How to read this country guide
Snapshot source
Figures are computed from Open Charge Map reference data imported by PlugSphere. 12,457 station records include some source-provided cost text.
What a record means
One station record can describe one location with one or more charging connections. Record and connector counts are therefore different and should not be read as live port availability.
Verify before relying on it
Coverage can be incomplete or delayed. Confirm access, pricing, connector compatibility and current status with the charging operator before travelling.
