About this record

Details are drawn from the federal alternative-fuel station register (station ID 346724). The register records what operators report; it does not verify whether individual ports are working right now.

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.
