Monit joins EVRoaming Foundation
The Hague, 18 November 2021 Monit Data joins EV Roaming Foundation
Monit Data, the market leader in parking data analytics for Dutch municipalities, is proud to join the EVRoaming foundation as a full member. With their expertise in data analytics Monit is looking forward to contribute to further developing the OCPI open standard. As the worlds of parking and EV charging are merging, an open exchange of data will result in a higher service quality for EV users and parking & charge point operators
Bringing together the merging worlds of EV charging and parking
The objective of the EVRoaming Foundation is to facilitate roaming services for charging electric vehicles and provide transparent information to consumers about charging locations and prices. Part of the foundation is the development of the open and independent Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol. The ultimate goal is to allow any EV driver to charge at any charging station in the EU.
“The EVRoaming Foundation supports accessibility of charge networks across the world, with correct information towards and for the EV driver. With charging many different roles and companies are involved, including data analyzing partners, parking companies, energy and smart charging providers, EV driver organizations, etc. To do this, we need contributors in all these areas. With Monit Data active in data analysis and parking, we can improve our activities, services and OCPI developments.”

OCPI open standard contributes to Monit product suite
The EVRoaming Foundation’s groundwork in developing open standards has significantly accelerated Monit product development. Based on the OCPI protocol Monit has launched a new EV module in their popular Parking Monitor suite. The open standards enable the EV module to combine data from multiple CPOs to give municipalities better integrated insights. These include some key metrics such as charge point occupancy. A second important insight is the charging profiles of EV users, enabling optimization of electrical utility contracts and infrastructure capacity.
