charging point

Electric vehicle hookup

A charging point is a location or device where electric vehicles or electronic devices can be recharged.

The term is used especially in British English for what Americans more often call a charging station.

Public charging points for electric vehicles are increasingly common in parking lots, shopping centers, and along highways.

There's a charging point just outside the hotel.
