One more chsrging database that is not updated.

Can't we just get this data into an existing network like Yelp?

not at all... OCM is a community project that is growing rapidly, almost 1000 locations were added in the last 3 weeks alone. The purpose of OCM is to provide a global, free, and open database that apps/maps/sat-nav can use so that we don't need to maintains 100+ maps that we have today.

networks like Yelp still need a centralised database of Charging Station locations, capabilities, and status.... thats the purpose of OCM

Do all the NIssan dealers shown actually have chargers? And will they
let non-customers use them?

If you are talking about the UK then yes and yes...

The Open Charge Map project has just released an enhanced widget that enables website developers to use the OCM database easily to create maps...

here's an example map;

and the widget itself;

This is a great idea, but even with this many charging stations listed, it's still woefully out of date. Assuming the US government web information is free, it should be regularly updating from this source: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

we take a regular feed from the the US Government database which is 'woefully out of date'.... today we are aware of over 100 websites and apps and the best is ~50% accurate IMO.... the only answer is agreement on data sharing standards (not likely) or a community project where EV drivers regularily report status of the EV Chargers they use...

I noticed that several locations listed for metro Atlanta were duplicate. The addresses were the same, but the coordinates were slightly different. It might be worthwhile filtering the database to eliminate duplicates.

you bet... any chance you'll get involved and post an update to OCM?
