Do you foresee consolidation occuring for access to the data? Having to install 10s of apps / consult multiple sources for charging prices (not all chargers present a price) is painful.
- carstenhag 2y agoI do see consolidation happening, but it doesn't have to do with data. Right now there are many EMP (eMobility Provider) in Europe, trying to get a piece of the cake. Scale of economics will make the big ones have an edge over the small ones, eventually only a few big ones will likely survive. Two examples: - If an EMP connects directly to a CPO (Charge Point Operator) they can avoid roaming platform fees, but it requires individual integration. This is only worth for very large CPO like Ionity. - An EMP has to sanitize and improve the raw chargepoint data they get from providers. Thousands of times CPOs have set their chargepoints to LatLng 0,0; have messed up lng and lat; have put their stations to Somalia's beach.
