What is on the map

  • The public locations of the operators Plugchoice roams with, as they publish them over OCPI, when they have coordinates.
  • Chargers on Plugchoice whose owners opened them to roaming with a price, at locations with coordinates.
Chargers an operator removed are left out. A location’s id is remote-… for an operator’s location and site-… for one on Plugchoice. Treat it as an opaque string.

​
Statuses

A tile counts each connector by its charger’s (EVSE’s) status, in three groups: A location’s detail has each EVSE’s own status and status_since.

​
Power

A pin’s power_types are AC, DC or both, from its connectors. max_power_kw is the most powerful connector’s kW: what the operator gives as its maximum power, or else its voltage times its current (times the phases for AC). It is what the connector can deliver. A car may charge slower.

​
Prices

price_per_kwh on a pin is in euros per kWh, before VAT, from the tariff in effect now in the location’s own time zone. A tariff can differ by time of day, by day and by power. The pin has the lowest price of its connectors. It is null when the location has no price per kWh, or only one in another currency. This is the price the operator publishes to roaming partners. A driver pays what their charge card’s provider charges, which can add its own fees and VAT. Show it as an indication. A location’s detail has its tariffs as the operator publishes them, by id: OCPI 2.2.1 tariffs with every element, price component and restriction, so you can show a time or parking fee too. prices_include_vat is always false. A price component’s vat is the percentage on top, when the operator gives it.

​
Occupancy

Plugchoice samples every location’s connectors every 5 minutes and keeps twelve weeks of the sums. From that, once a location has two weeks of history, its detail has:
  • occupancy: 7 days, Monday first, of 24 hours in the location’s own time zone. Each hour is the share of its working connectors that were occupied, from 0 to 1, or null for an hour without data.
  • out_of_order_ratio_30d: the share of the last 30 days its connectors were out of order, from 0 to 1.
Before two weeks both are missing from the answer. The samples count connectors and keep nothing about who charged.
