EV charging stations in Alaska

25 charging locations and 54 ports across 4 cities and towns, 14 of them DC fast.

Charging in Alaska

Alaska has very little public charging. Statewide there are only a couple of dozen locations, about half of them in Anchorage, with a handful in Juneau and just a few in Fairbanks. Eagle River shows none at all, and outside those towns you should not count on finding anything.

About a quarter of the ports are DC fast, so most stops are Level 2 and slow, better suited to charging overnight than topping up. ChargePoint and Tesla appear here, along with TurnOnGreen, FLO and AeroVironment units. Treat Anchorage as your base and plan every trip out of it around the range you leave with, plus a cold-weather margin.

On the road

The road network is short and mostly single-route. The Glenn and Parks Highways lead north from Anchorage toward Fairbanks, the Seward Highway heads south to the Kenai Peninsula, and the Richardson and Alaska Highways carry traffic east. There is no meaningful chain of fast charging along any of them, so long drives mean charging overnight at your destination. Juneau is not connected to the road network at all.

Plugs and payment

J1772 on Level 2 and CCS1 or NACS on the few DC fast units, with CHAdeMO on some older hardware. Carry your own portable cable. An RV pedestal or a hotel block-heater outlet is often the most reliable charge you will find, and a slow overnight charge is worth planning around.

Three things to know

Cold cuts range hard; assume noticeably less than the rated figure and precondition while still plugged in.
Book accommodation that can offer an outlet, and confirm it in advance rather than arriving and hoping.
Distances between towns exceed the network's reach, so treat each leg as out and back from a known charger.

Cities in Alaska

Towns smaller than 20,000 residents are not listed here, but the live map covers every public charger in Alaska: search for the town or allow location access.
