charging station
EV power point
A charging station is a place where electric vehicles receive power to recharge their batteries, analogous to a gas station for combustion engines.
The term also applies to devices that charge phones, laptops, or other electronics: There's a charging station in the airport lounge.
Public charging stations for EVs are increasingly common infrastructure.
