Jaap BurgerNice to see these tools emerging, based on the mandatory public EV charging data sharing. Enabled by a technical detail of Europe’s charging regulation #AFIR, this delivers useable insights for EV drivers, who’ll hopefully vote with their 🔌

Two data sources are used: Ecomovement and Chargeprice. Both are companies whose business model is based on proprietary data collection. The European #AFIR regulation stipulates that EV charging point data should, in fact, be freely and openly available. Why has this not been utilised?
