Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries does the EV charging stations API cover?

The API covers the European EV roaming network with around 54,000 physical charging locations, strongest in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia. The dataset refreshes monthly.

How does the charging station search work?

You pass a latitude and longitude, and the API returns the nearest charging locations sorted by distance — up to 10 within a radius of up to 50 km. Optional filters narrow results by connector type (Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO), minimum charging power in kW, and operator name.

What information is returned for each charging station?

Each result is a physical location with its name, operator(s), coordinates, straight-line distance, full address, and a per-connector-type summary: maximum charging power, lowest known price per kWh in EUR, parking price, free parking duration, and the number of charge points. Multiple charge points at the same site are grouped into one result.

Are the distances driving distances?

No — distances are great-circle (straight-line) distances from your search point, which is standard for radius searches. The actual driving route will be somewhat longer.

Is there a free tier for the EV charging stations API?

Yes. The free plan includes 100 API requests per month across all endpoints, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at €29/month for 5,000 requests.
