I think I'm going to look that app up and see if I can add myself as a
"friendly stranger" even though I don't own an iPhone ...
fantastic idea

Ah, actually PlugShare doesn't do this:

> where these Good Samaritans are located and what kind of outlet they =

> have available =97 a regular 120-volt socket or a quicker 240.

It lets you specify if you have a 120v socket or a J1772 and that is it! It=
should also let you specify if there is a 240v outlet so people with home-=
built EVs can know what kind of socket adapter to bring.

I also ran into that same, not-compatible-with-app wall.
This app is a really an EV-Charging/Social-Network. While
intentions are noble, is more like a release beta version 0.8
that a completed app written by EV drivers for EV drivers.

I'd just finished sending a email to info @ xatori.com
the company that created Plugshare with my comments & feedback
when I saw two evdl member's comments about the same thing:

Part of the difficulty with the app is that you HAVE to have an iOS
device to register your plug. Hopefully there will be a web site and
android version soon...

Until then, find a friend with an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch that'll
download the app for you and register.... I think that a snapshot of
this map will be the strongest answer to the "gotta wait for the
charging stations" argument.

Yeah I'm really disappointed that I have to own or get access to an
iphone to be able to register my address, I think that's a bit short
sighted... Hopefully they will launch an online registry for the app.

Perhaps, EVangels should take the time to shoot them your views
[ info @ xatori.com ] on this, and ask them to allow access from any
web accessible device: iPhone, web-enabled-phone, Mac, PC: Windows or
Linux.

Someone on that team seems more Social-Network oriented, when really
the some of the comments I read on their iTunes page shows me some
people will not want to participate if they feel exposed. [
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plugshare/id421788217?mt=8&ls=1
then click View in iTunes , and their app page comes up in iTunes ]

There should be an unexposed, non-social networking aspect to
accessing their PlugShare database of good EV Charging info.

Imagine, EVangels going to their local 'public EV Charging' and
reporting on PlugShare its: availability, type of power and EVSE,
issues, and other comments (has a 24Hr mini-mart next door, well
lighted ...). This would go a long way to covering the huge holes
and gaps left by all the other EV Charging web sites.

evchargernews.com has done an excellent job for several years. But
now, with all this new EV charging coming online, it will over
whelming for evchargernews.com to keep up. Yet, with all the
EV-interested on PlugShare contributing to the EV-Cause, the baton
could be passed from evchargernews.com to plugshare.com to carry on
the good-fight.

Thank you for your comments, they have been recorded.
We are working to address a number of your concerns.
I can assure you that the creators of the app have been building
and driving electric vehicles, both privately and commercially,
for many many years. We will notify you when we have PlugShare
ready as a web platform.

Thanks,
