PlugShare is launching version 8.0 of its EV charging application for iPhone on November 10. The update introduces a dark mode that synchronizes with system settings, a redesigned trip planner, and an overhauled Apple Watch application.
The updated trip planner now displays distances between charging stops and the trip origin. Users can also access saved locations and profile data immediately upon opening the app. Additionally, the interface now supports the display formats of the iPhone Duo, including folded positions.
The new Apple Watch application provides directions to nearby stations based on filters configured on the iPhone. It displays station details such as PlugScore, network operators, and connector types like NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO, and J1772. Users can also add shortcuts to their watch faces.
Android users are scheduled to receive the dark mode and a redesign based on Google Material 3 in early 2027. The current update for iOS devices is available through the App Store.
