DC fast chargers (50 kW+), AC chargers (22 kW+), and reserved EV parking. Plug type, opening hours, and direct navigation link.
This map shows every public charging station from OpenStreetMap — from AC wallboxes in parking garages to high-power DC fast chargers on highways. See the operator (e.g. Tesla Supercharger, Ionity, EVgo, ChargePoint, Electrify America), plug type (Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO), power in kW, opening hours, and whether the station is paid. Reserved EV-only parking spots without charging are shown as well — handy for city-center parking. The power filter (22 kW / 50 kW / 150 kW) hides slow chargers when you only need HPC on a road trip.
All locations come from OpenStreetMap and are loaded live via the Overpass API whenever you pan the map. OpenStreetMap is a free, community-maintained world map — think Wikipedia for geography. Chargers are tagged amenity=charging_station together with detail tags like socket:type2_combo, maxpower or capacity. Because the data is crowdsourced it's not always 100 % complete — you can contribute yourself: create an account on openstreetmap.org, add the missing station, done. Every other EV driver benefits from your edit.
AC (alternating current) is converted to DC by the car's on-board charger — usually 11 or 22 kW. DC (direct current) flows directly into the battery and allows 50-350 kW. So DC is for fast charging on the go, AC for long parking sessions (home, hotel).
Standard DC fast chargers deliver 50 kW. Modern HPC (High Power Charging) stations reach 150-350 kW. Tesla Supercharger V3 hits 250 kW, Ionity 350 kW. Real-world charging speed depends on the car and state of charge (SoC) — most EVs throttle significantly past 80 %.
A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) for route planning with charge stops, PlugShare for user reviews and live status, Chargemap for cross-operator payment, plus your home operator's app (ChargePoint, EVgo, Electrify America, etc.).
Locations are up-to-the-day — the Overpass API returns the latest OSM version, usually within minutes of an edit. The availability status (free/in-use/broken) is not included — for that use PlugShare, Chargemap, or the operator's app.
Most apps from the major charging networks show only their own stations, hide roaming partners, or quietly downrank competitors. This map relies entirely on OpenStreetMap, an open and vendor-neutral database. Stations are tagged with amenity=charging_station; additional properties such as socket:type2_combo, socket:chademo, maxpower, capacity, fee, access and opening_hours describe the details. We filter on exactly those fields and surface them in the popup — so you do not just see that a station exists, but how many plugs it offers, whether it charges a fee, and whether it is open 24/7.
On any longer drive the decisive question is usually: where is the next DC fast charger above 50 or 150 kW? Stations with maxpower >= 50 appear in a darker teal, slower AC chargers in light blue. That way you immediately see whether the next stop is just an 11 kW hotel wallbox or a real DC charger that puts your car back on the road in 30 minutes. Equally useful is the access tag: customers or private hints at hotel or company chargers, while yes or public means open to everyone.
Because the data come from the OSM community, coverage is densest in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway — places where mappers systematically log charging stations. Sparsely populated regions and parts of Eastern Europe still have gaps. You can close them yourself: if you spot a station that is not mapped, you can add it to OpenStreetMap in a few minutes for free. Not only this map, but every OSM-based app worldwide benefits from your contribution.
This map does not replace the range planner in your car, but it is ideal whenever you need a quick overview without signing up to yet another charging app:
All location data come from OpenStreetMap and are loaded live from the visible map window through the Overpass API. OSM data is published under the Open Database License (ODbL): you may use, share and commercially exploit it, as long as you credit the source and publish derived databases under the same terms. We credit the source in every popup. If you want to add a missing station or correct outdated data, you only need a free OSM account and an editor like iD. Tip: alongside amenity=charging_station always add operator, capacity, socket:*, maxpower and fee — those fields are what make the map genuinely useful for everyone.
OSM is crowdsourced — and that has consequences. Coverage in metro areas is very high, while in rural regions it can be dramatically thin. A mapped station does not automatically work: fixme and survey:date tags can hint at quality, but they are not mandatory. Real-time occupancy is not part of OSM at all — for that you still need the operator's app or aggregator APIs. Prices may also be outdated or missing. Treat the map as a research tool: it reliably tells you where chargers exist, of what type and at what power. Whether a particular plug is free right now, and what a kilowatt-hour costs today, is for the operator app to answer on site.
maxpower): >= 50 kW => fast charger (teal), below that normal charger (blue), pure EV parking without a plug in grey. This uniform scheme is what makes cross-operator comparison possible in the first place.This map runs entirely in your browser. Your location is never sent to our servers — it's only used to center the map. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap.
All points come from OpenStreetMap and are fetched live via the Overpass API. Something missing or wrong? Anyone can fix it directly on OpenStreetMap — the map will reflect the change shortly after.
