About this charging-station finder
This map pulls live EV charging-point data from Open Charge Map, the largest open registry of charging locations, filtered to India. Each marker shows the station name, address, and available connectors (AC or DC fast). Green tags mark DC fast chargers — the ones you want on highways and long trips.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find EV charging stations near me?
Use the live map above—allow location access or pick your city to see nearby public chargers with their connector types and power ratings. Data is sourced from Open Charge Map, filtered to India.
What is the difference between AC and DC fast charging?
AC (slow/home) charging usually runs 3.3–7.4 kW and suits overnight top-ups. DC fast charging (25–120 kW+) can add meaningful range in 20–60 minutes and is used on highways and public hubs. Green tags on the map mark DC fast chargers.
How much does public EV charging cost in India?
Public charging typically costs around ₹8–22 per kWh depending on the operator and speed, which is still cheaper than petrol per km. Home charging is the cheapest option for daily use.
How many EV charging stations does India have?
India has over 15,000 public charging points across 2,100+ cities as of 2026, and the network is expanding quickly with both government and private operators.

Public charging in India, as it actually works
The map above tells you where chargers are. It cannot tell you the four things that decide whether public charging works for you, so here they are.
1. AC and DC are different animals
An AC charge point — the kind you find in office basements, malls and hotels — typically delivers 3.3 kW to 7.2 kW and is measured in hours. It is for topping up while you are doing something else. A DC fast charger delivers far more and is measured in minutes: on current cars, 10–80% takes anywhere from about 20 minutes to an hour. Confusing the two is the most common reason a journey plan collapses. If you need to be somewhere, look for DC.
A handful of models sold here have no DC fast charging at all. On those, every charge away from home is an AC charge measured in hours, which makes them city cars whatever their range says.
2. The connector matters
Most four-wheelers sold in India use CCS2 for DC fast charging and a Type 2 socket for AC. Some smaller and older models use the CHAdeMO or Bharat DC standards, and most two-wheelers charge from an ordinary domestic socket rather than any public standard. Before you rely on a station, check it has a connector your vehicle can use — a charger that is free, working and incompatible is no use to anyone.
3. Charging slows down above 80%
DC charging is not linear. The car protects its battery by tapering the rate as the pack fills, so the last twenty per cent can take as long as the first sixty. On a journey, charge to 80% and drive on. Waiting for 100% is usually slower end to end than stopping once more.
4. The map is not live
Charger locations come from public network data and are reasonably reliable. Charger status is not something any map can promise — a unit can be occupied, out of order, behind a mall barrier that closes at ten, or on a floor the security guard will not let you reach. Check the operator’s own app before you set off, keep a second option within range of the first, and arrive with 15–20% in reserve. That reserve is not for your driving; it is for the charger.
What it costs, and why home charging still wins
Public DC charging in India is priced per unit and typically costs several times a domestic tariff, because the price has to carry the hardware, the grid connection and the site. That is reasonable, and it is also why the running-cost case for an EV is built on home charging. An owner who charges mostly in public keeps a good deal less of the saving that made the EV attractive in the first place. If you cannot charge where you park, work that into your maths before you buy — the running-cost calculator lets you try it at a higher per-unit rate and see what happens.
Networks you will meet
Several operators run public charging in India, and most require their own app and wallet. Keep at least two installed. Payment usually works through the app rather than a card reader on the unit, so arriving at a charger without the right app on a phone with no signal is a real failure mode — set up accounts before you need them, not in a basement at eleven at night.
Public charging FAQs
How long does public charging take?
On a DC fast charger, roughly 20 to 60 minutes for 10–80%, depending on the car rather than the charger. On an AC point, several hours. The fastest-charging EVs list ranks current models on exactly this.
Is public charging more expensive than charging at home?
Yes, usually by a wide margin, because the price includes hardware and site costs. Home charging is where an EV’s running-cost advantage is actually realised.
Can I turn up without an account?
Often not. Most networks authenticate and bill through their own app, so install and set up at least two before you need them.
Does fast charging damage the battery?
Occasional use is what the system is designed for and is not a problem. Relying on DC charging for every session is harder on the pack than overnight AC charging — the battery guide goes into why.
Is the charger map live?
No. It shows locations, not real-time availability. Always confirm in the operator’s app before setting off.
