About the NCR

The National Charge Point Registry (NCR) was established by the UK Government in 2011 to provide a public database of publicly-funded charge points across the UK in support of the Government’s objective to promote the use and sales of Ultra Low Emission vehicles (ULEVs) in the UK.

As its name suggests, the NCR is a registry of UK charge points, rather than a mapping service. However, one of the objectives of the NCR is to provide data to third parties, some of whom will present the database in a map format.

Third party applications

Organisations which have developed mapping apps based on NCR data include: ecarni which shows points in Northern Ireland; Greener Scotland which shows Scottish EV chargers; PlugSurfing, a desktop and mobile app which allows users to search for points by power rating; Open Charge Map, which shows charge points in the UK and globally; Mitsubishi Motors which allows users to find Mitsubishi compatible charge points in the UK; and Zap-Map which displays all UK NCR points and allows users to search by charger type.

Access the data

The NCR database containing key information regarding the UK’s public charge point network is freely available to end users in XML, CSV, and JSON formats. An API is also available for developers to automatically import the dataset for third party applications.

To download the latest version of the NCR database (in all formats), users are directed to the official Government data portal at: data.gov.uk/dataset/national-charge-point-registry. Data is provided free under the Open Government Licence. No registration is required for this service.
