⚡ OpenChargeMap EV Station Scraper

🚀 Map EV charging stations anywhere in seconds. Query a city or a whole country and get operators, connector types, and power ratings for every station.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-02 · 📊 29 fields per station · coordinate or country queries · global EV network

Pull electric vehicle charging stations from the OpenChargeMap global network. Search by coordinates with a radius or by country code, and for every station get its operator, full address, status, connector types, maximum power in kW, and the number of charge points.

Coverage: the worldwide OpenChargeMap database of public and private charging points. Pass coordinates (for example "51.5072,-0.1276") with a radius, or a two-letter country code.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
EV drivers and apps	Find and map nearby chargers
Charge network operators	Benchmark competitor coverage
Infrastructure analysts	Study connector and power mix
Fleet and logistics teams	Plan charging along routes

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
coordinates	string	Center point "lat,lon". Returns nearby stations.
distanceKm	integer	Search radius in km.
countryCode	string	Optional. Two-letter ISO code, used when no coordinates are given.
maxItems	integer	Cap on stations returned. Free plan is limited to 10.
apiKey	string	OpenChargeMap API key. A shared key is provided by default.

Example 1: by coordinates

{
  "coordinates": "51.5072,-0.1276",
  "distanceKm": 10,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example 2: by country

{
  "countryCode": "DE",
  "maxItems": 500
}

⚠️ Good to Know: OpenChargeMap requires a free API key. A shared key ships by default, but for heavy use get your own at openchargemap.org. The distanceKm field is populated only for coordinate queries. Some community records omit status, cost, or connector details, so those fields can be empty.

2. How do I search a city? Pass coordinates as "lat,lon" with a distanceKm radius.

3. Can I search a whole country? Yes. Use countryCode with a two-letter ISO code.

4. What connector data is included? Each station lists connector type, level, power in kW, current type, and quantity.

5. Why is distance sometimes empty? Distance is calculated only for coordinate queries, not country queries.

6. How fresh is the data? Each station shows dateLastVerified and an isRecentlyVerified flag.

7. Can I filter by power or connector? Sort or filter the output by maxPowerKW or connectionTypes after a run.

8. What export formats are supported? CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and API.

9. Can I run it on a schedule? Yes, with Apify Schedules and integrations.

10. Is there a free option? Yes. Free runs are limited to 10 items as a preview. Paid plans unlock up to 1,000,000.
