The integration architecture is straightforward. When the platform creates or assigns a route to an EV, it calls the routing API with the vehicle identifier, the route waypoints, and the vehicle's current state of charge from the telematics feed. The API returns a complete route with charging stops, per-segment SoC estimates, stop durations, and adjusted arrival time. The platform displays this in its existing interface and delivers it to the driver's device.

For live tracking, the platform can send updated SoC data from telematics during the journey. If the vehicle's actual charge is deviating significantly from the plan — heavier traffic, unexpected payload, a cold snap — the routing API recalculates and returns an updated route. The platform delivers the update to the driver. This closes the loop between the pre-departure plan and the live operational reality.

Chargetrip's API is built for this integration pattern. It is a GraphQL API, which means the platform requests exactly the fields it needs: a dispatcher interface needs different data from a driver navigation view, and both can be served from the same endpoint without maintaining separate API versions. The vehicle database covers 2000+ EV models with validated real-world consumption models. The charging station database covers networks across Europe with real-time availability where supported.
