## What is ChargeFinder?

Find charging stations and get information about charging speed, current prices and availability in real time. Live charger status is displayed for all major networks in Scandinavia and several in rest of Europe. In one place you can now see if a charger is idle, busy or out of order regardless of operator. Tips on nearby eateries and other things that can be good to know about the specific place are of course also available.

On the map, it is easy to get a quick overview of which chargers are available. Different colors of map pins show charging speed and with the map filter it is easy to customize the type of charger you want to see.

The route planner is a tool for finding fast chargers along a specific route. Enter your criteria for the route and ChargeFinder calculates an optimal route, shows distances to the stations, indicates the length of the detour and presents everything in a clear format.

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-07-15*

Ein MUSS für jeden der auf Reisen fährt!!!

### 5/5 — Gute Übersicht und Preisangaben

*2026-06-21*

Wir haben die app schon öfter genutzt.
Es gibt schnell Preisübersichten und gute Voelfalt

### 4/5 — Early Days!

*2026-06-18, version 3.2.0*

The app offers some good insights, although the proof of the pudding will be testing it in the Lake District within the next couple of days. Fingers crossed…….!

### 1/5 — Login nur mit sicheren Anbietern

*2026-06-15*

Login nicht über Mailadresse sondern nur über sichere und seröse Anbieter wie Google, Facebook und Apple. 🤣
Haben viel gelacht hier. 😂😂😂

### 3/5 — mit carplay und google maps nutzlos

*2026-06-05*

wenn ich Apple CarPlay verwende und mit Google Maps Route, dann wird mir in ChargeFinder kein einziger Lade Punkt angezeigt. Somit ist die App für mich vollkommen nutzlos. Ich frag mich immer, wer so etwas programmiert. Nicht empfehlenswert.
Nachtrag: Es sieht so aus, dass man eine sehr gute Internet Verbindung benötigt, damit die App die Daten lädt. Dann funktioniert es. Die Daten, wo sich welche Ladestation befindet sollten auch offline verfügbar sein. Auf meinem Weg von Kroatien nach Norddeutschland hatte ich des Öfteren keine Verbindung zum Internet und damit keine Daten. Bin nun von 1 Stern vorher auf 3 hochgegangen.

### 4/5 — Needs to “talk”

*2026-04-29, version 3.0.4*

I like the app so far, but I cannot seem to get it to share data between my iPhone and my MacBook. Is it just me?!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-11, version 3.0.4*

Very good

### 4/5 — Super aktuell

*2026-03-11*

Müsste noch für Wohnmobile und LKW gekennzeichnet werden die ladestation 👍🏽

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-02-26, version 3.0.3*

This is the best app I have found now for showing all stations and their details. It is definitely better than PlugShare. If it doesn’t have real data on availability, it still shows that the chargers are there. Fast. Easy. Nice interface.

### 5/5 — Enjoyed the app and charging

*2025-11-13, version 3.0.3*

Good price and nice locations, easy to use application, recommended🤌
