. There is always a charging station available on PlugShare and it charges my car relatively quickly.

More Charging stations. I wish there was more charging station I wish when you plug in it automatically should see in the app that the time you arrive and how much time you’ve been charging The reason is because most people do not check in specially the Chevrolet bolts They never check in so when you arrive you don’t know how long they been charging

A wealth of information.. It's already a good app, help make it better with every charger check-in and review you leave. Charge stations are often not maintained, this gives you the know-before-you-go you need so you don't show up to a charger with less than 10 miles left of range only to find the charger broken, disabled or already in use.

Good visibility-wish we could filter. Great app to find all charge stations from all brands in your area. really helped us track down where we could go to charge. Wish it would provide the availability of the stations and a filter. Filtering by fast chargers or charge type and available stations would really be useful. We had to then log onto Brand website to check availability.

THANKS PLUG SHARE!!. I just came to Annapolis on my EBIKE, from about 30miles away. I had one dot of juice left. I figured “I’ll find a spot when I get there!” Easier said than done! Well 10 seconds after firing up the app, I found this parking garage with 10 receptacles specifically for electric vehicle charging(120v receptacles) . And additional charging for other cars on upper levels. So nice, I can cruise back home and can make this trip again without any worry!

Missing stations. This has been my go to app for an overview of all stations across different charging networks for years. But a few months ago someone mentioned a station that didn’t show up on my iPhone version. Found out I must have unchecked the Requires Fee filter option. Unfortunately that seemed to me to mean when on only pay stations would be shown instead of pay and free. Perhaps that option could be worded differently?

Indispensable for Mini SE. While the BMW/MINI iPhone and onboard apps are very helpful, I depend on finding and timing charging on longer journeys with the PlugShare trip planner. Easy to use across various platforms, the developers have done a knock-out job in what used to be a hair-pulling task: figuring out how far your EV can go, where you can charge with which cable plug types, how fast you can do it, how much 💰 you will spend and when you can expect to arrive at your final destination. A few clicks and the trip is mapped out. Now planning many trips I never thought I could take with my 144 mile range eVehicle. PlugShare has changed the world for me.

Best EV charging app BY FAR!. Easiest EV charging app, and across the board the most reliable network. Putting the ChargePoint card on my Apple wallet makes charging super quick and easy compared to all of the other apps. Also as a network there are fewer broken stations than other networks, they either do a better job maintaining, better quality product to begin with, or both.

Don’t leave home without it!. Just got my new EV and without this excellent app, there is no way you can travel on a long trip. Every charging station is clearly shown, adding to your trip by your vehicles range, and then sending it to your maps app IS WHY you must have this app on your phone.

Must have app for Ev owners. Easy-to-use app to find the nearest EV charging station and even pay for a charge (when necessary). You can even use Apple Pay right inside the app. Includes a great interface with appropriate kudos to those who are logging charging stations. See how well maintained and current status of the stations and let others know your getting charged.
