Detailed Review

PlugShare - EV & Tesla Map establishes itself as the preeminent platform for electric vehicle charging infrastructure navigation. Developed by PlugShare LLC, this Android application aggregates the world's largest database of charging stations, serving as both a navigation tool and community-driven review platform for EV drivers globally. The application's core functionality centers on its interactive map interface that displays charging stations from all major providers, including Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America, ChargePoint, and numerous regional networks. Users can filter stations by multiple criteria including plug type (CHAdeMO, CCS, J1772, Tesla), charging speed (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast), network operator, and accessibility requirements. Each station listing provides detailed information including real-time availability status, pricing, connector types, and user-generated photos. The interface employs a clean, map-centric design that prioritizes location discovery while maintaining comprehensive station details. Real-world usage patterns show drivers primarily utilizing the app for trip planning, emergency charging location identification, and station reliability assessment through crowd-sourced reviews. User feedback trends indicate strong satisfaction with the app's comprehensiveness, though some functionality limitations are noted. Anthony Mark's June 15, 2025 review praises the app as 'the only app you need in Australia' for its complete charging information, while Roma Khudoleyev's July 25, 2025 review requests enhanced filtering options to reduce map clutter from irrelevant stations. The platform demonstrates particular strength for long-distance travel planning, as noted in Paul Blue's July 22, 2025 review highlighting its utility for cross-country U.S. road trips. While the app excels in station discovery and community-driven content, some users note limitations in route planning functionality and desire more advanced filtering capabilities. The application serves as an essential tool for both daily commuters and long-distance travelers seeking reliable charging infrastructure across diverse geographical regions.

The only app you need in Australia. Shows all chargers no matter what company, number of chargers, types of chargers, charging speeds cost per kw and how many available. Only wish the route planner would work on a mobile phone but hopefully that will come later. Otherwise excellent app.

My go to app for finding chargers. Will sometimes even provide directions when your connection is good.

Process was easy and worked well with my Tesla Y. Needed my css1 adapter, which is convenient to have as a backup when Super Chargers are not available which is the case for Pierre SD. I was able to charge from 33 to 93% in about 50 minutes.

New to the EV ways of doing things. This app and the real-time updates are extremely helpful! Grateful for the creators of this app but also for every member and user of this app, as every review & update (good & bad) helps EVERYONE out. And hopefully also promotes speedy repair of charging stations that are out of service.
