About & Legal Disclaimers

Our Mission

As electric vehicle adoption expands across the country, finding reliable public charging shouldn't require downloading multiple proprietary apps or struggling with clunky interfaces.

PlugBeacon was built as a fast, accessible, and lightweight locator that works on any browser without mandatory user registration or paywalls. By combining live geolocation, map pin drag-and-drop precision, and speed-tier filtering (Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast charging), drivers can quickly locate compatible plugs and get direct turn-by-turn navigation in seconds.
