Tips for cheap charging in Cincinnati

Cincinnati's chargers cluster around downtown, The Banks, Over-the-Rhine and the University of Cincinnati. Many are in garages, so a free plug can still come with a parking fee.

Northern Kentucky towns like Covington and Newport sit just across the river. If you are searching for a cheap or free charger, check both sides of the Ohio River.

Reds and Bengals game days crowd the riverfront garages. Charge before you head downtown or pick a station uphill in another neighborhood.

Cincinnati is hilly, and climbing in and out of the river valley uses more energy than flat driving. If you are low, charge before heading up steep routes rather than after.

How much does fast charging cost in Cincinnati?

The data currently available on this page lists 22 DC fast stations in Cincinnati, without a published per-kWh price. Check the network's app for current rates before charging.

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.
