1 Scope
This document specifies the "electromobility information" (EMI) TPEG application.
The EMI application has been specifically designed to support information about charging
infrastructure for electric vehicles (not just cars), the location of e- charging points and their suitability for the respective vehicle (e.g. connector type, charging modality).
As electric vehicles will occupy a “charging space” for longer a time than other vehicles, information
on availability/waiting time and reservation options are accounted for, as they are
highly relevant for enabling a user of an electric vehicle to optimally plan their route/trip.
The standardized delivery, via TPEG technology, of electromobility information has
the following benefits to an end user of this TPEG service:
a) identification of suitable charging units for vehicles, thus preventing unnecessary
travel to find a fitting unit (also has environmental benefits);
b) verification of the real-time availability of charging units;
c) possibility of planning ahead and reserving a spot in a charging park , thus optimizing trip planning;
d) possibility of selecting a financially attractive charging point i...
