PlugShare Filters

PlugShare app is a key app as it shows locations of most EV charging networks, non networked chargers and home chargers, reviews on their status, an alert system to notify you of reviews, a trip planning function, ability to filter for charger speed, filter for AC or DC, filter for chargers at accommodation venues, ability to see chargers restricted to guests and to see chargers comming soon. Download PlugShare from Apple or Google Play. PlugShare is owned by EVGo Inc.

Best PlugShare Filter Settings

Here are how I have the filters set when I use PlugShare, both when travelling and when around home, so I see all charger locations.

Accommodation Filtering

PlugShare shows you where the EV chargers are located in each town. If you prefer to charge at your accommodation, you can filter PlugShare to show accommodation with EV chargers on site. To see all accommodation with EV chargers, if you are using the default filter settings in the app, make sure you adjust your filters to turn “Hide Restricted Access” off and “Lodging” on as shown in the right side of the image below

Available Now filter

Note, I find it is important not to have the “Available Now” filter on in PlugShare, as that filter doesn’t work in Australia. If that is on, the display loses many available chargers. For example, the chargers of AGL, Casacharge, Charge N Go, ChargePost, Elanga, Everty, EVX, I-Charge, Jolt, Noodoe, Origin 360, OTR EV, SolarHub Charge, Tesla, Wattshare, Wevolt etc are removed from view by the “Available Now” filter, even when they are shown as available in their own apps.

Zoom function removing and showing pins

PlugShare removes pins as you zoom out, if you zoom right into an address, you’ll see many more chargers. In some cases, if there are separate pins for AC and DC close to each other, you may need to zoom right in, to see both.
