About

Built to make charging stops easier.

EV Plug Finder is operated by Big Data Analytica LLC, doing business as EV Plug Finder, located in Fairfax, Virginia (referred to as “we,” “us” or “our”).

Use EV Plug Finder across platforms

The website provides the full browser experience. The iOS app offers native charger search, maps, trip planning, saved chargers, account access and community tools designed for iPhone. The Android app opens EV Plug Finder as a Trusted Web Activity through a supported browser. Features and data can vary by platform, country, device permissions and service availability.

Location is optional: use a current-location control when you want nearby results, or search by city, postal code or address. On iOS, optional Face ID can protect return access to your account without giving EV Plug Finder your face image or biometric template. Saved-trip reminders, when allowed, are scheduled locally on the device.

Find a charging stop that fits

Search by city, postal code or address, or choose to use your location. Filter by vehicle, connector, speed, network and price. Station cards show available connector, power, port and charging-price information. Our current business focus is the United States. Charger search includes the United States and selected European markets; detail and completeness vary by location.

Plan a trip and keep an alternative

Trip Planner currently supports U.S. routes and lets you preview a route, choose charging stops and compare other stations near each suggested stop. Stops use the same labeling style as search, including parking and nearby restroom details when available. Sign in to save a trip to your account. A saved plan is not a charger reservation or a guarantee of sufficient range; check your vehicle, leave a reserve and keep alternatives.

Charging cost is not the whole stop cost

Charging rates and parking or garage fees are separate. A station can offer free charging inside a paid garage. Parking warnings and expandable parking icons help explain available fee, access and restriction information without treating every garage as paid. No parking label means information may be missing, not that parking is free.

Amenities with honest limitations

When OpenStreetMap lists a nearby restroom, a restroom icon opens details such as approximate straight-line distance, access, listed fees, opening hours and wheelchair access. Nearby does not necessarily mean accessible to you. These details are not personally verified by EV Plug Finder: check signs, hours and access on arrival.

Help the next driver

Signed-in drivers can report available, busy or broken chargers, charging prices and actual session costs, and leave ratings and reviews. When guest reporting is enabled, visitors can also report charger status or price without signing in at supported stations. Guest prices are reviewed before public display and guest reports do not earn points or badges. “Available” means at least one working port was reported free—not that every port is open. Reports carry timing information and are not an operator-guaranteed live feed.

Eligible signed-in contributions earn points toward levels and milestone badges. You can choose badges to display in your account and alongside community comments. The Founding Contributor badge is available to qualifying contributors during the original 90-day window plus a three-month extension. It remains earned after that window ends, subject to removal of invalidated contributions, account deletion or service closure. See your account for earning rules, limits and badge progress.

Community safety

Review controls let signed-in users report problematic written reviews and block contributors. Reports go to a private moderation process, while blocking hides that contributor’s reviews for the signed-in account. The iOS app can also hide an individual review locally on that device. Automated checks and human moderation help address abuse, spam, exposed personal information and misleading content. Contact Contact@EVPlugFinder.com with a safety concern or moderation appeal.

Share a useful find

Share EV Plug Finder from the account area without signing in, or use “Share station” in a station’s Details view to send that specific public location. Supported devices open their sharing menu; otherwise you can copy the link. Public station links also work in manually created QR codes. Sharing does not publish your saved trip or earn referral points.

Data sources and sponsored businesses

We combine OpenStreetMap and AFDC charging-directory information with separate community contributions. Address lookup, routing and external navigation use third-party services. Data may be missing or out of date, so confirm critical details with the operator.

We have no sponsored campaigns at present. If introduced, clearly labeled sponsored nearby businesses can help drivers discover places while charging. Sponsorship is separate from community reports and does not change charging-station search ranking. Restroom and parking information is not a sponsor endorsement. Learn more on our For Businesses page.

Compatibility and directions

Vehicle profiles are convenience filters, not guarantees. Adapters, network permissions, software and station hardware can affect compatibility. Directions open in Apple Maps on supported Apple devices or Google Maps on other devices; EV Plug Finder does not provide its own turn-by-turn navigation.
