The apps for trip planning are mostly concerned with charging stops, but what about errands? We want to try charging with a DCFC, so want to plan an errand, a doctor appointment in Columbus in a few weeks. What app is best for finding a DCFC station near the medical building, with a place to eat lunch within walking distance?

We have PlugShare, but it seems more about long trips.

PlugShare lets you find chargers. You can set it for high speed chargers only.

Your 250 free kWh are at EA chargers only.

You better eat fast, a DC charger will be done in less than an hour, maybe 30 minutes, and you will get charged penalty fee per minute for leaving it there, plus annoy other drivers waiting to charge.

That sounds a very specific requirement, unless you plan to drive there with low charge, your best option probably is plugshare. It's not for long distance planning, but mostly for searching chargers and user feedback on them.
