PlugShare finally adds dark mode, and there’s more for EV drivers

PlugShare is giving its EV charging app a big overhaul. Version 8.0 arrives worldwide for iPhone on November 10, with dark mode, a trip planner that shows how far apart charging stops are, and a rebuilt Apple Watch app that can point you to a charger compatible with your EV.

Dark mode was one of the most-requested features from PlugShare users. It works across the app and follows your iPhone’s settings, so if your phone switches to dark mode at sunset, your charging map will, too.

The trip planner gets a small but handy change. Each charging stop now shows how far it is from both the start of your trip and the previous stop. So when you’re deciding whether to stretch to the next fast charger or stop sooner, the number you need is right there.

PlugShare now loads your saved locations, trips, and profile when you open the app or sign in, so those tabs are ready to tap. You can also open and zoom in on station photos right from their thumbnails. That’s handy when you’re trying to figure out what corner a charging station is in in a big parking lot. The app also adapts its layout to the iPhone Duo’s different screens and folded positions.

The rebuilt Watch app lists nearby charging stations with distances and directions. It uses the filters you’ve set on your iPhone, so if you’ve filtered for plugs that fit your EV, that carries over to your wrist.

Tap a station and you’ll see its PlugScore, the network that runs it, a small map, and which plugs it has, including NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO, or J1772.
