The additions tracked are: 

• New Public Chargers Added = 8

119  People Checked into Public EV Chargers today, which means that while it was double or triple the last few days, most people are still charging up at home, and 119 needed a little extra or did not have a home charger! Or they were checking out charging stations before they needed them - to get a feel for the locations! Maybe - with warmer weather - and new EV Buyers - comes more public charging, too! 

It was a Sunday, and while it was pretty quiet on growth of listing new public chargers, it was quite active on Electric Vehicle Owners getting out and using the public EV Charging Infrastructure! As also witnessed by the larger number of photos added today! Also - a larger number of personal Charger points were shared today. 

Have you shared a charge Point of your own yet on PlugShare? Personal Station - just select 'Share My Station' from the main menu. Public Stations - Select 'Add Public Station'. Remember - to complete the correct Address, Street Number, Name, and City/State. Also - add a phone number, too!

I had some issues with my phone today - and the app seemed to lock up, so I borrowed my Wife's iPhone to gather the data today, using the iPhone Plugshare App, instead of the Android App! While both apps get the data - they present it in a little different format each!
