How can I find public electric car charge points?

I am looking to buy a Kia e-Niro 3. I live in the West of Scotland, near Paisley. I live in an apartment building so cannot have a home charger. How can I find all public charge points locally and beyond?

You can use online resources like zap-map.com to search for charge points in your area and for set routes. The risk you run with not being able to charge at home is that not all public charging points will necessarily be working. However, users do tend to report online when a charging point is out of service so you should still get an idea of reliable places near where you live to charge.
