[Disclosure: I am the main developer of the Open Charge Map database, app and website, so I'm biased even though I try not to be :smile:] Hi folks, I have a general question about how people people about the current state of EV charging apps/sites: - What are the main challenges drivers...

Hi Guys, The Open Charge Map : The open, global database of electric vehicle charging locations homepage is just an intro to the project and has an example map using that data (aimed mainly at desktop/laptop use). As J-C mentioned above there is a web app at http://openchargemap.org/app which...

Should we start a new thread for discussion specifically about Open Charge Map or just keep using this thread?

Kevin, for twitter, the simple approach there would just be for us to show twitter feeds on each details page, listing tweets with a hash tag matching the location id, like #OCM-5870 for instance. That would work for recent tweets but guess they would be transient and would easily open to...

The new update has been submitted to the app store and should work on earlier versions of iOS now. The map view has been updated to fix some performance glitches. The app uses the same code on all platforms which makes it a little slower than equivalent apps built for a specific platform, if...

Well, the Open Charge Map iOS app finally made it to the Apple marketplace! There will be a few updates soon as the initial version is slightly behind the main web application and Android version by a few weeks. We'd appreciate users on Android or iOS giving it a try leaving comments on...

Erik, Further to your previous comments I've reorganised the OpenChargeMap.org : The open charging point database front page a little to emphasis the map. Regarding your comment about the site name, it's a list of charging locations (i.e. places you can charge your car) not chargers. Note...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the comments, I've added some of the NEMA connectors to the OCM database now and you can select these from the submission form. We're interested in hearing what you like about recargo etc, we've also asked if they can work with us on managing common data. I approached...

Thanks, as the lead developer of the openchargemap project and I can probably shed some light on the choices. OCM was originally not intended to be consumer facing, instead app developers etc would use our database and web services to provide fancy apps with added value. It's slowly become...

Hi, I'll jump in with an answer, I'm the lead developer of the openchargemap database. The short answer is that the current submission form is basic and only lets you specify one charger & connector type but if you add more details in the comments section we'll make sure it shows up with the...
