Tips for cheap charging in Portland

Portland's Old Port has narrow streets and paid parking, so the best charging deals are usually at Level 2 stations where you would park anyway for dinner or a walk along the waterfront. Check the parking fee as well as the charging price.

Summer is peak season, and cruise ships, tourists and ferries to the Casco Bay islands make downtown parking much harder from June through October. Charge early in the day or outside the peninsula.

Portland sits on the Maine Turnpike and I-295, the main route up the coast. If you are heading north toward Bangor or Down East, top up here and compare per-kWh prices before you go.

Maine winters are long and cold, which cuts range and slows fast charging. Plugging in at home overnight, or at a Level 2 station near work, is the cheapest way to keep a warm, full battery.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I charge my EV for free in Portland?

Why do some stations say "Price not listed"?

We only show prices that the station owner or network has published to the U.S. Department of Energy. When no price is published, we don't guess. Open the network's app to see the current rate.

How often is this list updated?

City pages check the cached Department of Energy data when visited and request a refresh if it is more than 24 hours old. If the data service is unavailable, older cached details may remain visible.
