Where can you find EV charging stations in Stockholm?
Apps, maps and what the official tourism sites say.
Short answer
You find EV chargers in Stockholm with apps and maps such as ChargeFinder and PlugShare, or in an operator's app such as Vattenfall InCharge. Visit Stockholm reports around 9,500 charging stations across Greater Stockholm in 2024, and chargers are also found at shopping centres, hotels and public car parks.
Why
- Visit Sweden names the apps ChargeFinder and PlugShare, and says PlugShare provides a map of charging locations and user reviews.
- Visit Stockholm says there were around 9,500 charging stations across Greater Stockholm in 2024.
- Visit Sweden says public charging stations are available in cities, towns and along major highways, and shopping centres, hotels and public car parks also offer charging.
Details
Trafikverket says maps, web services and apps from different providers help with trip planning, and it links to ChargeFinder. In the Vattenfall InCharge app you choose a charging point on a map. Some charging is tied to a car brand or a particular operator, according to Trafikverket. For fuel stations that also offer charging, see fuel and charging stations in Stockholm, and for driving in the city see the congestion tax basics.
Tip
Choose a charger in the app and check that it is in operation and open to your car brand or payment method before you drive there.
What may differ
Availability and payment methods differ by operator and by car brand.
Common misconception
Any public charger works with any car and any payment method.
What actually happens
Trafikverket says payment methods can differ and that charging can be tied to a particular car brand or operator.
