EV charging points near you
Public chargers around you — how fast they are, which plugs they take and who runs them. From a postcode.
01 · Where this comes from
The public register, kept by the public
Britain used to have an official one. The National Chargepoint Registry was run by the Department for Transport and it was switched off in November 2024, which leaves no free government list of where you can charge a car.
This page reads Open Charge Map instead: a non-profit register that drivers and charging networks both contribute to, published under a Creative Commons licence. It is the most complete free source there is, and it is not perfect — a charger installed last week may not be on it, and a broken one may still be. Every point shows when somebody last confirmed it, so you can judge for yourself.

What this cannot tell you
Whether a charger is free right now, or working. Live availability comes from each network’s own app, and no free national feed publishes it. This page tells you where the chargers are, how fast they are and what fits — check the network’s app before you rely on a particular one.
What do the speeds mean?
Roughly: slow is up to 7 kW and takes overnight; fast is 7 to 22 kW, a few hours; rapid is 43 to 99 kW, most of a lunch break; ultra rapid is 100 kW and up, twenty minutes to a cup of tea. Cars differ, and every charger slows down as the battery fills.
Which plug does my car take?
Almost every electric car sold in the UK since about 2018 uses Type 2 for slow and fast charging and CCS for rapid. Older Japanese cars — the early Leaf especially — use CHAdeMO for rapid charging instead. The list shows what each site has.
Are Tesla Superchargers included?
Yes, both kinds: the Tesla-only sites and the ones Tesla has opened to other cars. There is a Tesla filter on the list when there are any near you.
Why a postcode and not my location?
Because a location prompt is a promise about what happens next. The postcode is turned into a rough map point in your browser, and only that point is sent on. We never receive the postcode.
A charger near me is missing.
The register is kept by the public, so a new installation may not be on it yet, and private points — staff car parks, gated depots — are deliberately left out. A list that sent you to a locked barrier would be worse than a shorter one.
Motorfile is a UK car-ownership app for iPhone and iPad. It keeps your MOT, tax, mileage and running costs in one place, from a number plate — and it shows these charging points on your phone too. See the app.
