A few local EV Charging Stations. I know you can upload photos to plugshare, how do you provide a video link to plugshare?

These are level 2 EVSEs, NOT quick chargers (aka DC fast chargers). I use these exact stations from time to time...

I haven't watched your videos, but the rest at least show a CHAdeMO DC FC.
 
You are right, I will make the correction. Thanks.

Yes, I tried to post as comment, but the hyperlink only was displayed at regular text. And it is not sticky, it will be shifted down soon.

Have you tried posting a link as a comment?
 
below is the reply:
=================
Hi David,

Thanks for writing in. This is the first time the idea of posting user videos has come up. Adding video capability would be a significant upgrade and at this point we haven't heard from many users who want this feature. The development team will discuss this idea and add it to our list of possible features. At the moment the best way to post a video to a location would be to paste a link into a checkin comment or the location's description. You brought up an important point about links appearing as plain text in that mynissanleaf thread . This will be corrected in our next release, so at the very least a video link will be tappable.

Thanks for your input. User feedback is always great to hear.
==================

my question next is:
I know I can leave comments by "check in", but how do I add the video link to the description?

Thanks, sent an email to [email protected], will let you know what they say.

Probably PlugShare doesn't want to support video. But you could ask them. Try Alex Lampila at [email protected]
 
Hey, good job! You've changed the world just a little bit! A video tutorial would be helpful for new EV owners when they first use a station. Gotta love PlugShare too, they're very responsive to feedback.
 
I asked how to add to the description, there is his reply:

========================
Hi David,

Sorry for the slow reply, this thread got buried over the long weekend. To add a link to a description you have to tap the "edit" button when viewing a location and then paste the link as part of the description text.
========================

I checked a few more locations, at some locations you see the "edit", at other locations you don't see any "edit". Why is that?
 
yes,
this is the reply I got:

=====================
Hi David,

There are some locations that are locked to user editing. Overall it is a very small percentage of the locations in PlugShare. When you view a locked location in the app you see a "flag" button instead of edit. Tapping flag lets you send a message to our data integrity team and you could send along a video link to be added to the description.

Thanks,
=====================

However I used both chrome and IE, it did not have this "flag". If I use cell phone, there is something there, but since copy and paste is not as easy on cell phone, I have not done so.

Some locations prefer to control their own descriptions.
 
your link is only photo, your link is not video link.

Correct. Was an example of a station listing on plugshare that doesn't allow crowd sourced editing. Read a few posts back until you get the context.
