We won’t get into the myriad ways to impress one’s audience while engaging in a live video podcast, but here’s one that slides into the ‘surefire’ category.

Are you the sort that doesn’t mind letting random people pull up in your driveway to recharge their electric vehicle ? Then you might want to consider using the new PlugShare app for iOS devices that was just released today, which will let you broadcast your location and plug status to everyone passing by. Of course, there are also some privacy settings if you prefer to control things a bit more tightly, and the app also includes a complete database of public charging stations across the US if you’d rather not bother someone else at all when you’re out on the road. What’s more, while the app is iOS-only at the moment, the company promises that an Android version is “coming soon.” Head on past the break for a quick demo video.
