What "free" means on this page
These are public locations whose operator lists the price as free in the U.S. Department of
Energy database. Where the listing adds a condition — customers only, hotel guests, a time limit,
a parking fee — we print it word for word in the Price column. Free chargers are mostly Level 2:
good for topping up while you eat, shop or sleep, not for a quick stop. Prices and access change
without notice, so check the network's app or call ahead before you rely on one.
The free listings in Alabama come mostly from Tesla Destination (42), independent non-networked chargers (22), Blink Network (6). Where the listing names the venue, the most common are hotels (19), car dealerships (13), college campuses (5).

Why so many free chargers are Tesla-only
A large share of free listings are Tesla Destination chargers: wall units that hotels, restaurants and wineries install for their customers. Many are set to accept Teslas only, and the listing says so. Those are marked Teslas only below and are not counted as usable by other EVs. A Tesla-plug charger that is not restricted can serve another EV with a Tesla-to-J1772 adapter, but we still do not count it as "works with any EV", because most drivers do not carry one.
