Just joined SprakEV!
Have also tried a few. To me it has come down to
PlugShare - Best
- great app on mobile & website.
- free !!
- good customer services, can report broken chargers or innaccurate info
- user friendly, community feel, see who's charging in your local area, txt other EVs and swap info.
- easy to add pics and updates on lical sites you visit
- ability to add your own charger for users to contact you if need emergency charge!
- although UK coverage needs to improve, the fact that it is easy for users to add new sites and data makes me think it has incredible potential. It can improve rapidly in a Wikipedia style based on input partly from users.
ZapMap - necessary but clunky!
Interface on phone is less user friendly and intuitive.
BUT has best UK coverage. It costs £5 for app which is very annoying. But for now I would still buy it as it has few extra chargers. I am however doing my utmost to add Chargers across from ZapMap into PlugShare when I have time as I think PlugShare is best overall for EV users going forward.
So any of you Fellow Plug-sharers , get adding! (There is an amusing leaderboard to show in your part of UK who has added the most chargers)
All best. Avoid the ICE'd on the road
Colin.
