The EV Public Locations API provides a list of public EV charging locations across Europe. By integrating this data into your applications, you enable drivers to plan their routes efficiently and gain access to the Shell Recharge network, as well as locations available publicly through roaming partners.
Why use the EV Public Locations API
Smart Routing
Make your drivers’ lives easier and eliminate range anxiety. Drivers can navigate to open chargers, avoiding time-wasting detours to stations that are currently occupied or offline.
Maximise fleet cost savings
Eliminating wasted mileage from detours keeps your fleet moving efficiently, while upfront transparency on tariffs, charging speeds, and connector types allows you to optimise your charging budget and prevent unexpected costs.
Access reliable charging points
Provide drivers with access to one of Europe’s largest charging networks, including Shell Recharge and roaming partners, so they can always find a suitable charging point on their route.
Key features
The Shell EV Public Locations API provides you the with following capabilities:
Get a paged list of locations: Retrieve a paginated list of all public Shell Recharge and partner locations using flexible search criteria. This returns the exact address and up-to-date status information for all charging units at the site.
Get a single location by id: Query a specific location using its unique internal identifier to access detailed site information. You can also pass a providerId to retrieve specific tariff information.
Return a list of nearby locations: Fetch all nearby Shell Recharge and roaming partner locations by simply providing the user's current latitude and longitude coordinates.
Return a list of markers: Provide geographical bounds (East, West, North, South) to retrieve a set of map markers. To ensure a clean interface, the API groups and clusters locations at the exact same position into a single marker.
How you can use the EV Public Locations API
Using EV Public Locations API in your app, you can combine static, OCPI-compliant data with live updates to help drivers reach the right charger faster.
Your application can use the API's coordinates to plot interactive map markers directly within your navigation flow.
When zoomed out, the API clusters stations for a cleaner map interface.
As drivers search for a station, your app can visually filter these map pins by availability, power level, or connector type, guiding them to the nearest suitable charger.
