How to find an EV charging station in India

Search an Indian city, locality, address, PIN code or landmark, or choose Use my location to search near your device. Results show the distance from the selected location and can open directions using the station's supplied coordinates.

Check the connector before you travel

EV charging points may offer AC Type 2, DC CCS or CCS2, CHAdeMO, GB/T, or other standards. Connector information depends on the station record, so confirm that your car supports the connector and charging power shown.

AC charging versus DC fast charging

AC charging is common at homes, workplaces and destinations. DC fast charging can add energy more quickly, but the vehicle and station must both support the required DC connector and power level.

Station availability and data freshness

This tool uses Open Charge Map station records. Availability unknown means the provider did not supply a reliable current status; it does not mean the station is available or unavailable.

Before starting a charging trip

  • Refresh the results shortly before departure.
  • Confirm live status, price, access hours and payment method in the operator's own app.
  • Keep a backup charging option for longer journeys.

Location privacy: browser location is optional. It is used to search nearby stations and is not required for manual search. Location searches may be sent to external map and station providers to return results; review their policies before use.

Understanding EV Charging in India

Electric vehicle charging in India spans home wall boxes, workplace points, and a growing public network of AC and DC stations across cities and highways. This guide explains the terms, connectors, costs and habits every EV driver in India should know before their first public charging session.

Unlike refuelling a petrol or diesel vehicle, EV charging speed depends on three things together: the power the station can deliver, the power your vehicle's onboard charger or battery can accept, and the connector match between the two. Use the map and search tool above to locate nearby stations, then use the sections below to understand connectors, costs, timing and safe charging habits.

Types of EV Charging: Slow, Fast and Rapid

Public and home chargers in India are broadly grouped into three speed categories. Knowing which one you are using helps you plan how long to stay at a station.

🐢

Slow AC Charging

Typically 3.3 kW using a standard socket or basic AC wall box. Best suited to overnight home charging or long-stay parking where time is not a constraint.

Fast AC Charging

Roughly 7 kW to 22 kW through a Type 2 AC wall box. Common at homes with a dedicated circuit, offices, malls and destination charging points.

🚀

Rapid DC Charging

High-power direct current delivered through a CCS2 or GB/T connector, commonly used at public and highway stations to add a significant amount of range in a shorter stop.

EV Charging Connector Types in India

India's public charging network uses a mix of connector standards. Always confirm the connector on the station listing matches your vehicle before you drive there.

🔌

CCS2

The Combined Charging System connector is the most common DC fast-charging standard for newer electric cars in India, combining AC and DC pins in one socket.

🔗

Type 2

The standard AC connector used for home wall boxes, workplace and destination charging, and as the AC side of a CCS2 socket.

🔧

GB/T

A DC connector standard that appeared on several early Indian-market electric cars and public chargers; still found on some vehicles and older stations.

🪫

Bharat AC-001 / DC-001

India's early low-power charging standards, mainly seen on legacy installations and a small number of older entry-level electric cars.

Home Charging vs Public Charging

Most EV owners in India use a mix of both. Here is how they typically compare.

Home Charging

Charging at Home

Overnight AC charging through a wall box or socket, usually the most convenient and cost-effective option for daily use.

  • Best for topping up overnight on a routine schedule
  • Requires wiring, earthing and sanctioned load checks
  • No queueing, no idle fees, no travel to a station
Public Charging

Charging at a Public Station

AC or DC charging at malls, offices, highways or dedicated charging hubs, useful for topping up while out or on longer trips.

  • Faster DC options can add range quickly on a trip
  • Pricing, access hours and payment vary by operator
  • Availability depends on location and time of day

What Affects EV Charging Cost in India

Public EV charging pricing is set by each operator and varies by city, connector type and charging speed. These are the common pricing structures to check before you plug in.

💰

Per kWh Pricing

The most common model - you pay for the energy actually delivered to your vehicle, shown in rupees per kWh.

⏱️

Per Minute Pricing

Some operators charge by session duration rather than energy delivered, which can vary in value depending on your charging speed.

📅

Subscription Plans

Frequent users may get discounted rates through a network subscription or membership plan.

