How This Locator Works, and What It Does Not Claim
Public charging in the United States is a mix of networks, connector standards, and power levels. This page is a planning map for that mix. It is not a live occupancy board. EnterPlanet LLC built it so a driver can see which stations near an address actually match the plug on the car, before they leave the driveway.
Station listings come from the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuel Stations dataset, maintained by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), now officially the National Laboratory of the Rockies. That is an official federal inventory, not a crowd-sourced app. Networks still add, move, and take stations offline faster than any national database can refresh. A pin on this map means the dataset currently reports a station at that location with the connectors and network shown. It does not mean a stall is open, a screen is working, or the price on the app is the price you will pay tonight.
Connectors, power, and why filters exist
NACS (the Tesla connector, now opening to other brands), CCS, CHAdeMO, and J1772 are the four filters that matter for most U.S. cars. J1772 is the common AC public and home connector. CCS and NACS are the DC fast-charging paths for most new vehicles. CHAdeMO remains on older Nissan and Mitsubishi packs and a shrinking set of public stalls. Filtering by connector is the difference between a useful map and a map full of stations you cannot use. Charging speed filters (Level 2 versus DC fast) exist for the same reason: an overnight Level 2 stall and a 150 kW highway stall are not interchangeable trip tools.
Search radius is a planning choice. Five miles is a neighborhood. Twenty-five miles is a typical first look around a highway exit. One hundred miles is a corridor scan. A larger radius returns more stations and more noise. Start tight, then widen if the first result set is empty.
What to do with a result
Use the list and the map together. Open the network's own app for live status and pricing. Pair this page with the Charging Time Calculator if you need to know how long a DC session to 80 percent will take in your car, and with the EV Range Calculator if weather or speed will change whether the next pin is actually in range. The locator finds the station. Those two tools tell you whether you can use it on this trip.
EnterPlanet LLC does not operate charging stations and does not take a booking here. If a station you know is missing, it may not yet be in the federal dataset. That is a data lag, not a claim that the station does not exist. Confirm before you rely on a single pin.
