Power Up: The Best Apps for Finding EV Charging Stations

Whether you’re driving around town or planning a road trip in your electric vehicle (EV), you are probably looking for an easy way to find charging stations. Luckily, there are several apps to choose from that can help you charge your EV and get where you need to go. Whether you need to search by connector type, charging speed, distance from a hotel or want information from other users, there is an EV charging app for you.

EVHotels

This app helps you find hotels with EV charging stations or charging stations near hotels. You can search based on the type of charger you need and can also search on the walking distance to a public charging station if the hotel doesn’t have one on-site. You can also book a hotel room through the app and search based on chain or hotel name.

Availability: iOS only

Price: $2.99

Google Maps

The popular Google Maps app lets you search for “EV charging stations” and find out what’s currently available, with real-time availability. See port types and charging speeds, as well as what’s around the charging station. Read user reviews and questions and see ratings and photos, or submit your own information.

Availability: iOS, Android

Price: Free

PlugShare

This app lays claim to the most accurate and complete public EV charging map worldwide. It shows charging stations from major EV providers in the US, but also in Europe and Australia. You can search for charging stations compatible with your EV, see station ratings and use the EV trip planner.

ChargePoint

ChargePoint is the world’s largest EV charging network, and you can find one of its more than 100,000 charging spots in the app. You can find a station, see availability and start charging in the app. It’s also possible to use the “roaming” feature and use a ChargePoint account to use charging stations from other providers. Set filters in the app to find charging stations for your EV and also use the app to monitor charging progress.

ChargeHub

You can use ChargeHub to find public EV charging stations in the US and Canada. Get driving directions to the station, see live availability for certain EV charging networks, search by type of charger and more.
