For EV drivers

Every app rates the charger.
We rate the stop.

You're stuck at a fast charger for 20 minutes. Plugside tells you if there's food, a clean bathroom, good lighting, or a place to walk your dog before you pull in.

Plugside stop detail: an 80 Stop Score with what's a short walk away
The why

The charger is fine. The stop is the problem.

Route planners pick your chargers. Charger apps tell you if the stalls work. Then you arrive, and nobody warned you about the next 20 minutes.

20 min
You're not driving. You're waiting.

Fast charging means 15 to 25 minutes standing somewhere you didn't choose. Snacks, bathrooms, a walk for the dog, space for the kids. That's the real stop.

0
Apps that rate the area around the charger.

Existing apps rate charger performance and reliability. None of them rate what's around the charger. You find out by pulling in and looking around.

10:42 PM
And timing changes everything.

A stop with great tacos at noon is a dark, closed parking lot at night. Plugside scores stops for when you actually arrive.

The how

Your score, not the average driver's.

Flip the toggles. Watch the same two chargers re-rank, because a parent with a golden retriever and a solo commuter should not see the same number.

Under the hood

Useful on day one. Sharper every drive.

🗺
Scored from real data, instantly

Every charger starts with a score built from what's actually walkable nearby: restaurants, restrooms, parks, lighting proxies. No reviews required.

⚡
Drivers sharpen it in 20 seconds

Quick-tap reviews, no essays. "Well lit." "Grass for dogs." "Felt sketchy." Community signal blends in as it grows and recent visits count most.

⚖
Weighted to you

Charging speed, food, safety, pets, kids, accessibility. You set what matters and every score everywhere recalculates. Same charger, your number.

Built in

Everything the wait deserves.

⚡
Fast charging, weighted

Peak kW counts as much as you want it to — including an estimate of Tesla Supercharger generation (V2/V3/V4).

🕐
Open when you arrive

Uses your ETA and counts only what'll actually be open — with walking times from the charger.

🔌
Built for your car

Tell it your connector and adapter (CCS / NACS); it only shows stops you can actually use.

✅
Did it actually charge?

Real session reports from drivers: did it work, and were any stalls broken.

👍
Worth a stop?

A one-tap community verdict — would drivers stop here again — not just a star rating.

🌙
Night-aware

Safety and what's open are scored differently after dark, because 10 PM is a different stop.

⚠
Deal-breaker flags

If something you care most about is weak, we warn you before you commit.

🐾
Your whole crew

Pets, kids, and accessibility weighted into the score — grass, play areas, step-free access.