⚠️

Idle and Access Fees

Extra charges can apply for staying connected after your session ends, or for parking and access at some locations.

How Long Does EV Charging Take

Actual charging time depends on your battery size, starting charge level, the charger's power output and what your vehicle can accept. These are typical ranges for common charger types.

Charger TypeTypical PowerApprox. Time for a Meaningful Top-Up
Home socket (slow AC)~3.3 kWSeveral hours, typically overnight
AC wall box (fast AC)7-22 kWA few hours, suited to daytime or overnight top-ups
Public DC fast charger30-60 kWRoughly 30-60 minutes for a substantial top-up
High-power DC charger60 kW and aboveCan be significantly faster, subject to vehicle limits

Note: these are general ranges, not guarantees. Your vehicle's onboard charger, battery chemistry and temperature all affect the actual speed you experience.

Planning a Long-Distance EV Road Trip in India

Long-distance EV travel in India is increasingly practical with some extra planning. Follow these steps before you set off.

1

Map your charging stops

Search this tool along your route and note two or three station options at each planned stop, not just one.

2

Keep a range buffer

Plan to arrive with a reasonable reserve rather than cutting it close, to allow for traffic, detours or a closed station.

3

Check connector compatibility

Confirm each planned stop supports your vehicle's connector, especially on less-travelled routes.

4

Account for weather and terrain

Hills, heavy air-conditioning use and extreme temperatures can reduce real-world range compared to the car's estimate.

5

Carry a backup plan

Note the nearest alternative station and a roadside assistance contact in case your first choice is occupied or offline.

EV Charging Networks and Operators in India

Public EV charging stations in India are run by a mix of operator types, and this locator draws on Open Charge Map's crowd-sourced and operator-submitted station data across all of them.

Fuel Retailer Forecourts

Some oil marketing companies have added EV charging bays at existing fuel stations along highways and in cities.

🚗

Automaker Networks

Several vehicle manufacturers operate or partner on dedicated charging networks for their own customers and the wider public.

🏢

Independent Charge Point Operators

Dedicated EV charging companies install and run stations at malls, offices, apartments and standalone hubs in many cities.

🏛️

Public and Municipal Stations

Some city authorities and public sector organisations have installed charging points at government buildings, parking lots and public spaces.

EV Charging Station Etiquette

Shared charging infrastructure works best when every driver follows a few simple courtesies.

🅿️

Move Once You're Done

Relocate your vehicle promptly after charging finishes so the next driver can use the bay.

🔌

Don't Unplug Others

Never disconnect another vehicle's charging session without permission, even if it appears finished.

📢

Report Faults

Flag a damaged connector, broken screen or offline charger through the operator's app so it can be fixed for others.

🧾

Follow Site Rules

Respect posted parking, time-limit and access rules at malls, offices and residential charging locations.

EV Charging Safety Tips

EV charging is designed to be safe, but a few habits reduce risk further.

🔍

Inspect the Cable

Check the charging cable and connector for visible damage, exposed wiring or moisture before plugging in.

🏠

Use a Qualified Electrician at Home

Have a licensed electrician assess your wiring, earthing and sanctioned load before installing a home charger.

🌧️

Keep Connections Dry

Charging connectors are built for outdoor use, but avoid forcing a connection through standing water or during heavy exposure.

🔥

Never Use Damaged Equipment

Do not use a charger, cable or socket that shows signs of overheating, burning smell or physical damage.

EV Charging for Apartment and Housing Society Residents

Charging an EV without a private garage is increasingly common in Indian cities, with a few extra steps to plan for.

Many housing societies now allow residents to install a dedicated charging point in an allotted parking spot, subject to society approval and an electrician's assessment of the building's electrical capacity. If a private point is not possible yet, this locator can help you find the nearest public or shared charging station as a reliable interim option.

Workplace and Destination Charging

Charging while you are already parked for other reasons is one of the most convenient ways to keep your EV topped up.

A growing number of offices, malls, hotels and multiplexes in Indian cities offer AC charging points for visitors and employees. These are usually slower than dedicated DC fast chargers but suit the several hours a vehicle is typically parked at a workplace or destination, adding meaningful range without a separate charging trip.

