Searchland now maps every public EV charging location in the UK, powered by Zapmap - so you can factor charging infrastructure into your site assessments from the moment you load the map.
For a growing number of teams, EV charging isn't a footnote on a site report - it's the reason for the site.
If you're sourcing sites for new chargepoints, you need to know where the gaps are and where it's already saturated. If you're assessing a residential or commercial development, the charging picture around it is now part of its appeal. And if you're advising on a scheme, local infrastructure is part of the planning story.
Until now, building that picture meant leaving Searchland, opening a separate map, and stitching the two together by hand.
Introducing the new EV Charging layer to Searchland
We've added a new map layer plotting every public EV charging location in the UK. Each charger sits at its exact location and is colour-coded by charging speed, with a legend so you can read a network at a glance:
- Slow
- Fast
- Rapid
- Ultra-rapid
Click any charger to open its detail window - network operator, number of connectors, connector types and power output, location type and live status. The depth of detail you'd expect from the source that actually powers the cars.
EV charging point location data - powered by Zapmap
This isn't scraped or estimated. Our EV charging data comes directly from Zapmap - the UK's industry standard for EV charging, and the biggest data source electric vehicles themselves use to locate chargers in real time.
If you work in this space, you already know Zapmap. It's the data drivers trust to find a charge - which makes it the data you can trust to assess a site.
Now live across the platform:
- 46,664 unique charging locations
- 94,217 unique charge points
- 126,549 unique connectors
And as always, we're the first PropTech platform to bring it in.
You'll find EV Charging in the same place as every other map layer - the Control Centre. Switch it on and chargers plot straight onto your map view, colour-coded by speed. Click any point to open its detail window and see the operator, connectors, power output, location type, live status and payment options.
Why it changes how you assess sites
The real power isn't the map - it's what happens when you combine it with the rest of Searchland.
Because EV charging is a layer like any other, it feeds straight into the sourcing tool. You can scout areas, exclude locations or home in on opportunities based on the chargers already there - exactly the kind of location due diligence that used to mean cross-referencing a separate map by hand.
For teams sourcing chargepoint sites, that means spotting underserved areas in seconds. For anyone running due diligence reports, sourcing searches or planning reports, it's one more layer of context that's already in the workflow - not bolted on at the end.
Who this is for
- Energy providers and EV charging operators - finding underserved areas and scouting sites for new infrastructure
- Developers and land sourcers - factoring nearby charging into site appeal and due diligence
- Commercial real estate and retail teams - reading the infrastructure around retail, logistics and roadside sites
- Planning consultants - building local infrastructure context into early-stage advice
How often is it updated?
The data comes straight from Zapmap and reflects the live national picture across England, Scotland, Wales and NI - the same source kept current for the millions of drivers who rely on it every day.
