charging points

Electric vehicle sockets

Charging points are locations where electric vehicles can be plugged in to recharge their batteries.

The term is more common in British English; Americans tend to say charging stations.

Public charging points appear in parking lots, shopping centers, and along highways: The app shows nearby charging points.

Home charging points are installed in garages or driveways.
