Charging speeds and connectors explained

TypeTypical powerGood for
Slow / standardup to 6 kWOvernight top-ups, workplace and long-stay parking
Fast (AC)7 to 22 kWSupermarkets, car parks, destination charging
Rapid (DC)50 kW and upTopping up on a journey
Ultra-rapid (DC)100 kW and upFastest stops, if your car can accept the power
 Your car charges at the lower of the charger's power and its own maximum rate, so a 150 kW charger will not charge every car at 150 kW.
  • Type 2 is the standard AC socket in the UK, used at home and for fast AC charging.
  • CCS (Combined Charging System) is the standard rapid DC connector on most new cars in the UK.
  • CHAdeMO is an older rapid DC standard found on some earlier cars.

Electric cars and plug-in hybrids use a Type 2 socket for AC charging, and cars that support rapid charging use CCS. Whether your model can rapid charge, and how fast, differs from car to car, so check your owner's manual or your car's app for its connector and maximum charging rate.

Before you set off

  • Check live availability in the network's own app, because this map shows where chargers are, not whether they are free right now.
  • Have a backup charger in mind on longer trips, especially in rural areas.
  • Prices vary by network and often by time of day. The cost shown here is what contributors reported and may have changed.
  • Spotted a wrong or missing charger? You can fix it for everyone on Open Charge Map.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find an EV charging point near me?

Press Use my location or type your postcode into the finder above. It lists the nearest public chargers, closest first, and shows them on a map.

Does this show whether a charger is free right now?

No. It shows where chargers are, their connectors, speeds and reported prices. For live availability, use the charging network's own app before you set off.

What is the difference between Type 2 and CCS?

Type 2 is the standard AC socket used for home and fast AC charging in the UK. CCS adds two extra pins to Type 2 for rapid DC charging, and is the standard rapid connector on most new cars.

What counts as a rapid charger?

Rapid chargers deliver 50 kW or more using DC. Ultra-rapid chargers deliver 100 kW or more. Your car charges at the lower of the charger's power and its own maximum rate.

Where does the charger data come from?

From Open Charge Map, a community-maintained open database. It is updated by contributors, so details such as prices and speeds can be out of date. Anyone can correct a listing on openchargemap.org.
