1. A method of identifying charging options for a user, the method comprising:
receiving a charging station query including one or more parameters;
accessing a charging station database, the charging station database storing connector codes identifying a connector type and a connector power level for charging connectors provided at a plurality of charging stations;
comparing the one or more parameters of the charging station query to the connector codes of the charging station database to identify a first subset of the plurality of charging stations that fit the one or more parameters of the charging station query;
determining additional parameters including one or more targeted connector codes associated with a charging connector adapter for an electric vehicle;
identifying a second subset of the plurality of charging stations that fit the additional parameters using the additional targeted connector codes as a search key;
transmitting mapping data for the first subset of the plurality of charging stations to a client device; and
transmitting additional mapping data for the second subset of the plurality of charging stations to the client device responsive to receiving an indication of user input requesting a view of charging stations that are compatible with the charging connector adapter.
