Real-time electric vehicle service arrives in North America.

TomTom has announced the introduction of their electric vehicle (EV) service to North America. The service first launched in Europe in September 2017.

The TomTom EV Service provides real-time availability for charging points, as well as other essential information such as opening hours, payment methods and connector types.

It is available to automakers and their suppliers, and includes almost 11,000 charging locations across the USA and Canada, with more locations to come.

“For the electric car market to grow, it’s important that we reduce the barriers to entry, one of which is range anxiety,” said Olaf Gietelink, VP Product Marketing, TomTom Automotive.
