Filter by CCS, CHAdeMO, Type 2 or another supported connector, where the connector is known. A charger with no connector recorded is left out, not assumed to match. You can also filter by power: 150 kW DC is a short stop, 7 kW AC is an overnight charge.
Supported connector types
CCS · Type 2 · CHAdeMO · Tesla / NACS · GB/T · J1772 (Type 1). Connector details show wherever they have been mapped.
Most chargers show connector type and power from OpenStreetMap. If a driver reported a charger as working or occupied, you see that report with its source and time. Map data and driver reports are shown separately. Connector and power data can be incomplete, so check on arrival.
AC (alternating current) charging is slower, usually 3–22 kW. It is typical of home wallboxes and destination chargers. DC (direct current) rapid charging skips your car's onboard converter and gives far more power, commonly 50 kW up to 350 kW. That is what you want on a road trip. Your car can only take so much: a 350 kW charger will not charge a car capped at 100 kW any faster than a 100 kW one.

What do the kW numbers mean for charging time?
Kilowatts tell you roughly how fast energy flows in. A 50 kW charger adds far less range per minute than a 150 kW one. Real speed also depends on how full the battery is and its temperature. Charging slows once the battery passes about 80%, so rapid stops work best from 10% to 80%, not up to 100%.
Which connector does my car use?
In Europe most modern EVs use Type 2 for AC and CCS for DC rapid charging. Older Japanese models may use CHAdeMO. Tesla vehicles use CCS in Europe (and increasingly NACS in North America). Filter the map to your connector, so you do not arrive at a working charger you cannot plug into.
How do I avoid a broken charger?
The most common problem is driving to a charger that is broken, occupied or the wrong type. Check the connector and recent status before you go. Have a backup charger in mind, and do not run the battery down to the last few percent. Refuelia shows connector type and power from open map data, and recent working status from drivers where available.
Finding fuel needs no account. Confirming that a station has fuel, or that a charger works, is one tap and anonymous. Posting a price, a comment or opening hours needs a free Google sign-in, so each one comes from a real, named person.
