The PlugShare App on iPhone and Android have an undocumented feature that hides about 5% of the SuperChargers. I opened a case with PlugShare support and their last e-mail response said in effect, 'no problem.'
HOW TO REPLICATE
Start the App using SuperCharger filter. I found the problem with the Athens SuperCharger but replicated it with Nashville TN, Atlanta GA, or any urban area with a reasonable number of SuperChargers:
Where is Athens SuperCharger?
What is that little green dot in Athens close to the SuperChargers?
The green dot calls itself a SuperCharger but that is not the icon
Both the IOS App and Android App hide ~5% of all SuperChargers by the "Requires Fee" filter
Turn on the filter and 5% of the SuperChargers suddenly show up including the one in Athens AL
I replicated the same behavior at Nashville, TN and Athens, GA. The filter does not exist on the Web interface to PlugShare.
FOLLOW-UP
Apparently the PlugShare support staff I've been working with believes the inconsistent behavior of "Requires Fee" is perfectly OK. I suspect they do not have a Tesla. Regardless, it sounds like they want the PlugShare App "Requires Fee" to continue to hide 5% of the Tesla SuperChargers.
