⚡ AFDC EV Charging Stations Scraper

Whether you're building an EV charging app, analyzing infrastructure coverage, or planning fleet electrification, this tool makes it easy to collect structured data on electric vehicle charging stations across the United States.

The AFDC EV Stations Scraper collects charging station data including station names, addresses, connector types, charging levels, networks, pricing, and access hours. Filter by US state.

What Does It Do

• 📍 Station locations - collect station names, full addresses, GPS coordinates, and intersection directions
• 🔌 Charger details - get Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charger counts with connector types (J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO, Tesla)
• 🌐 Network info - identify which network operates each station (ChargePoint, Tesla, EVgo, Electrify America, etc.)
• 💲 Pricing data - extract charging costs and pricing details for each station
• 🕐 Access info - see hours of operation, access codes, and which groups can use each station
• 📊 Station status - track open dates, last confirmed dates, and current operational status

Input

• State - select a US state to search for EV charging stations (all 50 states plus DC)
• Max Items - how many stations to collect (free users get 10 items, paid users up to 1,000,000)

{
    "state": "CA",
    "maxItems": 100
}
