charging stations
EV refueling spots
Charging stations are locations equipped to recharge electric vehicles or electronic devices.
For EVs, they range from home wall units to public fast-charging networks: We stopped at a charging station on the highway.
The term also applies to multi-device docks for phones and tablets.
As electric vehicles proliferate, charging station infrastructure has become a subject of policy debate.
