How to Find EV Charging Stations Near You

Ask the right question

When you search for "EV charging station near me," Google and dedicated EV apps should return nearby options with distance, connector type, and availability. Combining multiple tools gives you the best chance of finding a charger that fits your trip.

Best tools to use

ChargeKr: Shows shared and public chargers with ratings, price, and booking capability.

Google Maps: Great for public charging station locations and driving directions.

In-car navigation: Use your EV’s built-in charger finder for on-route results.

Key search filters

Look for filters that let you choose:

Charger speed: slow, fast, or DC fast options.

Connector type: CCS, CHAdeMO, Type 2, or J1772 compatibility.

Ratings: recent reviews from people who used the charger.

Prefer chargers with recent availability data, strong ratings, and a connector type that matches your EV. If you need a quick charge, pick a DC fast charger. If you’re parking for a few hours, a slower public or shared charger can be more affordable.