EV Charging Availability Across Indian Cities

Public charging infrastructure is expanding across India, with the largest concentration in major metros and growing coverage in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Search this page for any of the locations below, or your own city or PIN code.

Delhi NCRMumbaiBengaluruChennaiHyderabadPuneKolkataAhmedabadJaipurChandigarhKochiSuratLucknowCoimbatoreIndore

EV Charging on National Highways

Charging corridors along major national highways are gradually improving long-distance EV travel in India.

Highway charging stations are typically spaced at fuel plazas, dhabas and rest stops, and coverage still varies significantly by route. Before a highway trip, search this tool along your planned road, note more than one station option per stop, and keep a realistic range buffer since highway driving speeds can reduce an EV's efficiency compared to city driving.

Understanding Charging Speed: kW vs kWh

These two units are easy to confuse but describe different things.

Power

Kilowatt (kW)

Measures the rate at which energy is delivered - essentially how fast a charger can charge. A higher kW rating means a faster potential charge, subject to what your vehicle can accept.

Energy

Kilowatt-hour (kWh)

Measures the total energy added to your battery, and is usually what you are billed for under per-unit pricing. Your battery's total capacity is also measured in kWh.

EV Battery Health and Charging Habits

A few everyday habits can help maintain your EV battery's long-term health, alongside your vehicle manufacturer's own guidance.

🔋

Avoid Charging to 100% Daily

Many manufacturers recommend keeping daily charge levels in a moderate range and reserving a full charge for longer trips.

🐢

Prefer AC Charging Day-to-Day

Using slower AC charging for routine top-ups and reserving DC fast charging for when you need it can be gentler on the battery over time.

🌡️

Be Mindful of Extreme Heat

High ambient temperatures can affect charging speed and battery health, so parking in shade when possible can help.

📖

Follow the Manufacturer's Guidance

Charging recommendations vary by vehicle and battery chemistry, so always check your owner's manual for specific advice.

Government Support for EV Charging Infrastructure

Central and state governments in India have introduced various policies and guidelines to expand public EV charging infrastructure.

The Ministry of Power has issued guidelines to encourage public and private investment in charging infrastructure, and several state governments run their own EV policies with incentives for charger installation. Scheme names, eligibility and incentive amounts change periodically, so always check official central and state government portals for the latest details before relying on any specific incentive.

EV Charging Payment Methods in India

Public chargers in India support a range of payment options, though this can vary by operator.

📲

UPI Payments

Many networks now accept UPI directly through their app or a QR code at the charger for a quick, cashless session.

💳

Cards and Wallets

Debit, credit and digital wallet payments are widely supported through the operator's own app.

🪪

RFID Cards

Some networks issue an RFID card or tag that you tap at the charger to start and bill a session.

📅

Prepaid or Subscription Plans

Frequent users can often load a wallet balance or subscribe to a plan for smoother, sometimes discounted, charging.

Troubleshooting Common EV Charging Problems

A few quick checks can resolve most everyday EV charging issues.

🔌

Charger Won't Start a Session

Confirm the connector is fully seated, restart the operator app, and check the app for any account or payment issue before assuming the charger is faulty.

📴

Station Shows as Offline

Try refreshing this page's results, and confirm status in the operator's own app since listing data can lag behind real-time status.

🗺️

Station Details Look Outdated

Public listings are crowd-sourced and operator-submitted, so details can occasionally be stale; treat the operator's app as the final source before travelling.

🔍

No Compatible Charger Nearby

Widen your search radius, remove connector filters temporarily to see the full picture, or check a neighbouring town along your route.

EV Charging in India: A to Z Guide

26 essential terms to know before you plug in

Use this quick EV charging glossary to understand public charging stations, electric car charger types, charging speed, connectors, costs and trip planning. Search the map above for an EV charger near your location, then verify live details with the operator.

A - AC Charging

AC charging supplies alternating current to the vehicle's onboard charger. It is common for home, office and destination charging and is usually slower than DC fast charging.

