地圖左邊將出現充電站的列表，包含完整的地點、地址、電話，甚至充電站的廠牌。
在歐洲，Google地圖在倫敦，巴黎，馬德里，羅馬，柏林，斯德哥爾摩及其他許多城市皆有標示充電站所在位置。
Google策略夥伴發展小組的欣西亞‧楊 (Cynthia Yeung)在該公司的部落格寫到：「我們希望可以繼續在Google地圖上增加更多的充電站。所以對於美國再生能源實驗室正努力增加更多數據，感到興奮。」
隸屬於美國再生能源實驗室的替代能源及先進車輛數據中心，旗下共有近7千個替代燃料補及站，其中超過6百個電動車供應設備點。
點擊以Google地圖呈現的替代燃料站位置。爲了發展一個詳細且正確的電動車充電站資料庫，美國再生能源實驗室發起了名為GeoEVSE的論壇。楊寫到：「我們將會在Google地圖上增加更多的充電站位置，以作為他們的資料庫，也將更新其他資料。」
替代燃料站同時可依州別和替代燃料種類，提供充電站定位。這些能源種類包含壓縮天然氣(CNG)、85%的乙醇(E85)、液化石油氣(LPG)、電力(ELEC)、生化柴油(BD)、氫氣(HY)和液化天然氣(LNG)。而新的電動車充電站定位資訊，將可透過智慧型手機查詢。
使用iPhone的駕駛人可使用應用程式PlugShare，去定位充電站位置並確認是否客滿。這個社群網絡提供了所有公共充電站最新列表，包含了支援哪些最新型的電動車。
在另一個新的計畫中，使用Google地圖的電動汽車站，可讓社群成員可以增加及編輯充電站地點，並可增加照片、時間、電話號碼及使用者意見，就像使用維基百科一樣。
Charging up electric vehicles on the road is easier and more convenient now that Google has started adding charging station locations to the Google Maps platform.
In the United States, there are over 600 charging stations. To locate the ones near you or in a location you are heading for in your electric car, just search on Google Maps for "ev charging station" plus the appropriate area, for example, "ev charging station near Mountain View, CA."
A list comes up in the viewing pane to the left of the map complete with the name of the charging station's location, the address and phone number, and sometimes even the brand of charging station at that location.
In Europe, the Google Maps charging station locator works in London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, and Stockholm and many other cities too, no doubt.
"We'd like to continue adding more charging stations to Google Maps, so we're excited that our friends over at the the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory are working to make more data available," writes Cynthia Yeung of the Google Strategic Partner Development Team on the company's Lat Long Blog.
The Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center at the National Renewable Energy Lab contains the locations of nearly 7,000 alternative fueling stations, including over 600 locations of electric vehicle supply equipment, EVSE.
Click here for the Alternative Fueling Station Locator, which uses Google Maps. The National Renewable Energy Lab has launched the GeoEVSE Forum to help develop a detailed, accurate database of electric vehicle charging stations, writes Yeung. "We'll be adding more EV charging locations to Google Maps as their database, and others, are updated."
The Alternative Fueling Station Locator also provides station locations and counts by state and fuel type for other alternative fuels: CNG-Compressed Natural Gas, E85-85% Ethanol, LPG-Propane, ELEC-Electric, BD-Biodiesel, HY-Hydrogen and LNG-Liquefied Natural Gas. The new EV charging station locator will be accessible by smartphone.
EV drivers with iPhones can locate charging stations and check their availability with a new app called PlugShare. This community-powered electric vehicle charging network provides an up-to-date listing of all public charging stations compatible with the newest generation of electric vehicles.
Another new project, Electric Car Stations which also uses Google Maps, is like a wiki, allowing community members to add and edit charging station locations and add photos, hours, phone numbers, and user comments to listings.
