As part of the collaboration, Hubject is providing the Berlin-based company Localiser with both point of interest (POI) data and real-world usage information for charging stations. The data is sourced from the Hubject network, which, according to the company, includes over 1.1 million charge points across more than 75 countries. Localiser plans to use this information to evaluate new locations and analyse existing charging infrastructure.
Localiser’s platform is designed for both charge point operators, municipalities, and investors, enabling them to assess potential sites for charging infrastructure. The company states that over 35,000 such site evaluations are conducted monthly. These assessments already incorporate data on population, traffic, points of interest, and competition to forecast energy demand and utilisation. The additional Hubject data will now enhance these calculations with real-world usage patterns from a vast charging network.
“Charging infrastructure only serves drivers if it’s built where it’s actually needed,” says Hubject CEO Christian Hahn. By integrating network data, location decisions can be based more on actual usage patterns and less on projections alone.
