Looking for EV charging stations near you? The map below helps you find nearby chargers, and the guide underneath breaks down the charger types, the connector your car needs, what charging costs, and which gas stations and travel stops now have fast chargers. Whether you are topping up around town or planning a road trip, knowing the difference between a slow Level 2 and a DC fast charger saves you a lot of waiting.

Types of EV Chargers: Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast
There are three speeds, and the gap between them is huge:
- Level 1 – a standard 120-volt household outlet. It adds only a few miles of range per hour, so it is really only for overnight top-ups at home.
- Level 2 – 240-volt power, the kind used by most home chargers and public chargers at stores, workplaces, and parking lots. It adds roughly 20 to 40 miles of range per hour, good for a few hours parked.
- DC fast charging – the high-power chargers you want on a road trip. They take most EVs from about 10 to 80 percent in 20 to 45 minutes. These are what you will usually find at gas stations and travel centers.
For finding a charger near you in a hurry, DC fast is the one that matters; for daily driving, a Level 2 while you shop or work is usually plenty.
EV Connectors: NACS, CCS, and J1772
Make sure the charger fits your car. In North America there are three plugs to know:
- J1772 – the universal Level 2 (AC) plug used by nearly every non-Tesla EV and every home Level 2 charger.
- CCS – adds two DC pins below a J1772 plug for DC fast charging, up to 350 kW, on most non-Tesla EVs sold in recent years.
- NACS – Tesla’s connector, now the emerging North American standard (also called SAE J3400). Starting in 2025, Ford, GM, Rivian, and others began switching new cars to NACS, and Tesla Superchargers are opening up to non-Tesla drivers, often with an adapter.
The older CHAdeMO plug is fading out, found mainly on early Nissan Leafs. If you are unsure, check your car’s charge port or manual before you pull up.
How Much Does EV Charging Cost?
It depends heavily on where you plug in. Charging at home is by far the cheapest, at roughly the price of your household electricity, around 16 to 18 cents per kilowatt-hour on average. Public DC fast charging costs much more, with a national average near 45 to 50 cents per kWh, while Tesla Superchargers often run a bit less, around 30 to 45 cents. In high-cost areas like New Jersey and Washington, D.C., public rates can top 60 cents per kWh. The takeaway: charge at home when you can, and use DC fast charging for trips and quick top-ups.
Which Gas Stations Have EV Charging?
More and more fuel stops are adding DC fast chargers, which makes them handy for a quick charge and a break:
- Sheetz and Wawa lead the convenience-store chains, with fast chargers at a growing share of stores.
- Buc-ee’s has added banks of high-power chargers at newer travel centers.
- Circle K is rolling out hundreds of public fast-charging stalls.
- 7-Eleven runs its own 7Charge network at select stores, and Pilot and Flying J travel centers have fast chargers along the highways.
Availability still varies by location, so the map above, or one of the charging apps below, is the surest way to confirm before you go.
How to Find EV Charging Near You
Start with the map at the top of this page. For live status, pricing, and stall availability, EV drivers usually lean on a charging app or two: PlugShare is popular for discovering chargers across every network, while network apps like Electrify America, ChargePoint, and EVgo handle payment. For an official, no-account option, the U.S. Department of Energy runs a free public charger locator at the Alternative Fuels Data Center. On a road trip, a route planner that maps chargers to your car’s range takes the guesswork out of where to stop. If you are weighing every zero-emission option, hydrogen is the other one worth a look — though as our hydrogen fuel stations near me guide explains, that network is a fraction of the size and largely confined to California.
EV Charging Near Me FAQ
Where can I find EV charging stations near me?
Use the map at the top of this page, then confirm status and price with a charging app or the Department of Energy’s free locator. For a road trip, prioritize DC fast chargers.
What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging?
Level 1 is a slow household outlet, Level 2 adds 20 to 40 miles of range per hour and is the common public and home charger, and DC fast charging refills most of the battery in 20 to 45 minutes.
How much does public EV charging cost?
Public DC fast charging averages around 45 to 50 cents per kWh nationally, and Tesla Superchargers often a little less. Charging at home is far cheaper, near 16 to 18 cents.
What is NACS, and can a non-Tesla use a Supercharger?
NACS is Tesla’s connector, now becoming the North American standard. Many new non-Tesla EVs are adopting it, and most current non-Tesla drivers can use many Superchargers with an adapter.
Which gas stations have EV chargers?
Sheetz, Wawa, Buc-ee’s, Circle K, 7-Eleven, and the Pilot and Flying J travel centers are among those adding DC fast charging, though availability varies by location.
