Finding the right charger should feel like finding a parking spot, not solving a puzzle. When you pull up the ChargePeer map and see a grid of nearby stations, the most important question is almost never "show me everything" — it is "show me the best one for this moment." Today that question gets a one-tap answer.
The marketplace landing page now includes a Station Sorting Control. Next to the plug-type filters, a new Sort By row lets you reorder the entire network grid with a single tap: Recommended, Distance, Price, or Power. Running low and need a plug right now? Sort by Distance. Watching your budget on a long trip? Sort by Price. In a hurry and want the fastest connector in reach? Sort by Power. The station that matters most is always at the top, no scrolling, no mental arithmetic.
Sorting works hand-in-hand with the existing search bar and connector filters. Search for a neighborhood, narrow to CCS2, and sort by price — three taps from a vague idea to the exact charger you should head toward.
We also kept a quiet promise from earlier releases: every dialog should behave like a well-built dialog. The Assist Charge SOS, EV Route Trip Planner, Dynamic Tariff, and V2G Load Exchange modals now close with the Escape key, exactly the way keyboard users expect, and they lock the page behind them while open so scrolling does not drift away from what you are doing. Behind the scenes, the V2G grid-dispatch and SOS rescue simulations now guarantee their timers stop when the dialog closes, no matter how it is dismissed — which keeps the live telemetry honest and your battery from leaking cycles in the background.
Finally, a reliability note for the operators and uptime monitors among us: the backend root health endpoint was returning an unexpected HTTP 401 to unauthenticated probes. It now returns a clean HTTP 200 status, so the "is ChargePeer up?" checks that run around the clock see the service exactly as your drivers do — healthy and answering.
None of these are headline features. They are the everyday details that make a charging marketplace feel fast, predictable, and worthy of trust: a sort that respects your time, dialogs that respect your keyboard, and a health check that tells the truth. When your next charge is one tap closer to the right plug, that is this release working exactly as designed.
