How PlugCompass Works
Five steps to a charger that's fast, open, working and fairly priced.
Search Your Area
Enter your location or let PlugCompass detect it automatically. We'll show the nearest charging stations on the map and in a list, with each station's PlugCompass Score and max kW.
Compare Prices at a Glance
Station markers are color-coded by price: green for cheap or free, yellow for mid-range, red for expensive, and gray when the station doesn't publish a price (most don't).
Filter to Your Needs
Narrow results by charger speed (Level 2 or DC Fast), plug (CCS, CHAdeMO, J1772, Tesla/NACS), place type (hotel, grocery, parking ...), network, maximum price and open now / 24 hours.
Check the Score and the Details
Open a station to see its PlugCompass Score (0-10) and how it is made: price, real charging speed in kW, reliability from driver check-ins, access hours and ports. Distance and ads never change it. You also see what's within a 4-minute walk. How we score.
Charge & Save
Get directions to your chosen station and charge up. After your session, tap “Did it work?” and report the price you paid, so the next driver knows what to expect.
