Tesla Charging + Nearby POIs

The infrastructure of charging stations in the U.S. is insane. You need dozens of apps to deal with all the manufacturers of public stations out there, made even worse for us non-Tesla owners. Plugshare is most popular, but I’ve had many false hits saying a charger was down when it wasn’t or vice versa, and the UI leaves much to be desired. This app brings me much needed sanity by aggregating the different public charger networks together in one very well done user interface. It’s a subscription app, but they seem dedicated to keeping it up to date with the latest EVs and charger networks, and the data on charger availability so far has been good. Worth the subscription price.

The App didn’t work for me while trying to use it with the Electrify America chargers. The basic function of “charging” was not easily available. I desperation to make the connection with the car work, I accepted the trial and was charged for a full year ($60). Their contact page only has a contact form, no customer service number, no chat. I hope their new version has an upgrade and that they improve their customer service.

Just bought an EV and got a bunch of apps to try out for finding chargers. This is the only one that lures you into a yearly subscription for 59 bucks. What for? No idea. Plenty of apps out there to give you info on public chargers for free. Just glad I managed to cancel right at the last day of my one week trial.

I’ve had 3 electric cars in the last 12 years, so I’ve had to download many apps for many charging stations. Some are dead simple to use, some are broken, some are complicated and you have to actually call someone on the phone to setup an account. This one seemed to only show your location and how to map to other charging station. The charging station had a QR code that only sent the numbers for the stationID to my phone. The app had no place for entering an ID and no means of scanning that QR code. So, I was unable to charge my car. And just to top off an annoying experience, I was forced to get an annual subscription with a free trial in order to open the app. I know people don’t read these before being forced to download them while frantically trying to charge their car so they can move on with their day, so this feels pointless, but I definitely will not use a station that requires this app again. I’m glad we have more options now.

I went out of state for a business trip. I made the mistake of renting an electric car, and downloading this app. I somehow, unintentionally signed up for a years membership and didn’t even USE this app. Customer service is a nightmare to get ahold of due to there being no customer service number. And now I’m out $59 for something I’ll NEVER use.

Unfortunately this app is a waste of time. It’s misleading as the EV locations that are actually available don’t even show up in the app. So it falls short. Needs work!

This app moved itself to the top of the search list when I was looking for something different. In my haste to move along I accepted it and promptly got charged $60. All it does is map you to chargers, something that is free in many other places.

Don’t get confused - this app does not pay for Any of your EV charging. For some reason I thought it did. Silly me! Also it doesn’t list my particular Ford Fusion Plugin Hybrid and from the sounds of some other users, it doesn’t list their hybrids either. By the time I realized this, it was too late - I had already paid $39 for a year which was non-refundable. Live n learn!

My wife installed this and subscribed, thinking she was paying for charging the car. The app has no connection to any chargers out there. An honest app would not send mixed signals that confuse non technical folk.

I used to be able to see charging station reviews of other users and that seems to have disappeared. Doesn’t seem to be a way to post reviews either.
