Why search for your nearest EV charge points?
For EV drivers, finding a reliable and available charging point quickly is essential - especially if you're on the move or dealing with range anxiety. Unlike petrol stations, EV charge points can vary in availability, connector type, and charging speed. With the UK’s charging network still growing, it's important to plan ahead and have backup options in case a charger is in use or temporarily out of service.
Our EV charge point search tool helps you:
- Quickly locate nearby charging stations
- Filter by connector type and power rating
- Find fast or ultra-rapid chargers to suit your needs
Stay charged and confident - wherever your journey takes you.
Where can I find my nearest EV Charge Point?
Using our EV charging station lookup service you can quickly find the nearest charge points within your area using a postcode or current location (if enabled on your browser/phone). You can view the results as a list or directly on a map, helping you plan your route.
We have the latest information from over 70000 charging points nationally from all the major UK charging brands - including Tesla, BP Pulse, InstaVolt, Pod Point, Osprey, Gridserve, Shell Recharge.
Data is normally updated daily by each of the providers. We indicate the time since they were last updated and an estimated distance to drive to the charging point.

Energy Saving Tips for EV Drivers.
Range anxiety - the fear of running out of charge before reaching your destination - is a common concern among EV drivers.
Reducing your energy consumption can help ease that anxiety by extending your driving range, reducing charging frequency, and lowering electricity costs - especially when using public chargers or charging during peak times.
Here are some practical ways to improve the efficiency of your Electric/Hybrid Vehicle:
Consider driving at 60mph on motorways instead of 70mph to reduce your energy consumption and improve range.
Avoid harsh acceleration or braking. EVs are highly responsive, smooth driving conserves battery power and maximizes regenerative braking.
Clear out unnecessary items from your car. Less weight means your EV uses less energy to move, which helps maintain efficiency.
Air conditioning and heating systems in EVs draw directly from the battery. Use climate control sparingly or switch to eco modes if available.
If your EV supports it, preheat/cool the cabin while the car is still plugged in. This uses grid power instead of battery power.
Most EVs offer eco or efficiency modes that optimize power delivery, regenerative braking, and climate settings to extend range.
Vehicle Maintenance for Optimal Efficiency
Keep your tyres properly inflated. Underinflated tyres increase rolling resistance and energy use.
Software updates, brake checks, and battery health inspections help your EV run efficiently.
Unused roof racks create drag and reduce efficiency - especially at higher speeds.
