Where Does PlugShare Store Trips and Checkins?
Where the PlugShare app keeps checkins and trips on Android and iPhone, and what the account holds. Full paths are listed below.
Last updated
PlugShare is community map plus personal log. Stations, reviews, and photos live in the shared cloud. Your account holds checkins, vehicles, and trips. The phone holds login, tiles, and drafts.
Same login means same garage of EVs. Exact cache names shift with releases. Keep signal on at chargers so checkins upload. If trips vanish, check the email first. A social versus email login split creates a duplicate empty profile more often than users expect. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.

Trips follow your PlugShare account. Phone holds login, tiles, and drafts. Stations live in shared cloud. Match the login method exactly.
On My iPhone/PlugShare
Trips live in the PlugShare container plus cloud. Sign in to restore checkins. Phone reinstall never touches shared stations or cloud trips.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move PlugShare trips to a new phone?
Checkins, photos, and trips follow your PlugShare account. Sign in on the new phone with the same login. Stations themselves live in the shared map cloud. Verify profile before wiping, since a second account with a typo shows empty.
Do PlugShare checkins survive reinstalls?
Yes, in the cloud account once posted. The phone holds login, map cache, and drafts. Station photos pending upload stay local until signal returns. Export trip summaries for records, since the phone never holds the master map alone.
