“PlugShare continues to be the largest consumer tech platform
for EV drivers. The user growth and engagement experienced by the
PlugShare app reflects both the momentum behind EV adoption as well
as the invaluable real-time EV charging data, driver reviews,
features and tools that PlugShare offers to enable a seamless EV
charging experience,” said Tanvi Chaturvedi, CRO of EVgo. “At EVgo,
we know that as new EV drivers continue to hit the road, a
consistent and convenient charging experience is critical. The
drivers who utilize the PlugShare platform not only help create a
strong EV community both here in the U.S. and around the world, but
the information they provide also complements our efforts to
monitor our network to ensure we’re delivering a best-in-class
customer experience.”
Globally, EVs are seeing exponential growth—in 2022, EVs
accounted for 14% of all new cars sold, up from roughly 9% in 2021
and less than 5% in 2020, according to the International Energy
Agency. The market growth is matched by the continuing expansion of
the PlugShare community. As the world’s largest community of EV
drivers, the PlugShare app is available in nearly 30 different
languages. By sharing their charging experiences through check-ins
on the platform, users help fellow EV drivers stay informed and can
offer real-time updates about charging stations around the
world.
With millions of crowd-sourced check-ins and over 775,000 photos
uploaded by drivers, PlugShare enables users to review their
personal charging experiences, access trip planning resources, and
learn what to expect at different charging locations. Using a
rating system known as a PlugScore®, PlugShare combines user
reviews to produce a score that reflects recent charging
experiences that drivers have had at a particular station.
PlugShare is available on the web and for download on iOS, Apple
Watch and Android. Users that are registered with PlugShare can
also take advantage of Pay with PlugShare to unlock the ability to
pay for and activate sessions on public charging stations directly
from within the app. PlugShare enables users to filter results by
their preferred network, charging speed or connector type (CCS,
CHAdeMO, J-1772, Tesla), and easily locate and navigate to
chargers.
