What is a Custom Station Database
With a Custom Station Database, you integrate your own public and private station data into Chargetrip’s routing engine. This ensures that only your selected stations are used in routing and, therefore the charging decisions of your users, giving you the power to manage your network the way you want.
Unlike third-party solutions, this tailored approach lets you align the user experience directly with your business goals. You control your stations — and the route. Use the same data across routing, mapping, and payments to deliver a consistent, seamless experience for your drivers.

How it works
Setting up your Custom Station Database
Integration: Work with Chargetrip’s team to integrate your station data. The initial set up takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the state of your data.

Routing graph: Our routing engine transforms your data into a network optimized for EV routing.
Technical requirements:
Station database (ideally OCPI-compliant) with fields like location, availability, and pricing.
Push/pull mechanism for data sharing.
A staging endpoint for testing prior to production.
If you don’t have station data
Chargetrip works with Eco-Movement as a standard data provider partner.
Choose the Eco-Movement Station database if:
You don’t have an existing station dataset.
You need a quick, cost-effective way to cover standard public networks across Europe and North America.
