How to Find EV Charging Stations Near You

Press Use My Location to load the charging stations around you, or search any city, address or station name to look somewhere else. The map shows each station as a pin coloured by its fastest charger; tap one to see its connectors, power, opening hours and directions. Move the map and press Search this area to load stations along a route or in another part of town. Nothing is loaded until you ask, and your location is never requested until you press the button.

Narrow the results with the filters above the map: pick your car's connector, a minimum charging speed, or only stations that are free, paid, open now or available now. A filter is greyed out when the data source behind the map does not publish that information, because a filter that guessed would send you to the wrong charger.

EV Connector Types Explained

Which chargers you can use depends on the sockets your car has. These are the connectors the map filters by:

ConnectorWhere it is usedCurrentTypical power
Type 2 (Mennekes)Europe, UK, Australia and much of AsiaACUsually 7 to 22 kW
CCS2 (Combo 2)Europe, UK, Australia and much of AsiaDC50 to 350 kW and more
CCS1 (Combo 1)North America and South KoreaDC50 to 350 kW
J1772 (Type 1)North America and JapanACUsually up to 19.2 kW
NACS (SAE J3400)North America: Tesla and a growing number of other makesAC and DCUp to 250 kW and more at Superchargers
CHAdeMOJapan, and older Nissan and Mitsubishi models elsewhereDCUsually around 50 kW
TeslaTesla Supercharger and Destination sitesAC and DCSuperchargers outside North America use CCS2

The CCS filter matches any CCS connector, version 1 or 2; CCS2 matches only Combo 2. Tesla matches Tesla connectors and stations on the Tesla network.

EV Charging Speeds

Charging speed is measured in kilowatts (kW). The map groups stations by the fastest charger they have:

  • Slow, under 7 kW: domestic-style sockets and low-power posts, for long stays such as overnight parking.
  • Standard, 7 to 49 kW: mostly AC chargers at car parks, hotels, shops and workplaces, where a car stays for a few hours.
  • Fast, 50 to 149 kW: DC chargers for a top-up during a stop of half an hour to an hour.
  • Ultra-fast, 150 kW and above: DC chargers on main roads and motorways, built for long journeys and cars that can take high power.

A car only charges as fast as the slower of the two ends. The car's own maximum rate, how full the battery is and the battery temperature all set the real speed, which usually falls as the battery fills.

Live Availability, Prices and Accuracy

Station details come from the data source shown above the map, and nothing on the map is estimated or filled in. If a source does not say how many chargers are free right now, the station card says Live availability unavailable instead of guessing. A station is only labelled free or paid when the source says so, and opening hours are shown exactly as published.

Chargers are added, upgraded and taken out of service all the time, so check the station in the operator's app or on site before you rely on it, especially on a long trip.

EV Charging FAQ

Press "Use My Location" and the map shows the public charging stations recorded within about 10 km of you, nearest first. Your browser asks for permission first, and your position is only used to centre the search and work out distances. You can also type any city, address or station name into the search box without sharing your location.

Most cars sold in Europe charge on AC through a Type 2 socket and on DC through CCS2. In North America, AC charging mostly uses J1772 and DC charging uses CCS1 or NACS (SAE J3400), the connector Tesla designed and most manufacturers are now adopting. CHAdeMO is found on some older Nissan and Mitsubishi models. Your owner's manual, or the charging flap on the car, shows which ones yours accepts.

With AC charging the car's own on-board charger converts the power, which limits the speed, typically to 7 to 22 kW. A DC charger does the conversion itself and feeds the battery directly, which is why DC fast chargers can deliver 50 kW and far more. AC suits overnight and destination charging; DC suits journeys.

On this map, Fast means at least 50 kW and Ultra-fast at least 150 kW. The power you actually get is limited by your car's maximum charging rate, the battery's state of charge and its temperature, so a 350 kW charger will not charge a car that accepts 100 kW any faster than a 150 kW one.

Only when the data source publishes live availability. When it does, the station card shows how many connectors are available and when that was last updated, and the Available Now filter switches on. When it does not, the card says "Live availability unavailable" rather than guessing.

Some chargers are, most are not. A station is only marked as free or paid when the data source says so, and the Free Charging and Paid Charging filters only include those stations. Any price shown is the text the source publishes; tariffs change, so confirm the price in the operator's app or at the charger before you plug in.

Yes. Search any city or move the map along your route and press "Search this area" to load the chargers there. Filter by your car's connector and by speed to see only the stations that suit it, then use Get Directions to open the route in Google Maps.
