The easiest way to find an EV charging station in India is with a charging app or Google Maps. Charging network apps (such as Tata Power EZ Charge, Jio-bp pulse, Statiq, ChargeZone and EarthtronEV) show their own chargers with live availability, while aggregator apps such as ElectricPe, Kazam and PlugShare list chargers from several networks. Before you drive to a charger, always check three things in the app: the connector (CCS2 or Type 2 for cars), the power in kW, and whether it is available and online right now.

Ways to Find EV Charging Stations Near You
| Tool | What it shows | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Charging network apps | That network’s chargers, live status, price per kWh; start and pay for sessions | Regular charging on networks you use often |
| Aggregator apps (ElectricPe, Kazam, PlugShare and others) | Chargers from many networks on one map, often with user reviews | Finding options in unfamiliar areas |
| Google Maps | EV charging stations with location, directions and often connector and power details | Quick searches and route planning |
| Your car’s app or navigation | Compatible chargers along your route, sometimes with battery-aware route planning | Highway trips |
What to Check Before You Drive to a Charger
- Connector: CCS2 for DC fast charging or Type 2 for AC. Older Bharat AC-001/DC-001 chargers will not suit most new cars. See EV charger and connector types.
- Power: a 60 kW DC charger is far quicker than a 7 kW AC one; check that the power suits your plans and your car’s limits.
- Live status: make sure the charger shows as available and online, not busy, reserved or faulty.
- Access and timings: chargers in malls, hotels or offices may have opening hours, parking fees or be reserved for customers or employees.
- Price and payment: check the per-kWh rate and that you have the app, wallet balance or UPI set up — see how to pay for EV charging.
- Recent reviews: aggregator apps often show whether other drivers charged successfully recently.
Planning Charging on a Highway Trip
- Plan stops at 60–70% of your real-world range, not the claimed range, and keep a buffer for detours.
- Prefer DC fast-charging hubs with more than one charger, so one fault or a queue does not strand you.
- Mark a backup charger for each stop.
- Charge to about 80% at fast chargers — beyond that, charging slows down sharply.
- Arrive with 10–20% battery rather than near zero.
Finding EarthtronEV Charging Stations
EarthtronEV operates DC fast-charging stations with CCS2 connectors across Delhi–NCR and on highways. Find station details for Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Rohtak, Murthal highway and Shimla, or see all our locations. You can start and pay for charging through the EarthtronEV app.
Home Charging vs Public Charging
Most EV owners do most of their charging at home or work, where it is cheapest, and use public fast chargers for longer trips or quick top-ups. If you do not have home charging, look for reliable fast chargers near your home or office and a workplace or society charging option. See EV charging for homes and apartments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find EV charging stations near me?
Search “EV charging station” in Google Maps or open a charging app — either a network app such as Tata Power EZ Charge, Jio-bp pulse, Statiq, ChargeZone or EarthtronEV, or an aggregator such as ElectricPe, Kazam or PlugShare that shows several networks together.
Which app shows all EV charging stations in India?
No single app shows every charger, but aggregator apps such as ElectricPe, Kazam and PlugShare cover many networks. Keeping the apps of the networks you use most often is the most reliable approach.
How do I know if a charging station is working?
Check the charger’s live status in the operator’s app before you go, and look for recent successful check-ins or reviews in aggregator apps.
Can any EV use any charging station?
Only if the connector matches. Most new electric cars in India use Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC), which work at most modern public chargers, but you usually need the operator’s app or an aggregator to start the session.
