Today's App is what you need if you are thinking about buying an EV or you already own one.
PlugShare is a free app with a lot of features you'll love. Premiere among those is the ability to locate EV charging stations in advance.
Sure, you'll be doing most of the charging in your garage at home, but there will be occasions when you need to recharge when away from home.
The trip planner function will help you find the charging stations located along the route to and from your workplace. It's critical if you're planning a trip by car.
PlugShare Features
- Charging station map—Shown by location, plug type, charging speed, and amenities
- Trip planner—Mentioned above, this also has links to navigation apps
- Sense of Community—Connect with other EV owners and leave reviews to rate locations
- Notifications—Receive an alert when new chargers are installed in nearby locations
The app is available for iOS, Android, and online, and it's free of course. Just signup for an account and list your vehicle. At some charging station, you can pay using the PlugShare app.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Free apps are good, but they're great when they offer a service that's needed. Happy trails, EV drivers.
