What We Share

​

We publish the following data for all publicly accessible EV Smart charge points:

Reference Data (static information):

• Charge point location and identifiers

• Connector types and power ratings

• Payment methods accepted (e.g. RFID, contactless, app-based)

• Tariff rates (in pence per kWh)

• Scheduled hours of operation or known unavailability

Availability Data (real-time status):

• Whether a charge point is available, charging, or reserved

• Status changes updated in real time across connected platforms

• Data integrity supported by live network monitoring

This information is published using the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) standard and is integrated with leading mapping and EV routing services, including Zapmap and Google Maps, so EV drivers and third parties can reliably access live charge point data.
