ENECHANGE Improves EV Charging Database Accuracy

ENECHANGE Co., Ltd., based in Minato, Tokyo, recently announced significant improvements to its electric vehicle (EV) charging information platforms, namely "EVsmart.net" and the "EVsmart Data API". This update includes the revision of coordinate information for a total of 6,194 charging stations across Japan based on an extensive internal investigation.

Background on the Update

In the past, some details of certain EV charging locations indicated a general point for the building or facility rather than the precise spot of the charging unit. Updates in the location of charging stations sometimes led to discrepancies between the actual placement and what was displayed on maps. Such inaccuracies posed challenges for users who relied on navigation systems to locate these stations, thus sparking feedback regarding the difficulty in finding charging points.

To address this issue, ENECHANGE conducted a meticulous review of locations where there was a suspicion of a discrepancy greater than 10 meters between the actual installation and the registered coordinates. As a result, notable enhancements were made to the latitude and longitude data of nationwide EV charging spots, bringing the error margin down to approximately 10 meters or below. This improvement is anticipated to substantially benefit EV users by making it easier for them to find charging stations.

Future Prospects

As EV adoption continues to rise, the demand for EV charging infrastructure is increasing. For many, especially when visiting unfamiliar areas, having precise location information for charging stations is crucial. The recent update aims to alleviate the "charging stress" experienced by users, offering a more pleasant EV driving experience.

ENECHANGE is committed to the ongoing enhancement of data accuracy by regularly updating its databases. They aim to provide a valuable platform for both EV users and businesses offering EV charging services, continuing their mission to support the transition to a greener society.
