EV Charger Widget: Live Status

EV Charger Widget puts live availability of the chargers you actually use right on your Android home screen. No app to open, no map to pan, no list to scroll — just a glance.

Built for drivers who charge in the same handful of places — home street, supermarket, office car park, motorway run — and want to know "is it free?" before they grab their keys.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN

Add the widget, pin your regular chargers, and see their status update through the day. AVAILABLE, IN USE, OFFLINE, or UNKNOWN — colour-coded so you can read it from across the room. Tap a row to jump straight into the charger detail. The widget refreshes automatically through the day, with a manual refresh button if you want it now.

INSIDE THE APP

Browse — Map and list views of public chargers around you. Sort by distance, see status at a glance through colour-coded pins on the map. Tap any charger for operator, connector types, power, and current status.

Pinned — Your saved set of regular chargers. Drag to reorder so the most important ones sit at the top of the widget.

Charger detail — Live status, a 7-day-by-24-hour heatmap showing how busy each charger typically is at this hour of the week, and a one-tap shortcut to Google Maps for directions.

WHAT THIS ISN'T

This is not a "find me a charger anywhere" app. If you want broad discovery, Zapmap and PlugShare are great at it. This app optimises for the other 90% of the time — the chargers you already know, on the home screen, glanceable in the second before you leave the house.

Recent changes:
Fixes pinned chargers sometimes showing an out-of-date status on the widget. Widget refreshes now show up immediately, and background refreshes wait for a network connection instead of being skipped while offline.
