This is not a live map

ChargeMap describes what is installed at each site — power, connectors, operator — from OpenStreetMap. It does not know whether a plug is free, working, or even still there right now, and no static page can. Before you rely on a charger, check the operator's own app. Treat everything here as a starting point, not a guarantee.

How long a charge takes here

Estimated 10–80% charging time at this site's 7 kW rating, for three battery sizes. On AC the car's onboard charger is usually the limit, not the post — many cars cap at 7 or 11 kW however fast the post is.

Battery10–80%Energy added
40 kWh4 h 21 m28 kWh
60 kWh6 h 31 m42 kWh
80 kWh8 h 42 m56 kWh

Estimates, not measurements. Real speed depends on the car, the battery temperature, the state of charge you arrive at, and how many other cars are sharing the site. How this is worked out.

What that costs

A 60 kWh battery from 10% to 80% takes about 42 kWh. At three illustrative rates:

ScenarioRateCost of that charge
Charging at home$0.29/kWh$12.18
Public AC$0.45/kWh$18.90
Public DC fast$0.80/kWh$33.60

Illustrative rates, not this operator's prices — public charging tariffs vary by network, plan and time of day. Substitute the rate you actually pay. More on charging costs.
