JaXX Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi all ! It has been said that most charge point data comes from crowdsourced origins, but as open data takes off, event though they can sometimes have hiccups, they tend to be less off over time. In France, we have the special case of Izivia (formerly know as Corridoor) a subsidiary branch of the formerly state-owned electric company. They have closed 189 out of 217 HPC points after two cases of flaming EVTronic stations (I lived next to a third one that was right next to my building that went on fire a while back), they’re still in a blaming war on who’ at fault But some still show up on the map, and many have been duplicated with slight variations each time (sometimes making it hard to ignore via the Avoid or Prefer functions) (For example, you can look up the stations around the highway east of Beziers, France, two markers west-bound instead of one marked as dead, one supposed to be up east bound, though it’s dead / and If I use the Avoid Izivia function, I miss the charger at “maison de pays de l’aubois“ which has a functional DBT station) By law, in France, all publicly-accessible charge points have to be published and kept up to date https://www.data.gouv.fr/en/datasets/fichier-consolide-des-bornes-de-recharge-pour-vehicules-electriques/ But, ABRP is getting some traction, you don’t have your own charging/roaming card (yet?), but you might be allowed to sign a contract with GIREVE (gireve.com) to access their API (it seems to be SOAP like in the old days ) and get live info anyways (from what I gather, if you operate charging points it’s free, paid if not, I just can’t tell you how much) Or work with the guys at Chargemap who has access (they might be your competition, but you have an amazing planner, and they have a roaming card and contract with GIREVE), I love you both! JaXX (too many parentheses? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjg222 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Jason put up a blog post over the weekend with some info about where the charger data comes from if you're interested in taking the time to edit some of the open sources. There's also a handy letter or tweet you can copy and paste to send to networks in hopes that they might be willing to open up an API for getting real time data that might be more authoritative and accurate. https://forum.abetterrouteplanner.com/blogs/entry/33-helping-abrp-charge-networks/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJW Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I have also seen that some of the Corri-door chargers are duplicated as Sodetrel. I have blocked both networks. This whole Corri-door situation makes it very very difficult to get from Germany to my in-laws in Le Mans. I hate Paris area to drive in so I avoid it like the pest, and the "southern route" via Beaune - Orleans -Tours is now "difficult" to say the least in my 28Kwh Ioniq.

Damn, even with a much less efficient e-Soul with a big pack, I plan carefully around there, so I understand the pain... Well, the insider who let me in on some secret intel probably wouldn’t read me here, but there will be a rollout of a Corridoor “2“, most likely planned off-highways à la Tesla... and I deeply hope they fill in the vast empty spots we have in France... Damn country has been breast-fed diesel for generations despite being a 80% nuke-powered empire and we have to hunt for charging spots, it sores me when I think about it... Gotta reach out to Berlin, I really need to get my German documentation sorted out, bearing a French passport is shameful at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard too of Corri-door “2“ but it appears to be in the box of "if then perhaps maybe" so I don't expect anything in the next few years.
