EV charging data

EV charging data describes public and semi-public charging infrastructure and how it is used. Charge point operators, automakers, navigation apps, utilities, fleet operators, retailers and investors use it to plan networks, route drivers, forecast grid load and analyze competition.

Typical fields

• Station ID, operator and network
• Location, address and access type
• Connector types and number of charge points
• Power rating per connector
• Tariffs and payment methods
• Real-time status: available, occupied or out of service
• Aggregated usage statistics such as sessions and occupancy

Sources and collection

Data comes from operator feeds using open protocols, national access-point registries where governments require publication, roaming platforms, and field or crowd verification. Usage statistics are derived from status histories or operator data and should be aggregated, not tied to individual vehicles.

Delivery and pricing

Delivered as location files, lookup APIs and real-time status APIs. Pricing depends on geography, whether live status and tariffs are included, history of usage statistics, and display rights in consumer apps.

Before you buy

• Check coverage by country and operator, including smaller networks.
• Ask how often locations are verified and decommissioned sites removed.
• Confirm the source and latency of real-time availability.
• Check whether tariffs are kept current and in which currency.
• Review whether you may show the data to drivers in your own app.
