EV battery

API

Click, consent, retrieve SoC.

Read an electric vehicle’s battery level and battery capacity with simple API requests.

Battery level

Retrieve the state of charge (SoC) and the remaining range from a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).

Battery capacity

Know the capacity of an electric vehicle’s battery.
