EV Charging Apps and Websites

When it comes to finding and using charging stations we've put together a short list of the apps and websites we use and recommend. These three are designed to show where charging stations are located and/or help EV owners plan road trips:
  1. Chargeway - Not all EV charging stations are created equal. Some charge fast. Some charge slowly. Some fit many cars. Some only fit a few. So, Chargeway created a simple color and number system to navigate the electric fuel landscape—guiding you and your EV to the right stations nearby. By far, this is one of the best charging apps available and you should absolutely use it regularly.
  2. Plugshare - Plugshare claims to have "the most accurate and complete public EV charging map worldwide." Features we like include the ability to check in at chargers, rate the experience, and communicate with other users about the overall experience (good or bad). We've found this helpful when a charger isn't working, we can find out if other users have had trouble with it as well, or even plan a trip knowing ahead of time which chargers are usually in good working order.
  3. A Better Route Planner - ABRP is a widely used and respected service that helps owners plan trips. Available as an app or website.

The next few are published by charging networks and make using the chargers on these networks much easier (with an account, and sometimes required):
  1. ChargePoint
  2. EVgo
  3. Electrify America
