aid: openchargemap name: Open Charge Map description: > Open Charge Map is the global public registry of electric vehicle charging locations, established in 2011 as a non-commercial, community-driven project. The platform maintains a crowdsourced dataset of 300,000+ charging points worldwide, combining manually entered data with imported open data from government registries and charging networks. The REST API enables developers to search and retrieve POI (Points of Interest) data on EV charging stations, including location details, equipment specifications, connection types, operator information, and user-submitted check-ins and photos. Data can be filtered by geographic coordinates, bounding box, country, operator, connection type, charging level, and operational status. The API is free to use with an API key registration and supports both read (GET) and write (POST) operations for contributing new charging location data. type: Index accessModel: pricing: free onboarding: self-serve trial: false try_now: true public: false label: Free · Self-serve signup confidence: high source: - plans - authentication generated: '2026-07-22' method: derived image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/icons/openchargemap.png url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/openchargemap/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-06-13' modified: '2026-06-13' specificationVersion: '0.23' tags: - Electric Vehicles - EV Charging - Charging Stations - Points of Interest - Open Data - Geospatial - Transportation - Clean Energy - Crowdsourced - Registry apis: - name: Open Charge Map POI API description: > Primary REST API for searching and retrieving EV charging station data (Points of Interest) from the Open Charge Map global registry.
