Open EV Data

Open Dataset of Electric Vehicles and their specs.

In contrast to ICE cars, electric vehicles have very different behaviors in terms of charging and charging speed. Having reliable data about a car is key for developing EV-related applications.

This dataset (data/ev-data.json) can be freely integrated into ANY application under the terms of our license. Attribution is required.

This data is used for Kilowatt – Electric Car Timer app available on the Apple App Store.

Available Data

At the moment mostly charging related data is available. Feel free to add more data if you need it!

You can also search through our data set!.

• ID: Random UUID
• Brand
• Vehicle Type (car, motorbike)
• Model
• Release Year: Mainly to distinquish models with the same name.
• Variant: Bigger battery, optional faster on-board charger etc.
• Usable Battery Size: in kWh
• Average Energy Consumption: in kWh/100km
• Voltage architecture: 400v or 800v charging
• AC Charger: Details about the on-board charger.
  • Usable Phases: No. of usable phases for AC charging. Allowed values: 1,2,3
  • Ports: Allowed values: type1, type2
  • Max Power: in kW
• DC Charger: null if the car doesn't support DC charging
  • Ports: Allowed values: ccs, chademo, tesla_suc, tesla_ccs
  • Max Power: in kW
  • Charging Curve: Simplified charging behaviour based on various charging curve charts (e.g. Fastned). If no charging curve data is available, the default curve is assumed to be: 0%: 95% of max. DC power, 75%: max. DC power, 100%: max. AC power.
    • percentage: Charging level of battery in percentage
    • power: in kW
  • Is Default Charging Curve: true if the charging curve is based on the default curve instead of real measured data.
