How can you find public charge points for an electric car?
In 2025, the UK had more than 120,000 charge points open to the public. To locate them, you can use PEUGEOT connected navigation when available, as well as smartphone apps such as e-ROUTES You can also use a community-based app such as Zapmap or Octopus Electroverse.
How can you easily find public charge points for electric vehicles?
The right tool mainly depends on what you need to do: plan a long journey, find a nearby charge point or manage a charging session. In most cases, one or two solutions are enough. For a long journey, dedicated electric-driving planning tools add charging stops directly to the route. To search around you, a map-based app lets you compare charging power, connectors and, when the information is available, charge point status.
