UK EV Charge Points – Statutory Open Data (OCPI)

Get UK public EV charge points as a clean table: site, address, postcode, coordinates, EVSE ID, connector type, power (kW), live status and price per kWh. The data comes straight from operators' official open-data feeds, which the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 require them to publish free and without terms. There's no scraping of apps and no API key.

Who it's for

• Charging apps, fleet and route planners: refresh connector status and tariffs on a schedule.
• Property, retail and site-selection teams: map charger density and gaps by postcode.
• Local authorities, consultancies and researchers: track reliability (FAULTED / OUTOFORDER), on-street rollout and pricing.
• Competitor analysis for CPOs: see a rival network's footprint and pence-per-kWh pricing.

Built-in keyless feeds

• char.gy: about 6,000 on-street sites.
• Monta: UK public open data.

Bring your own feeds: some operators (Gridserve, InstaVolt, bp pulse, Shell Recharge and others via Eco-Movement) issue a free key on request. Add them under Extra OCPI feeds with your key, and the actor will normalise them into the same table. Your key is only used during your run.

Filters

Postcode prefixes (e.g. N15, M1), minimum power (e.g. 50 for rapid only), EVSE statuses, and max results.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.00 per 1,000 connector rows, plus a small $0.005 start fee per run. For example, a London-wide refresh of about 3,000 rows costs about $3.

Notes

• Statuses follow OCPI (AVAILABLE, CHARGING, FAULTED, OUTOFORDER, REMOVED…). Some feeds publish WORKING instead of live availability.
• Sites anonymised by the operator (typically residential) are skipped. No personal data is collected.
• Source data is published under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, reg. 10. Accuracy is the operator's responsibility.
