No longer can you go to the petrol station around the corner or just off your exit on the highway. At first, you\u2019ll have to be slightly more strategic about refueling, but with the help of apps that direct you to EV charging stations near you, you\u2019ll find that adjusting is easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_popular_app_for_finding_charging_stations_PlugShare\"><\/span><b>Most popular app for finding charging stations: PlugShare<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PlugShare is one of the most well-known apps for finding EV charging stations around the world because it\u2019s incredibly comprehensive. You can filter the map by plug type, including Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers. But the best part is the community of EV users that updates different charging stations with detailed reviews, location descriptions, photos, and even nearby amenities like WiFi or public restrooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Download: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PlugShare for <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.xatori.Plugshare\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Android<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> | <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/plugshare\/id421788217\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iOS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_oldie_but_a_goodie_Google_Maps\"><\/span><b>An oldie, but a goodie: Google Maps<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of writing this article, Google Maps doesn\u2019t have all of the accouterments of some of the top EV charge point apps. Users don\u2019t often post photos of the location, in-depth reviews, or charge point availability, but Google Maps is still an excellent resource when you\u2019re on the go. Especially if you have a car like the <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polestar.com\/nl\/firstcarwithgooglebuiltin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polestar 2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is integrated with Google\u2019s apps and services that link customers to their Google accounts and Maps \u2014 in fact,\u00a0<span>all EV charging stations are integrated through Google Maps, which is built-in to in every Polestar 2, meaning you\u2019ll never have to frantically search for a charging station again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some countries, Google Maps pulls data from other EV charging station apps, and knowing Google it won\u2019t be long until its Maps offer as much information on each charging station as you need, so it\u2019s a good move to purchase an EV like the Polestar 2 that has it all built-in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Download: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Maps for <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Android<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> | <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-maps-transit-food\/id585027354\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iOS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_innovative_charging_app_EVmatch\"><\/span><b>Most innovative charging app: EVmatch<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EVmatch also helps you find hundreds of EV charge points around the world, but its business model is slightly different. EVmatch offers users a peer-to-peer network, wherein you can find, reserve in advance, and pay for private electric car charging stations easily through the app. This means that in addition to public charging stations, you might be able to pay your neighbor or local business owner to use her private charge point, as well!

The app automatically records your driving and compares your annual fuel costs, ownership costs, carbon emissions, fuel consumption, EV range, and charging needs against the cars that you\u2019re interested in. So if your commute includes lots of start and stop traffic, the app records that.
