Where do you charge electric cars when traveling?
I love my new electric car, but I’ve only ever needed to use my home charger with it. Where do you charge electric cars when traveling?
Allison Stone · Updated on

When traveling with an electric car, you can charge your car at any available public charging station.
Public charging stations
are most often found in parking lots or parking garages, but their location and the type of charging stations available really depend on where you are. If you’re lucky, your hotel or other accommodations may have a charging station on site that is available for guests to use! If not, there are plenty of apps you can use to find a station near you.If you’re using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze, just type “EV charging stations” to find places to charge up near you. Other apps you can use include the Tesla app, ChargePoint and PlugShare.
Even if you’re using a DC fast charging station, filling up to 80% of your battery’s capacity can still take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes on average. While you wait, check the
