PlugSurfing operates a network of 277 public EV charging points across Germany, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Croatia, and Great Britain. The majority of its chargers deliver slower AC power, making it best suited for destination, workplace, or overnight charging rather than rapid top-ups on long journeys.
PlugSurfing's database shows 277 charging points in operation across six European countries: Germany (DE), Italy (IT), Ireland (IE), Switzerland (CH), Croatia (HR), and Great Britain (GB). The network is predominantly composed of slower AC chargers. Of the total points, 228 operate at speeds under 50 kW, typically using Type 2 connectors and suitable for charging while parked for extended periods, such as at work or overnight.
Only 5 points offer ultra-rapid charging at 150 kW or higher. A further 44 points provide rapid charging between 50 kW and 149 kW. This mix means PlugSurfing is not primarily designed for quick road trip stops.
Drivers will encounter several connector types. Type 2 sockets are common, alongside tethered Type 2 connectors. CCS (Type 2) and CHAdeMO connectors are also available at some locations. The busiest reported towns include Hannover with 41 points and Langenhagen and Lucan each with 11 points. For specific charging sessions, drivers should always check the price displayed on the charging unit or within the operator's app before connecting their vehicle.
