Chapel Hill’s EV Charging Stations: A Guide for Electric Vehicle Owners

If you have an electric vehicle (EV) and live in Chapel Hill, you have lots of charging options for your vehicle. While Chapel Hill is the smallest of the big three NC-Triangle cities, it still offers a wide variety of conveniently located Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging stations. As you try to find EV charging stations in Chapel Hill, take a moment to check out our guide to EV charging stations in the city and a directory of the publicly available charging stations.

Chapel Hill’s EV Charging Landscape: An Overview

Chapel Hill is very EV-friendly, with many EV charging stations available for public use. If you’re considering purchasing an EV in the Triangle, review our answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about EV charging stations in Chapel Hill below:

How Many Public EV Charging Stations Are There in Chapel Hill?

According to ChargeHub, Chapel Hill has 81 public charging station ports that are located within 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) of the city.

How Many Level 2 Versus Level 3 Charging Stations Are There in Chapel Hill?

If you’re looking for a charging station, Level 2 chargers are more common, with these stations using alternating current power. In contrast, Level 3 charging stations use direct current power. Since Level 3 chargers offer much faster charging times, they’re often located near highways, while Level 2 chargers are placed in locations where drivers typically won’t need a super fast charge. 

ChargeHub states that Chapel Hill has 71 Level 2 stations (representing 88% of all public charging stations) and 10 Level 3 stations (representing 12% of all public charging stations). However, these numbers are likely outdated, as more companies, the University of North Carolina, and the city continue to invest in charging stations. 

How Many Free Charging Options Are There in Chapel Hill?

ChargeHub states there are 33 free charging stations in Chapel Hill, making up 41% of the available charging stations in the city. 

What Are the Main EV Charging Networks in Chapel Hill?

Like gas stations, you might prefer a specific brand of charging station. Fortunately, you can find many options in the Chapel Hill area. For example, ChargePoint, Tesla, and Blink are all charging networks that have charging stations in Chapel Hill.
