ChargeTruth：電動車信任充電地圖

About this app

[Regional Unlock Progress Update: v0.11.1] Starting from Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli, we have officially launched the "Major Expansion Plan" for the nationwide charging map! We are currently unlocking new counties and cities in phases until all stations are fully operational nationwide.

Have you ever experienced this frustrating moment? The app shows "available," you drive 20 minutes to the location, only to find the charging station malfunctioning, blacked out, or occupied by a gasoline car?

ChargeTruth was created to end this feeling of being "tricked."

👨‍💻 Developer's Words: Why Did I Make This App?

Hi, I'm Josh. By day, I'm an asset project manager at a multinational company, accustomed to managing projects with rigorous data and frameworks; but after work, I'm just an electric scooter owner fed up with inaccurate information and being frequently "stood up" by charging stations.

Because there isn't an app on the market that truly solves the "trust" problem, I decided to make one myself. To be honest, I didn't know how to program before. This is an "atypical" development story—I started learning development on my own to solve this real pain point. Therefore, the current app functionality may not be sophisticated enough, and it may even have some flaws, but it is definitely an "evolving" organism.

I sincerely invite you to join this project. This system needs more than just code; it needs passionate drivers like you. Every use and feedback you give helps me improve this system, allowing us to make this map even better together.

🔍 An Honest Explanation Regarding Map Data Quantity

The current version's charging station data is 100% sourced from the "Ministry of Transportation TDX Official Platform." You may notice that we have fewer stations than some competitors. This is because we insist on using an "officially managed, publicly accessible" list, prioritizing the exclusion of private communities or poorly labeled "ghost stations." We'd rather have fewer stations than have you navigate to a private parking space you can't even enter.

Of course, our map data will not stop there. We will continue to verify other reliable data sources, promising to gradually add only rigorously vetted and certified trustworthy sites to the map to ensure that the information provided to everyone is always accurate and usable.

🚀 Core Features:

1. 🛡️ Exclusive "Trust Index": Traffic Lights on the Map We not only display official data but also combine it with real-time algorithms. The markers on the map directly tell you the truth with color, allowing you to make a decision at a glance:

🟢 Green: Highly trustworthy, proceed with confidence.

🟡 Yellow/Orange: Some issues recently, please check details.

🔴 Red: High risk! Possibly out of service or frequently occupied, please avoid.

⚪ Gray: Data vacuum zone, waiting for you, the pioneer, to explore and report!

2. ⚡ Instant Reporting, Immediate Results No complicated procedures required, simple 3 steps to report on-site conditions (gas truck blocking space, equipment malfunction, slow charging speed). Best of all? Your influence is instant! The moment you submit your contribution, the site's "Trust Index" will update instantly. You'll see the map colors change because of your contribution, directly helping the next driver avoid potential problems.

3. 📍 Regional Public Beta to Full Launch
We started by validating data quality in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli, and are now expanding nationwide, with more counties and cities unlocking with each update.
