OZEV EV Open Data
THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT publishes IT Services work continuously — 25 notices, roughly one every 12 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
26% of THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
CURRENT SITUATION The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 are intended to ensure that the experience of consumers using public charge points across the United Kingdom is consistent and positive.
This will support the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and help the UK to reach its climate targets.
The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), as a joint unit of the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, oversees the implementation of the PCPR.
These regulations mandate several requirements for Charge Point Operators (CPOs), including opening charge point data accurately through the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol by 24th Nov 2024, with reference and availability data made publicly available in a machine-readable format without terms and conditions.
We expect industry, including CPOs, eMSPs and other intermediaries, to use open data to ensure that consumers have access to accurate, timely data on public chargepoints, enabling them to find and use the most appropriate chargepoints for their needs with confidence.
Given the prevalence of such providers, we do not see a need for DfT to build a data platform to serve open data to consumers.
There is however a clear need to build a solution to enable DfT, regulators and other government departments and agencies to use open data effectively.
WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE We plan to build a data platform, pipeline and tools to consume and use open data from public chargepoints to monitor policy outcomes, help regulate the industry and shape future policy.
As part of this initiative, the EV Open Data Programme, we intend to appoint a partner who will collect open data across all public UK chargepoints in real time and provide this to the DfT.
We will ingest this data on a periodic basis into the DfT data platform for processing and serving use cases to different user groups.
