the charging network

We will tell you
what ismissing too.

Most apps show you stations and say nothing about the rest. Here you can see exactly how many stations we have, where they come from and what is still missing — so you know when to rely on us and when not to.

on the map

The colour tells you
how fast you will charge

Not all stations are alike. One “charger” might give you 240 kW in twenty minutes, or 3 kW overnight. So the marker carries the power before you have tapped anything.

Ultra-rapid · above 150 kW
Rapid · 50–150 kW
Slow · below 50 kW
Out of service

You can filter by your car's connector, by power, or by “free only”. The app knows your connector from the garage and arranges the map around it.

where the data comes from

Five sources,
different in kind

No single source covers Bulgaria on its own. So we use five and tell you what each one gives — including where one knows things another does not.

VoltSpot operator feed 46

Straight from the operator, over the OCPI standard. Our most complete source.

  • Availabilitylive — free, in use or faulty, for each charge point individually
  • Price at the operator's real tariff
  • Power and connectors for every charge point
  • The price is aroaming tariff — with the operator's own card you may pay less
Electrocharge operator feed 71

The Electrohold network. Small, but it says whether a station is free right now.

  • Availabilitylivefor the whole site
  • Reports no power or connectors — so those fields stay empty for these sites
FINES Charging operator feed 389

The largest network on our list. Fast chargers on the motorways and in the cities.

  • Power and connectors for every site
  • Many stations above 150 kW
  • We show no availability from it. Their public data carries a colour marker, which we checked against real occupancy: at 14 of 399 sites it showed green while the place was taken. One in twenty-seven is too many to send someone there
Eldrive operator feed 360

The big regional operator. It publishes where the stations are, but not what is happening at them.

  • Power and socket count
  • No status at all — their feed says only that the station exists
  • It says “DC” without naming the exact connector, so we do not claim your plug fits
Open Charge Map community database 40

A community database. It adds places no operator publishes — hotels, shops, private points.

  • Stations you would not find anywhere else
  • We show no availability from it. This source says “the site exists”, not “there is a free space right now”
  • Entries unverified for more than three years are not shown at all

When the same station appears in several sources we show it once and keep the one that knows most about it. That is why Open Charge Map dropped from 132 records to 40 — we already have the rest from the operators themselves, with better data.

plainly

What we still cannot do

The limits you should know about
  • 932 stations is not all of Bulgaria. There are operators we have no connection to yet. If your station is missing, tell us and we will go looking for it.
  • The price is a guide, not a bill. Tariffs change, and the roaming price is often higher than the one you get with the operator's own card.
  • You cannot start a charge from the app. That needs a contract with each operator — it is coming.
  • Availability is only as fresh as the operator makes it. If the station is taken a second after you looked, there is no way for us to know.

That is why the app never says “free” when it does not know. It says “unknown” — and that is deliberate. An empty field beats sending you to a station that is occupied.

coverage

Where there are most

The distribution follows the traffic — densest around the big cities and the motorways.

CityStations within 25 kmWith live availabilityNote
Sofia21798The densest coverage in the country
Plovdiv7031Second largest city
Burgas6128Summer traffic, heavier load
Varna4328The coast is more thinly covered
Ruse3122The Danube bridge — the way in from Romania
Bansko2114Mountain resort, important for winter tourism
Stara Zagora1810The junction between the two motorways
Veliko Tarnovo179On the north–south road
Pleven137The northern link
Blagoevgrad127On the route towards Greece

Counted from the same data the app reads, within 25 km of the city centre. Where “with live availability” is zero the stations exist, but no source says whether they are free right now — and the app writes “unknown” rather than guess.

Is a station missing?

The fastest way for this to improve is for you to tell us which one. Write to us with the station you use and where it is, and we will look into why we cannot see it.

How to write to us

Where they are — and where they are not

The same 932 stations the app shows. The blank areas are not a gap in the drawing; there really is nothing there in any of the five sources.
