How to find and choose a public charging station while traveling?

Finding and choosing public chargers:

• Use charging apps: Apps like PlugShare, ChargePoint, Electrify America, EVgo, and Google Maps show locations, pricing, availability, and reviews.
• Check connector type and speed: Make sure the station supports your plug (CCS, NACS, CHAdeMO) and desired charging speed.
• Look for amenities: Some stations are near rest stops, restaurants, or shops for convenience during charging.
• Plan ahead: Use navigation or EV route planners to ensure coverage between stops.
• Access requirements: Some networks require apps or RFID cards — set these up in advance.
