New Chargers Added 24 hours to Sunday, March 31st, 2013 + News Bits

Plugshare now lists (My Addition) a total of 16,278 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. They List 16,336 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.

Over the last 24 hours - there have been 10 New Public Chargers added to the PlugShare network, and 3 Restricted Chargers, plus 58 New Photos, and 8 New home stations being shared. BC Lead the way on the most new listings with 3!

The additions tracked are: 

• New Public Chargers Added = 10
• New Restricted Stations added = 3
