PlugShare App: Locate EV Charging Stations
SolarChargedDriving.com
One issue with owning an electric car is the concern about running low on electricity.
So, until gas stations are out-numbered by EV charging stations, PlugShare is coming to the rescue.
PlugShare is an app for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that allows people to locate charging stations.
However, PlugShare’s not like other EV charge station locators.
Just like other online communities, when you start an account with PlugShare, you create a profile about yourself.
Here’s where PlugShare sets itself apart — on your profile, you letpeople know if you have an EV outlet at your home, and how much energyit provides. If you opt to share your outlet with other EV drivers, then your shared outlet will appear on the map.
