About this record
Source: the AFDC public station register. Availability changes faster than the register does, so treat port counts as the configured capacity rather than a live status — this record was last confirmed on 2026-08-28.
Port counts describe how the site is configured, not whether a given port is free right now. Check the operator's own app before setting out if you are relying on a specific charger.
