Chargemap
Find EV charging stations across Europe
by Chargemap
About this app
Chargemap is one of Europe's reference apps for electric vehicle charging. It helps drivers find charging stations, filter by connector, power, network, price, availability and user rating, then plan longer EV journeys with more confidence. The app lists more than one million charging points and covers most major European charging networks. It is especially relevant in France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and other EV-heavy markets. Chargemap combines community data with practical trip planning and the Chargemap Pass, making it useful for both daily charging and holiday routes.

Detailed Review
Chargemap is built for a specific but increasingly common problem: EV drivers need reliable charging information, not just pins on a map. A charger can be too slow, occupied, blocked, broken, incompatible or hidden inside a car park. Chargemap's value is in surfacing the details before you arrive.
For France, the app is particularly strong. It covers dense urban charging, motorway stops, regional networks and cross-border travel. The official listing points to more than one million charging points and wide coverage across European networks.
The filters are the heart of the experience. You can narrow by connector, charging power, free stations, best-rated locations, motorway access or preferred networks. For long trips, that prevents the classic EV mistake: choosing a charger that exists but does not fit your actual needs.
Community reviews and photos are a major advantage. Operator data is useful, but real drivers often explain whether a station is easy to access, reliable, crowded or poorly signposted.
The Chargemap Pass adds another layer by letting drivers pay across many compatible networks with one card. It will not cover every charger or guarantee the lowest possible price, but it reduces app and account fragmentation.
Our verdict: Chargemap is close to essential for EV drivers in France and Europe. It is strongest as a planning and verification tool before you commit to a charging stop.
