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.

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 note some locations do not have the ability to be edited as these may be locations where the CPO directly feed us information about the station. Due to this, they have requested that no information be tampered with, which we have agreed to hold, thus the location being "locked" from editing. This usually occurs from major charge point operators. However, there may be times where the information is not up to date and a user wants to add this, but will still be locked as we will receive the data from them. We do thank you for your interest in wanting to keep PlugShare locations up to date and still have many where users can do this, but for some, this will not be possible. We thank you for your understanding and hope you continue enjoy using PlugShare!

trip planner needs work
10/30/2023

used this for a trip from LA to san fran. i'd say the best way to use plugshare is to open google maps first and figure out in which city you want to make a stop, then go in plugshare and search that city. the trip planner is a good idea but needs work. you can't select multiple stops with the trip planner, and after you input your destination, a hundred chargers populate the map, covering all the names of cities and making it too difficult to figure out where to stop. what it should do is plan the stops for you, based on the distance your car can achieve, charger compatibility with your vehicle, max kw, hours of travel, and likelihood of open chargers upon arrival. but overall, i'm glad i stumbled across this. saw someone mention it on a forum.

That's amazing to know that Trip Planner helped you with your route up the coast from LA to SF. Word of mouth is a good way for the platform to expand and happy to know it served your needs. Thank you so much for the 5 star review and happy charging!

This is frustrating!!!

I live in the city of Houston and my apartment won’t let me plug into the wall outlet in my apartment, so I have to drive around the city of Houston when I’m traveling trying to find somewhere to plug my car in and it seems that every day charging stations are either broken, removed, or un accessible. I feel that you all in your pinpoint should reflect whether or or not that particular charging station is actually available to the public i.e. whether or not it’s in a residential apartment complex and it’s available to the public or at a hotel that has a gate or is someone’s business that is not accessible. I feel that your pinpoint should reflect so and it should be clearly stated so that a person running out of charge doesn’t drive around to all these different stations that are accessible. Otherwise it is a great app and very useful for planning trips and knowing where you can find charging stations along the way thank you very much.

- Improved the look of other drivers' profile screen - Added the ability to categorize location issue reports - Fixed an issue that could have caused duplicate or missing bookmarks when fetching successive pages of results while driving - Fixed an issue that could have presented a Network Error when loading some location detail screens - Various other under-the-hood improvements
