The Client
ZapMap
ZapMap is a leading platform for electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the UK, offering essential tools to locate, plan routes, and pay for public EV charging. With over 1.5 million app downloads and 800,000 registered users, ZapMap simplifies EV charging by aggregating geospatial data from over 61,000 charging devices and 100+ charge point operators into one unified app.
The Challenge
Helping EV drivers find chargers and giving the industry better insights
With over 100 charge point operators and a fast-growing number of charging locations, EV drivers struggle to find chargers easily. Industry partners, like charge point operators and utility companies, also need accurate data on charger usage, availability, and demand to improve infrastructure. ZapMap needed a solution to clean, combine, and analyze large amounts of EV charging data in real-time.

As a result, Zapmap is able to track and analyze over 1 million charging sessions monthly to see peak usage and regional trends. This enables industry stakeholders to pinpoint infrastructure gaps, predict future demand, and optimize energy management.
