26 New Chargers Added 24 hours to Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013


Plugshare lists a total of 16,414 Stations
They use dynamic tracking to add new - and remove redundant, or test stations, but for those that are dropped, or removed, it is done manually, so simply adding in the new additions - does not equal the total numbers, and sometimes - new additions are listed - but need to have their duplicate entries purged. My count is 16,334 Stations. I have not listed all duplicate stations and they may not have purged them yet. I may have counted 1 as a count for one listing - but it might represent multiple chargers, hence some of the differences.


Over the last 24 hours - there have been 9 New Public Chargers added to the PlugShare network, plus 24 New Photos, and 3 New home stations being shared. 

The additions tracked are: 

  • New Public Chargers Added = 23
  • New Restricted Stations added = 0
  • New Photos Added = 28
  • New Home Stations Shared = 3

84  People Checked into Public EV Chargers today. Few Chargers added, Few public uses - but a bit more today than yesterday!

Green Fleet Roundup: EV Chargers from ABB and Fuji, US Hybrid Market, Apps for VehiclesABB has launched its Terra SmartConnect 20kW DC fast charger with delivery in North and South America in the second quarter. Initial shipments will support the CHAdeMO fast-charging standard, with SAE / Combined Charging System units available later this year. The charger is designed for commercial and office areas. It will fully replenish an electric car in 120 minutes, and take the battery of currently available EVs from 30 percent to 80 percent in less than half an hour, the company said.

Fuji Electric Corp. of America announced the beginning of production of its UL-Certified DC Quick Chargers for Electric Vehicles, with March seeing the first production units shipping out of Milpitas, Calif.

Mitsubishi recently announced that global sales of its i-MiEV surpassed 33,000 units, which puts the tiny electric squarely in second place, but still...(More)
