How to find an EV charging station near you
Pick your vehicle first
This is the step most charger maps skip. Of India's 43,433 public charging guns, 14,652 locations serve scooters and three-wheelers on LEV connectors that will not fit a car. Choosing Cars or Scooters first means every result is one you can actually plug into.
Share a location, or type a city
Allow location access and the finder sorts every charger within your chosen radius by straight-line distance. No GPS? Type any of 5,204 towns and cities in the register instead.
Filter to fast, then confirm
Switch on “DC fast · 25+ kW” to cut the list to the 6,916 locations that can give a meaningful top-up in under an hour. Then open the operator's app to confirm the plug is free — the register does not carry live status.
What counts as a fast charger?
Fast charging is about the charger's power rating in kilowatts, not the brand on the box. The register publishes a kW figure for every gun, and that is what the filter above uses.
100 kW+ DC. The fastest public charging in India — a long-range EV can take a meaningful top-up inside a coffee stop.
25–60 kW DC. The workhorse of highway charging — a usable top-up in roughly 30 to 60 minutes.
8–22 kW, mostly Bharat DC-001. Worth it for an hour-plus stop, not for a quick dash.
Up to 7.4 kW AC, and 3.3 kW LEV points for scooters. Overnight or long-stay charging.
Which plug does your vehicle use?
Nearly half of India's public charging points are LEV connectors built for electric scooters, bikes and three-wheelers. They will not charge a car, and a car's CCS-2 gun will not fit a scooter — which is why the finder asks for your vehicle first.
| Connector | For | Charging points | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| LEV AC | Scooters & bikes | 16,252 | Light Electric Vehicle AC — electric scooters and three-wheelers |
| CCS-2 | Cars | 12,226 | The DC fast-charging standard on almost every EV sold in India today |
| Bharat AC-001 | Cars | 6,875 | India-specific 3.3 kW AC, three guns per unit |
| Type-2 AC | Cars | 4,411 | AC charging, 7.4 kW typical — the slow socket most EVs also carry |
| Bharat DC-001 | Cars | 1,764 | India-specific 15 kW DC, built for early EVs like the e2o and Tigor EV |
| LEV DC | Scooters & bikes | 1,758 | Light Electric Vehicle DC (IS 17017-2-7) — Ather and similar two-wheelers |

EV charging station cost in India
Public charging in India is billed per unit of electricity — per kWh — and the rate is set by the charge point operator, not by any national tariff. That is why the same car can cost noticeably different amounts to charge at two stations a kilometre apart.
Three things move the number on your bill:
- DC versus AC. Fast DC charging carries a higher per-unit rate than slow AC. You are paying for the hardware and the grid connection behind it, not just the electricity.
- Who owns the site. State discoms and the oil marketing companies price differently from private networks on mall and hotel forecourts.
- Extras on top. Some sites add a parking charge, a session or service fee, or make the operator's app mandatory to start a session.
Even so, charging an EV publicly works out well below the per-kilometre running cost of petrol, and charging at home overnight is cheaper still — a domestic connection bills at household rates with no service fee attached.
Why there are no rupee figures on this page: the Bureau of Energy Efficiency register publishes locations, connectors and power ratings — it does not publish tariffs. Rather than print a number we cannot stand behind, every station card says “tariff not published”. Check the live rate in the operator's own app before you plug in.
Electric scooter and bike charging
Two- and three-wheelers charge on their own standard — IS 17017-2-7, which the register lists as LEV AC and LEV DC. These are physically different connectors from the CCS-2 and Type-2 guns on a car, and they run at about 3.3 kW, so a public LEV point is a top-up rather than a fast fill.
They are also, by some distance, the most common public charging points in the country: 14,652 of the 28,789 locations in the register take a scooter. Ather's network uses LEV DC; most other operators have installed LEV AC. Several networks also require their own app to unlock a session.
Switch the finder to Scooters & bikes and it drops every car connector from the results, so nothing in the list is a wasted trip. Battery-swap stations are a separate network and are not part of this register.
Highway charging and petrol-pump chargers
The quickest way India added highway charging was to put it where the fuel already is. Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum and Jio-bp have installed on their own forecourts, which is why so many chargers on a national highway turn out to be at a petrol pump — with the toilets, tea and lighting that make a 40-minute stop bearable.
For a long drive, plan around the DC fast · 25+ kW filter and the At a petrol pump filter together, widen the radius to 100 km, and note a backup station before you commit to a leg. Charger availability is not live anywhere in this dataset, so a second option on the same stretch is worth having.

EV charging — your questions answered
How do I find an EV charging station near me?
Share your location or type your city in the finder above. It reads India's national public charging register — 28,789 locations published by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency — and lists what is closest to you, sorted by distance, with the charger's power rating and connector type. Pick your vehicle first: nearly half the country's charging points are built for scooters, not cars.
What counts as a fast charging station?
Anything from 25 kW upwards is fast DC charging, and that is where the "DC fast" filter is set. Below that, 8–22 kW Bharat DC-001 units suit an hour-plus stop, and 3.3–7.4 kW AC points are overnight charging. India's fastest public chargers run at 100 kW and above.
How much does EV charging cost in India?
Public charging is billed per unit (kWh), and the rate is set by the charge point operator, not by a national tariff. It typically sits well above domestic electricity rates and below the per-kilometre cost of petrol, and DC fast charging costs more per unit than slow AC. Some sites add a parking or service fee on top. The national register does not publish tariffs, so always check the price in the operator's own app before you plug in.
Can I charge my electric scooter at a car charging station?
Usually not. Electric scooters and three-wheelers use LEV AC and LEV DC connectors under IS 17017-2-7, which are physically different from the CCS-2 and Type-2 guns cars use. Switch the finder to "Two-wheelers" and it only shows points your scooter can actually use.
Are there EV charging stations at petrol pumps on highways?
Yes — the oil marketing companies have been the fastest installers. Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum and Jio-bp have put chargers on their own forecourts, which is why so many highway chargers sit at fuel stations. Use the "At a petrol pump" filter to see only those.
Does this show whether a charger is free right now?
No, and nothing that claims to from this dataset would be telling the truth. The national register publishes locations, connectors and power ratings — not live plug status. Treat the list as "this charger exists and this is what it can do", then confirm availability in the operator's app before a long detour.
