How to Add Your EV Charging Station to Google and Apple Maps (Step-by-Step Guide)

‍

Why Add Your EV Charging Station to Google and Apple Maps?

‍

‍

Most EV drivers rely on their smartphones to find the nearest charging station. If your location isn’t listed—or the information is outdated—you’re invisible to thousands of potential customers. Appearing on Google Maps and Apple Maps means:

• More drivers can find and use your station.
• You build trust with accurate, real-time info.
• You increase revenue and maximize your investment.

‍

Step 1: Gather Your Station Information

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Station name and address
• GPS coordinates (optional but helpful)
• Business hours and access info
• Connector types and charging speeds
• Photos of the station and amenities

‍

Step 2: Add Your Station to Google Maps

Option A: Manual Submission

1. Go to Google Maps.
2. Search for your location to check if it’s already listed.
3. If not, right-click the exact spot and choose “Add a missing place.”
4. Fill in the details (name, address, category: “EV charging station”).
5. Submit and wait for Google’s verification.
