As you are out and about on the roads of Seattle and Bothell, you will likely encounter more and more electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. This is because savvy drivers are discovering the benefits of going electric, such as the ease of maintaining an EV and the lower carbon footprint. However, some drivers are hesitant to make the switch because of concerns about charging, especially on the go. Fortunately, there are a number of charging apps out there that can make the process stress-free.
We are often asked, “What electric car charging app should I use?” We’re happy to share the best EV charging apps in our guide below.
Have you been wondering, “Which electric car charging app should I use?” With so many options, it can be hard to choose. Here’s what you can expect from some of the most popular EV charging apps.
The ChargePoint network has over 31,900 charging stations nationwide. A perk of using this app is that you can locate charging stations from other providers that are not part of the ChargePoint network. Keep tabs on your charging status, or use your account to help you charge at FLO, EVgo, and other stations.
Choose the Electrify America app if you have a focus on finding Level 3 DC fast chargers. The rapidly expanding network will also include luxury charging stations shortly. The Electrify America app will notify you when chargers are available for use as well as allow you to track charging progress.
*Tesla Owners: A special adapter is required to use an Electrify America charging station.
PlugShare is a fan favorite because users have access to hundreds of thousands of EV charging stations over multiple networks such as ChargePoint, Electrify America, FLO, EVgo, EV Connect, Volta, and more. Access real-time information about charger availability, and filter your options by charging type.
Another one of the most popular EV charging apps is EVgo. Mill Creek drivers love this option because it is possible to reserve a charging station in advance. Monitor your session and see other real-time charging details. Earn rewards for your activity too!
Choose the Volta app for access to the largest network of free EV chargers in America. Receive charger availability updates as you travel. Most Volta charging stations allow you to charge your vehicle for free for up to two hours. If you would like to charge your vehicle for longer than two hours, you can pay for extra charging. Most Volta stations are available for use from 6:00 a.m. to midnight but available charging time will vary by location.
