Operate a charging network? Promote your network to drivers for free via the 1000s of apps and services that use Open Charge Map Data.
Just send us the details for an OCPI locations data feed and allow us to redistribute the data:

Reading about @wevoltau gaining $2m investment (like @plugshare but you can require a fee for sharing your charger). Great to see another EV platform emerging from Perth.
I look after the openchargemap.org project, which is the largest EV Open Data set in the world.
Thank you Roland. We have used a couple of these sources (France and UK mainly). They have a fragmented data schema, the requirement for data cleanup is very high and some of the imports are non-repeatable. Google probably do manage OK.
We would be happy to come to an arrangement where OCM could be managed by the charging network industry via their own foundation etc.
We serve millions of queries per month, but it needs to be up to the industry to ensure accuracy and completeness as they are a beneficiary.
No. There are currently no major networks feeding us data via OCPI, so we still rely on users manually entering data, which could of course be inaccurate.
OCM are not going to enter into individual legal agreements with networks, because there are several thousand globally.
Hi Zoe, account has now been deleted. Was this just a general cleanup of an unnecessary account or did anything related to Open Charge Map prompt it?
Of the 143K visitors per month to our API, many of those are in fact other services which go on to share our data with hundreds of thousands more people.
There is no downside to sharing your charging network location data with us, except more customers.
In the last 30 days our database API served 3.2 million queries to 143K people.
OCM is free advertising for charging networks. Promote your EV charging network using Open Charge Map by sharing data with us: openchargemap.org/site/about…
Any charging network (data owner) can now submit a open data sharing agreement to us via: openchargemap.org/site/about…
We accept OCPI feeds but can also accept other standards.
Profound thanks to Microsoft for granting Open Charge Map a large helping of Azure Credits. This will help us ran faster services for several months!
Announcement: Get Azure credits for your open source projects! Learn more on the blog: msft.it/6014X985s #OpenSource
Hi Dimitri, thanks for using our service. We are currently not updating the static list of apps because we intend to switch to a directory listing based on app key registrations. There are currently over 1100 registered "apps" with 166 enabled for public listing.

The @open_charge_map integration and many smaller improvements are now available for all users in version 0.8.4 of EVMap! 🚙⚡
A new update to 0.8.0 is coming to our beta channel with initial support for @open_charge_map as an alternative data source - especially useful for users outside Europe where GoingElectric.de only has few chargers. Register for the Beta at play.google.com/apps/testing… ⚡
Competitors in the Data Pipeline Word Championship can choose to use the Open Charge Map API for their submission datapipelinewc.com/ @xplenty - Check it out! #datapipelines #ETL #data
There are currently over 390 apps, services and projects using the Open Charge Map API to get charging equipment locations and related information.

We are excited to announce that @open_charge_map , the provider of open worldwide POI data, has joined forces with the Share&Charge Foundation to provide easy access to open POI data over the Open Charging Network. Follow the link to find out more!

@evtripping - you need to update your http User Agent that your server uses when querying the OCM API (Cloudflare blocks the generic python UA) and you need to use an API key if you're not using one already: community.openchargemap.org/…
This is a cool @tableau visualisation of Open Charge Map data, we should add something like this on our site! hughsheehy.com/reading/world…