B - Battery State of Charge

Battery state of charge (SOC) is the battery percentage. Public EV charging is often fastest at a lower SOC and may slow down near full charge to protect the battery.

C - CCS2 Charger

CCS2, also called Combined Charging System, is a widely used DC fast charging connector for electric cars in India. Always match the plug with your vehicle before starting.

D - DC Fast Charging

DC fast charging sends direct current to the battery without relying on the car's onboard AC charger. It can reduce charging time, but the charging power depends on both car and station.

E - EV Charging Etiquette

EV charging etiquette means moving your car after charging, leaving a bay accessible, following operator rules and reporting a damaged connector so other drivers can use the station.

F - Fast Charger

A fast EV charger generally delivers more power than a standard AC point. The terms fast, rapid and ultra-fast vary by operator, so check the listed kW rating.

G - GB/T Connector

GB/T is a charging connector standard used by some electric vehicles and chargers. Connector availability varies by city and network; confirm compatibility before driving to a station.

H - Home EV Charging

Home EV charging is convenient for overnight use, usually through an AC wall box or portable charger. A qualified electrician should check the wiring, earthing and sanctioned load.

I - Idle Fee

An idle fee may apply when a vehicle remains in a charging bay after the session ends. Check the operator's pricing and grace period before charging at a busy location.

J - Journey Charging Plan

A long-distance EV trip plan should include connector compatibility, charging time, station opening hours, backup locations and enough range to handle traffic or weather changes.

K - Kilowatt and Kilowatt-hour

kW measures charging power, while kWh measures energy added to the battery. A higher kW charger is not automatically faster if the vehicle accepts less power.

L - Level 1, 2 and 3 Charging

Charging levels describe power categories. In everyday use, Level 2 usually refers to AC destination charging, while Level 3 commonly means high-power DC fast charging.

M - Mobile EV Charging Map

An EV charging station map helps drivers search by city, PIN code or GPS location. Use the map for discovery, but confirm live availability, pricing and access in the network app.

N - Navigation to a Charger

Use the station's supplied coordinates for EV charger directions. Straight-line distance on a map is different from driving distance, road access and actual travel time.

O - Open Charge Map

Open Charge Map is a public charge point directory used by this locator. Records can vary in freshness, so treat operator confirmation as the final source before a charging trip.

P - Plug-in and Payment

Public chargers may support app payment, QR payment, RFID, card or operator-specific wallets. Check the required EV charging payment method before arriving.

Q - Quick Charging Cost

EV fast charging cost may be calculated per kWh, per minute, per session or through a subscription. Taxes, parking and idle fees can be separate from the energy price.

R - Range and Reserve

Keep a practical EV range reserve instead of arriving at zero percent. Hills, air-conditioning, speed, payload and temperature can reduce the range shown by the car.

S - Slow Charging

Slow EV charging usually means lower-power AC charging suited to overnight or long-stay parking. It can be gentler on schedules and more affordable where time is available.

T - Type 2 Connector

Type 2 is a common AC connector for electric cars and public destination chargers. The vehicle, cable and station socket must all support the same connection.

U - Uptime and Availability

Charger availability can change quickly because a station may be occupied, offline or reserved. “Availability unknown” means no reliable live status was supplied.

V - Voltage and Vehicle Compatibility

Charging depends on the vehicle's supported voltage, current, connector and maximum input power. Never assume a high-power station will deliver its headline speed to every EV.

W - Wireless EV Charging

Wireless EV charging transfers energy through a ground pad rather than a plug. It is less common at public stations than cable-based AC and DC charging in India.

X - X-Factor in Charging Time

The real EV charging time depends on battery size, starting SOC, charger output, vehicle limits, temperature and whether another car shares the site.

Y - Your EV Charging Checklist

Before using a charger, check connector type, kW, operator, price, access hours, payment, live status and directions. Carry the correct cable when the station requires a user-supplied lead.

Z - Zero-Emission Driving

Zero-emission driving at the vehicle tailpipe is one benefit of electric mobility. Responsible charging also means using reliable stations and planning energy use efficiently.
