How our data works

Booking sites get charging wrong often enough that we don't take it from them. Every charger here is mapped from a public registry and tied to the property itself.

01
Mapped from public data

National charger registries, filtered to hotels, are the backbone of every listing.

02
Matched station to property

A charger counts only when it sits at the hotel: within 60 metres, or 150 with a matching name.

03
Date-stamped

Every listing shows the month we last updated it. Anything unconfirmed is left off, never guessed.
