Instead, we were able to leverage the existing data from the Station Locator tool and tailor it for national park visitors.”The data powering both the Station Locator tool and the NPS EV charging map stretches back decades.
Abby Brown, an NREL transportation project manager who serves as the Station Locator’s data collection lead, explained that NREL began manually collecting the nation’s EV charging data in 1991, when the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Alternative Fuels Data Center. In 2014, NREL started to automate this data collection for EV charging networks that share their data through an application programming interface .
