PlugShare, formerly Recargo, Inc., is based in El Segundo, California, and was founded in 2009 to advance sustainable energy data and EV infrastructure. The business is entirely focused on electric vehicles, with a mission to accelerate the adoption of plug-in car technology. Its offerings include a community-driven app that helps EV drivers locate public charging locations worldwide, a companion API used by external apps and in-vehicle systems, and data-on-demand services for market research and infrastructure planning. PlugInsights provides a research service aimed at capturing driver perspectives for automakers, utilities, and policymakers. The platform serves EV drivers globally as its primary audience, while also supporting automakers, utilities, charging providers, and public agencies with insights and tools for site prospecting and reporting. A recent development is the December 2025 integration of Epic Charging with PlugShare, reflecting ongoing ecosystem partnerships.
