Electric vehicles
Every public charger in the country, city by city: where to plug in, with which plug, at what power, and what it costs when the network publishes it.

The plugs
Four plugs share Canada's public chargers. Check your car's: an adapter can open up other chargers.
Fast charging · direct current
The fast-charging plug of most recent electric cars: a J1772 plug with two large direct-current pins underneath.
On 2,652 chargers in Canada
Fast or Level 2
Tesla's plug, now the North American standard: more and more automakers are adopting it. Some Tesla chargers are open to every brand, others are not: check access on the charger's page.
On 1,098 chargers in Canada
Fast charging · direct current
The older Japanese fast-charging plug (the Nissan Leaf, for example). It is becoming rarer on new chargers.
On 1,879 chargers in Canada

On 11,666 chargers in Canada
Level 2 or fast charging?
Alternating current · about 3 to 19 kW
The everyday charger: at work, at the grocery store, at a restaurant, at the hotel. Allow several hours for a good charge: it is made for plugging in while you do something else.
12,124 Level 2 chargers in Canada.
Direct current · 50 kW and up, as high as 350 kW
For the road: in roughly twenty minutes to an hour, depending on the car, the battery and the cold, you get a good part of your range back.
2,965 fast chargers in Canada, with a median power of 100 kW.
The power shown is the charger's: your car may accept less.
No open source publishes charger occupancy in real time. Gazo shows you where chargers are, their plugs, their power and their rate when it is published, but not whether someone is already plugged in. Only the "temporarily out of service" status reported by Natural Resources Canada is shown, with its date.
Gazo shows the rate when the network publishes it (Circuit électrique publishes its own), otherwise the source's rate text, and "Free" when the source says so. Gazo never makes up an amount.
The networks
Chargers per network, out of the 15,763 public chargers in Canada.
2,005 chargers belong to no network.
In the Gazo app
In Gazo, tap "Charging" next to Regular, Premium and Diesel: the chargers around you appear on the list and on the map, with their plugs and power.
Free, like the rest of the app: charging mode is not part of Gazo+.
Gazo
Gazo lists 15,763 public EV charging stations in Canada, including 2,965 fast chargers, for 42,982 charging ports, across 12 provinces and territories. The most common networks: ChargePoint, FLO, Circuit électrique. Sources: Natural Resources Canada, Circuit électrique and OpenStreetMap, updated daily.
No. No open source publishes charger occupancy in real time: Gazo shows you where chargers are, their plugs, their power and their rate when it is published, but not whether someone is already plugged in. Only the "temporarily out of service" status reported by Natural Resources Canada is shown, with its date. For occupancy, the network's own app remains the reference.
Yes: 1,306 of the 15,763 public chargers are free according to their source. Each charger page says whether it is free or paid when the source says so, with the rate if it is published. On site, paid parking may apply.
For Level 2, almost every electric car plugs into a J1772 (Teslas with their adapter). For fast charging, most recent cars use CCS; Tesla and a growing number of automakers use NACS; a few older models, CHAdeMO. In the app, filter chargers by plug.
No. Charging mode is free, like the gas search: list, map, charger pages and "Go". Gazo+ only removes ads and adds extras for gas.
Free, iPhone and Android
