The fine print, in plain terms

Disclaimer

General information only

ChargingAtlas provides general information drawn from the U.S. Department of Energy / NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC). It is offered as-is, without warranty, and should not be relied on as the sole basis for a trip or purchase.

Not a live availability map

We show what NREL records about each public station — counts, networks, connectors, and pricing where listed. We do not show real-time status. A station listed here can be busy, broken, gated, or temporarily closed. Always confirm a charger is available and working in the charging network's own app before you rely on it.

Data may be incomplete or delayed

NREL's records can contain gaps, corrections, or reporting lags, and we refresh our snapshots on a schedule (we show the month our data was retrieved on each page). For the most current details, check NREL's AFDC Station Locator and the network directly.

Not affiliated

ChargingAtlas is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NREL, the U.S. Department of Energy, or any charging network (ChargePoint, Tesla, EVgo, Electrify America, etc.). Network names and trademarks belong to their owners.

Affiliate and advertising disclosure

ChargingAtlas is supported by advertising and may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links on the site — mainly in our home charger buying guide. Product picks are editorial and hand-reviewed; a commission never changes the station data we report or how we report it. The specs we list are the manufacturers' own published figures — always confirm current price and fit before buying.
