Features and benefits
We've got charging covered

Charge point operators add new charging stations every day, but what matters to drivers is availability. A charger isn’t helpful if it’s occupied. TomTom delivers a definitive real-time view of EV charging availability worldwide, so our customers can build seamless EV experiences effortlessly.

Comprehensive global coverage

More than 2.3 million charge points mapped across 117 countries, out of which 1.4 million provide real-time data — that's what it takes to offer one of the most complete EV charging point databases in the world. With a growing catalogue of EV charge points, we make it easy for drivers to find a charging location that fits their needs.

Real-time charging station availability

TomTom integrates live information from CPOs with our road network data to provide up-to-the-minute insight into compatible, available charging stations, so drivers can see if charging points are free or in use before they head to a location.

All the details drivers need

Finding a charger is one thing. Knowing it's the right one is another. For every charging point, TomTom EV Data Service shows drivers the details that matter: payment options, supported eMSPs and CPOs, opening hours, Plug & Charge support and detour time for stops along the route, plus nearby shops, restrooms and more.

Flexible integration options

The TomTom EV Data Service comes fully integrated with TomTom Navigation for Automotive, as well as TomTom’s Search API and mapping solutions. You can also deploy it as an independent service for end-user devices or intermediate cloud endpoints.

Maximize charging efficiency with in-dash integration

With charging station data integrated into in-dash navigation, the EV’s navigation system can indicate to the vehicle when there is a fast-charging stop planned on the route. This enables the vehicle to prepare its battery for charging before arrival at a station, allowing for faster charging. In cold weather, that can mean saving up to 30 minutes on a typical 10% to 80% charging session.
