What is TomTom's EV Search API?
EV Search is a REST API limited to and optimized for electric vehicle station POI category. It provides complete EV POI data including static location information (lat/long), address, opening hours, access restrictions, technical specs of the charging station (connector type, voltage, power, current, current type), etc. as well as dynamic availability status. Wide range of EV specific filters (including dynamic availability) allows for narrowing the search results to match the personal preference (like charging power or access type) of the driver or the technical specification of the electric vehicle (connector type).
The EV Search API currently consists of the following service endpoints.
EV Search Nearby
The EV Search Nearby endpoint provides complete static and dynamic data for up to 100 POIs in the specified radius, ordered by distance.
Ev Search by Id
The EV Search by Id endpoint provides complete static and dynamic data about 1 EV POI (charging park with 1 or more charging stations) for the given ID.
Getting Started
