Tesla is perhaps the world's most popular electric car manufacturer. It offers four EV models, namely the Model Y, Model X, Model S, and Model 3. With so many car options, finding the one that works for you is easy. However, there is lots of hesitation around buying electric cars, and the primary reason for that is probably range anxiety. Many people fear that their electric car won't be able to get them to their destination without its battery running out of charge.
As a response, Tesla included long-range batteries in their cars, as well as built a wide network of Tesla charging stations. This means you can stay charged anywhere you go with access to Tesla's charging stations, as they're located in convenient locations along well-traveled routes across the country.

How To Find EV Charging Stations
If you suddenly find yourself with a quickly depleting battery, and a vehicle that needs around 40 minutes of charging before you can get back on the road, it pays to be able to find an electric car charging station as soon as you can. Here's how you can track down and find an EV charging station near you:
Use Your EV's Navigational Software
An electric car is a very modern vehicle, and with that comes a range of advanced features. Among these high-tech features is the infotainment display, which has navigational software. The software can point you toward EV charging stations near you. All you need to do is to search for them as you would a convenience store, a gas station, or some other landmark. Some more advanced EVs can also account for battery levels and will divert you automatically to a compatible charging station mid-drive.
Use an EV Charging Station Finder App
Although services such as Apple Maps and Google Maps can help you find a charging station for your electric car, the information is often far from comprehensive. These kinds of mobile applications will work in a pinch, but the information may be incomplete or not up to date. Thus, you're better off installing a separate application specifically designed to help you find an EV charging station.
Here are some of the most popular EV charging station finder apps:
PlugShare
PlugShare is a free EV driver application for Android, iOS, and the web, allowing you to find charging stations near you, leave reviews, and connect with other plug-in EV drivers. It comes with a complete and accurate worldwide public EV charging map, with charging stations from every major network in Europe, North America, and throughout much of the globe.
ChargeHub
ChargeHub is a platform that aggregates all the EV charging stations in Canada and the U.S. in one place. It helps you find an EV charging station, plan your trips, and interact with the community. With ChargeHub, you can find a Level 2 or 3 EV charging station in just a few clicks.
