Want more EV drivers at your charging station? Learn how to add your EV charging station to Google Maps, and discover how Mobal and Eco-Movement—the leading platform for EV charging station data—can automate and optimize your listings for maximum visibility and revenue.

‍

1. Create or Log in to Your Google Business Profile

You can’t show up on Google Maps without a Google Business Profile (GBP).

• Don’t have one? Sign up free.
• Already manage a business? Log in with your Google account.

‍

Pro tip: Managing more than one location? Mobal lets you update, optimize, and monitor all your stations from one dashboard—no manual work, no missed reviews.

‍

2. Set Up Your EV Charging Station Profile

• Business name: Use your brand or site name + “EV Charging Station.”
• Address, phone, website: Fill in every field.
• Category: Select “Electric Vehicle Charging Station.”
• Add secondary categories if relevant (e.g., “Parking Garage”).

‍

3. Automate POI Creation and Live Data with Eco-Movement

Save time and ensure accuracy:
Through Mobal’s partnership with Eco-Movement—the leading platform for EV charging station data—CPOs can automatically create and update Points of Interest (POIs) for their charging stations on Google Maps and other platforms.

• Automatic POI creation: No more manual entry—your stations appear where drivers are searching.
• Live data: Share real-time availability, connector types, and status updates directly from your backend.
• Stay ahead: Accurate, up-to-date listings mean more drivers and fewer missed opportunities.

‍

4. Verify Your EV Charging Location

Google wants to keep out spam. You’ll need to verify your business by:

• Postcard (code mailed to your station)
• Phone call or SMS
• Email (sometimes)

‍

Once verified, you can unlock all editing and optimization features.

5. Add Charging Details

Drivers want specifics. Add:

• Charging types (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast Charging)
• Connector types (CCS, CHAdeMO, Tesla, etc.)
• Number of ports
• Power output (kW)
• Amenities (parking, Wi-Fi, restrooms, food)

The more details, the more likely you’ll show up in search—especially as Google and AI assistants get smarter.

‍

6. Upload High-Quality Photos

Photos build trust and help drivers find your station. Include:

• Charging stations and parking spaces
• Clear signage or branding
• Night lighting and security features
• Nearby amenities (cafés, shops)

‍

7. Optimize Your Description with SEO

Use keywords drivers actually search:

• “EV charging station in [City]”
• “Fast EV charging near [landmark]”
• “24/7 electric car charger”

‍

Example:
“Our EV charging station in downtown Berlin offers 4 DC fast chargers (150 kW) with CCS and CHAdeMO connectors. Located next to [landmark], open 24/7, with restrooms and Wi-Fi available.”
