I was going to send an announcement, but Sherry Boschert has beat me
to it, and said it better than I could.

The App is in the App Store now -- search on "ev charger".

Jeff and I are working together to improve this app, and add new features.
Jeff has done a great job!  Stay tuned for future versions.

The only missing Tesla charger along 101, as far as I am aware, is Goleta.
The station became operational recently, and the database will be updated
soon.  If you know of any other missing 208-240V charging stations, please
fill out the form at

(Note that we don't list 120V-only charging stations.)

An EV Driver's Favorite App
Posted: 10 Feb 2010 08:07 PM PST

I'm a relatively new iPhone user, but I think I've already found my
favorite app of all time -- the EV Charger Finder app. Jeff Lander,
who drives an electric BMW Mini, created this free app utilizing the
best database of EV charging locations that exists -- Tom Dowling's
evchargernews.com. Electric vehicle drivers have been contributing
reports to Tom's website for years, and he maintained it as a labor of
love.

I'm just giddy over the elegance and ease of the iPhone application.
It shows lists of charging stations by city, or by different kinds of
charging stations, and tells you how far a station is from your
location and which stations are working or have problems at the
moment. Some quick-eyed EV drivers already noticed it's missing a few
of the Tesla charging stations on California's Highway 101, but these
and many, many more are sure to be added as the charging
infrastructure gets built up in a big way in the coming year.

The EV Charger Finder app is free, and free of advertising, too!
Hooray for Tom and Jeff and the fabulous EV driving community for
supporting each other's desire to drive on clean, affordable domestic
electricity.
