EV Charging Station Scraper 🔌

Pull EV charging stations for any place or bounding box worldwide — from OpenStreetMap. No API key, no proxy.

Give it a place name (or an exact bounding box) and get every EV charging station in the area with the details that matter: operator/network, connector (socket) types, number of connectors, power, access, fee, and precise location.

Perfect for EV apps & route planners, charge-point operators, market/coverage analysis, real-estate & fleet planning, and mapping products.

Uses OpenStreetMap's free Overpass + Nominatim APIs — global coverage, no key, no login.

Features

• ✅ No API key, no proxy — open OpenStreetMap data.
• ✅ Global — any city, region or bounding box on Earth.
• ✅ Connector detail — Type 2, CCS (type2_combo), CHAdeMO, Tesla, etc., with counts.
• ✅ Rich attributes — operator, network, capacity, power, access, fee, opening hours, address.
• ✅ Filters — by operator/network and by connector type.

Input

Field	Description
Place	A place name (geocoded to a bounding box), e.g. Amsterdam, Berlin, California.
Bounding box	Or an exact area: minLat / minLon / maxLat / maxLon.
Include ways/areas	Also include stations mapped as areas (not just points).
Operator contains	Filter by operator/network, e.g. Tesla, Ionity.
Socket type	Only stations with a connector, e.g. type2, type2_combo, chademo.
Max results	Cap on stations.

Example — all stations in a city

{
  "place": "Amsterdam"
}

Example — CCS fast chargers in an area

{
  "place": "Bavaria",
  "socketType": "type2_combo"
}

Run it on a schedule

Re-run for your regions to keep a charging-station database fresh — pipe to a map, database or webhook.

Notes & limitations

• Data comes from OpenStreetMap (community-mapped) — coverage and tag completeness vary by region; some stations lack operator/power tags.
• Very large areas can be slow or hit Overpass limits — scope with a tighter place/bbox or maxResults.
• Data source: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Attribution required when redistributing.
