There is a station listed at 55 Zina St, orangeville, Ontario. From mobile app or the website's new UI I only see that there is a single station ccs or chademo at 50kw. I'm always skeptical and curious about details about chargers I've never used before so I check plugshare. No charger listed at this location. So i check openchargemap.org. Not here either. So i go back to abrp and neither the app or the new ui tells me where this station info is coming from. Eventually I try the website on a pc and stumble on that the classic ui still exist and it still has the edit button for the source of this station info.
The NREL.gov. alternate fuel stations api. The edit link however leads me to the NREL generic contact page. Some digging leads me to the below.
"The mobile station locator is part of the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC) Web site (www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc). It was developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which manages the AFDC. The tool is sponsored by the Clean Cities initiative (www.eere.energy.gov/cleancities), a government-industry partnership sponsored by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Program."
Which also does not show any stations at this location. I can't find any news or anything on Google for a ccs, chademo or ev station near this location either. I'll hopefully be able to confirm if there is a charger there or not next week.
Is there a better way to get info about chargers? Is their api giving you canceled, planned or under construction chargers? Am I missing where the new ui shows the source of the info like the edit link in the old ui?
