Thanks for all you do @ supercharge.info. The majority of our Supercharger data in the WattsUp app comes from your site.As a supercharge.info editor and part of the dev team I just wanted to comment on this.
Synchronising the data is not easy as Tesla has multiple different sources of the supercharger data. Tesla supercharger map Web site, Tesla supercharger find us page, tesla supercharger API, in car supercharger data, tesla app supercharger data, etc. These can and often are all be different (shockingly bad from tesla as we all think as a world leading technology company) and some are more easy time to synchronise with than others. There is no simple 'synchronise' the data solution.
There are nearly 6000 locations now and data is sometimes wrong there. We rely on user corrections to inform us of these.
As you'll know, there is UK legislation that public chargepoint operators such as Tesla (running a network of open sites), will have to provide live, dynamic data. This statutory instrument mandates availability by exactly one year after the regulations come into force (24th November 2023).
It will mean better data for you, us, and everyone else who wants to see improved information for EV drivers!
