Can I see if a station is available before I get there?

Mobile application

The BC Hydro EV app indicates when BC Hydro stations are in use or available.

PlugShare

The PlugShare map and mobile app can be used to find information about the availability of all other charging stations.

This is an international crowd-sourced tool that’s updated by EV users who voluntarily contribute. Like any crowd-sourced tool, the information may sometimes be out-of-date, but users often indicate when a station is unavailable.

You don’t need to register to use PlugShare unless you’d like to check in at a charging station location and leave notes for others.
