Adding stations in bulk

Question
1

Hello,
How can we contribute the crowdsourced Google maps list of EV stations in Jordan?

We can export it to CSV to ensure easier import.

Hi, I’m not sure I understand the question? You can’t copy data from google maps into OCM becuase that’s Googles data (or whoever supplied it to them).

To add data to OCM, either manually enter information for each location or arrange with the networks to submit data to use via OCPI: https://openchargemap.org/site/about/datasharing

Open Charge Map has a strict requirement that data entered is not copied without permission from other sources.

We surely won’t copy data from Google. We built that data using google maps lists and we can export it as it is own own data.
Now, the question, if we export our data, can we import it to OCM?

Hi, no there is no bulk import other than providing an OCPI data feed, this is because data in different formats required their own code to be built for each import.

For non-networked stations you can manually enter the charging locations. How many locations are you adding?

For networked and/or network operator managed locations please encourage the network operator to provide us an OCPI data feed, this will make the data feed sustainable instead of being a one-off import.
