HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1352 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription33%

74 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ And if you do find charging stations on the map near you, you can't tap them or view any info.
★★★★★ I've spent 5% of my battery just getting to all of these random places to charge.
★★★★★ That claim to be comprehensive do not perform well at compiling free no app charging.
Wrong or poor results14%

31 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Absolutely terrible app when you actually need a charger. It repeatedly directs you to charging stations that are unusable or, even worse, don't exist at all. When your battery is critically low, bad information like…
★★★★★ It's useless, missing about 75% of EV stations that are actually on the map, doesn't include important details for example if a charging station is accessible or not.
★★★★★ Useless app; shouldn't even NEED an app; login tries to tie to my AppleID and GoogleAcct; shows non charger locations even when not filtering for them
Login and account problems13%

28 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Actually caused me to not open an account.
★★★★★ Had to make an account to use it.
★★★★★ I shouldn't need to create an account to plan a trip; I know it's just to gather data to sell so that I can receive an ever increasing amount of spam and scams
Bugs, things not working12%

26 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Once I set all the filters, I get no results not in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale nor Miami or Homestead
★★★★★ Concept of this app is great. But setting my profile app is not easy.
★★★★★ Fails to find Tesla chargers despite my filter parameters requesting Tesla.
Too many ads3%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I contacted them and they said they do have ads on various websites, and they said I had an open account with the book club that was created at the time of the cc charge.
★★★★★ May do what it promises, but spams you without the option to turn ad notifications off. Failed to retrieve stations around me too.
★★★★★ You are either forced to view ads that are irrelevant to you taking up valuable screen real estate or forced to pay their extortion fee in order to eliminate the noise.
Lost data, sync, backup3%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Some weekend I may spend 30 minutes to figure out how to set up this app and use ChargePoint, as an emergency backup.
★★★★★ So every charge I have gone to either it was the wrong plug or the place closed.
★★★★★ Many of the high scoring locations havent been updated in years, and when you get there, they gone, valdalized, out of service, or heavily utilized.
Slow, laggy, battery3%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've spent 5% of my battery just getting to all of these random places to charge.
★★★★★ They're inside of dealerships where there a Tesla supercharger that doesn't accept the non-Tesla chargers there's nothing organized in this ev charging Network, you put in the filter you want slow, chargers or fast…
★★★★★ When your battery is critically low, bad information like this is unacceptable.
Worse after an update3%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Add value when you update things.
★★★★★ Take me to update the locations a lot more often on this app because it's giving me directions to where there is no longer chargers.
★★★★★ It is not being updated with many of the new charges being added across the USA.

Not quick, easy or clear

I drive a Chevy Bolt EUV. Tried to use this app and a ChargePoint site for first time. I had seven minutes to pull in, download app and get plugged in before my appointment. I could not tell on the app if I was in the right place. There was insufficient labeling on the two charger plugs to determine if I was at one of the plug options being presented to me, although the photo of the plugs in the app looked like my location. Had to randomly try a few, ran out of time. By comparison, signing up for EnergyPass was much easier, faster and intuitive. So I only tried to use ChargePoint because there was no ElectrifyAmerica or Tesla superchargers nearby. Some weekend I may spend 30 minutes to figure out how to set up this app and use ChargePoint, as an emergency backup. But definitely will not be my first choice.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
Stupidity to Require Account

Just to see basic info, like reviews and pictures. Actually caused me to not open an account. Disrespect me, won’t get my business. Simple.

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026
Great Way to Start

If you find yourself with an electric car you’re going to need this kind of help!

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026
Need additional charging stations.

I’ve tried charging my car several different times during the day and there is always a wait time to get a charger. I love the concept but concerned about having enough time.

★★★★★Oct 7, 2026
Suck

Had to make an account to use it. Then it loads for ever and never let me charger and I’m not going try a second time because it’s one of the one that chargers you $50 in advance so I wasn’t going make it charger my card twice for it to just not charger.

What's new in 7.38.0

A short stop this time: a few fixes and a little polish, then back on the road. • Stations are back on the CarPlay map: If you started PlugShare from CarPlay without opening it on your phone first, the map would load but come up empty, with no charging stations on it. They're showing up again. • Precision pin placement: Marking a new location? You can now zoom all the way in to drop your pin on the exact stall, instead of somewhere in the parking lot. • Cleaner text throughout: We fixed some spacing that made text look cramped in places around the app. Thanks for helping keep the world's EV map accurate and up to date. Happy charging!

Released Mar 7, 2011. Current version shipped Aug 31, 2026.
