For electric vehicle owners, finding reliable charging remains a top concern. A widely used solution is the Plug Share app, where users can view pricing for both standard and fast charging across the globe. While the platform serves most regions, information about charging stations in Russia disappeared in the spring, and nearby charge cards in other areas became inaccessible to some users unless they use a VPN. In response, a capable group of developers quickly created a Russian counterpart called 2Chargers to fill the gap and keep the community connected.
At 2Chargers, all data from Plug Share about available loaders was transferred, and the new platform soon proved to offer more engaging features. The app not only shows the charging type, whether fast or standard, but also indicates current relevance. If a charger is out of service at the moment, its icon appears grayed out. Users can explore charging points with photos of the location, read reviews, and check ratings. A particularly useful detail is whether there is an active charging session on a given charger, helping drivers plan their stops more efficiently.
As the landscape of EV charging continues to evolve, drivers benefit from having real-time status and community feedback at their fingertips. The ability to compare charging speeds, verify station availability, and gauge the overall quality of a location makes charging decisions easier and less stressful. With 2Chargers, the emphasis is on clarity, transparency, and up-to-date information, all designed to support smoother long-distance travel and everyday commutes alike.
Vote – win Lada!
In addition to charging discussions, the platform invites users to participate in the Behind the Wheel Grand Prix, a vote that helps identify the year’s standout car novelties. The process is simple: contributors share their opinions on which new models best meet modern driving needs, safety features, and value. The participation experience is designed to be engaging and light, while still offering meaningful insight into consumer sentiment for forthcoming vehicle releases.
As a token of appreciation for time spent on the survey, a drawing is held to reward participants. Prizes are reserved for those who complete the questionnaire within the designated window, and the goal is to acknowledge the community’s dedication to shaping the future of automotive design and technology.
