Charging map for electric boats
Where can I charge my electric boat? Only 12 stations in five countries are tagged in OpenStreetMap as charging points for boats: 6 in Great Britain, 3 in Germany, 2 in the Netherlands, 1 in Switzerland and none in Austria. Shore power in harbours is far more common. The map shows all three types, from dedicated chargers to marinas with power on the pontoon.

Green marks charging points for boats, blue shore power points tagged with the OpenStreetMap seamark scheme, grey marinas where OpenStreetMap records power on the pontoon. We have not checked the grey points: whether visitors may charge there and which socket fits is usually not recorded.

How many charging points are there in each country?
| Country | Charging point for boats | Shore power | Marina with power (unverified) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Britain | 6 | 7 | 46 |
| Netherlands | 2 | 24 | 90 |
| Germany | 3 | 90 | 253 |
| Austria | 0 | 4 | 9 |
| Switzerland | 1 | 0 | 44 |
Data as of 23 October 2026, counted from the OpenStreetMap extracts of the five countries. For comparison: Germany alone has 47,254 charging stations for cars in OpenStreetMap.
Where are the boat charging points?
- Great Britain: four posts with four CEE sockets each in Scotland (£8 for 24 hours) and two run by the Broads Authority on the Norfolk Broads with Schuko sockets.
- Netherlands: two stations, one with a Type 3 socket.
- Germany: one on Lake Constance with a Type 2 cable and 11 kW, two in northern Brandenburg with two CEE sockets and two Type 2 connectors of up to 22 kW each, contactless payment. All three charge a fee.
- Switzerland: one station, with no details on sockets or power.
All three German posts were added to OpenStreetMap only recently. We will update the map as new data comes in.
What do shore power and "marina with power" mean?
Shore power is a socket on the pontoon that supplies a boat in harbour. OpenStreetMap records it at 125 points in the five countries, mostly without a name. Marinas with power are harbours tagged with "power supply", 46 of them in Great Britain. Neither is fast charging: the output of the socket is almost never recorded.
How long charging takes depends on the battery. ePropulsion quotes 8.5 hours for the Spirit 1.0 with the standard charger and 3.5 hours with the fast charger. More in our electric outboard comparison.
A charging point is missing?
The map comes entirely from OpenStreetMap. If a charger or a harbour with power is missing, you can add it there yourself, and it will appear here with the next update. Map data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, licence ODbL.
