OpenChargeMap is the open-data registry of EV charging stations integrated into modern taxi dispatch software for EV fleet range-aware dispatch. Provides station locations, connector types, availability status, and operator metadata.
OpenChargeMap — extended explanation
OpenChargeMap is the structural backbone of EV range-aware dispatch in modern taxi software. The open-data registry covers UK + Ireland EV charging infrastructure with station locations, connector types (CHAdeMO, CCS, Type 2, Tesla Supercharger), availability status, charging speed (3-7 kW workplace, 50-150 kW DC fast), and operator metadata. Modern dispatch software like TaxiCloud integrates OpenChargeMap to bias EV bookings to within battery range plus charging-station availability — preventing dead-range incidents structurally.
