New Chargers Added 24 hours to Tuesday, Mar. 26th, 2013

Plugshare now lists a total of 16,128 Stations

They use dynamic tracking to both add new - and remove redundant, or test stations that are dropped, so simply adding in the new additions - does not equal the total numbers, and sometimes - new additions are listed - but need to have duplicate entries purged. They List 16,144 Stations.

Over the last 24 hours - there have been 9 New Public Chargers added to the PlugShare network, 2 Restricted Stations, plus 43 New Photos, and 5 New home stations being shared.
