NCR Statistics: Recent activity and uploads




*Data providers do not always make the power rating of their chargepoint connectors available to us for reporting. Currently there are 366 such chargepoint devices.

The table shown provides recent data activity for the total number of devices and connectors currently in the NCR database. Additionally, a further breakdown of the connector types is provided showing the numbers of Standard AC (3kW), Fast AC (7kW & 22kW) and Rapid AC (43kW) & Rapid DC (50kW+) connectors currently in the NCR.

Alongside the total numbers of devices, connectors and connector types shown. When possible, added, modified and deleted columns will be added and provide a breakdown of the changes to the devices or connectors undertaken during the last update, the date of which is shown in the last update column.

The data shown is taken from the NCR database but for definitive figures download the complete dataset.

About the NCR

The National Chargepoint Registry (NCR) was established by the UK Government in 2011 to provide a public database of publicly-funded chargepoints across the UK in support of the Government’s objective to promote the use and sales of Ultra Low Emission vehicles (ULEVs). Operators or owners of any publicly accessible chargepoint may register their data.

The NCR is a registry of UK chargepoints, 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.

This web front-end is operated for OLEV by Cenex.

Third party applications

Mapping tools/apps based on NCR data include:
HERE Technologies to build EV services & products; ecarNI which shows points in N. Ireland; Greener Scotland which shows Scottish EV chargers; PlugSurfing, an app which allows covers the EU; Open Charge Map, which shows charge points in the UK & globally; mevCharge.com a route planner for EVs; Mitsubishi Motors which allows UK users to find Mitsubishi compatible points; The New Motion, that provides apps with search, filters & status notifications; MyRouteMonkey with battery aware route planning; & Zap-Map which displays chargepoint locations with user search functionality.

Access the data

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

To download the latest version of the NCR database users are directed to the official Government data portal at: data.gov.uk/dataset/national-charge-point-registry. The database is regularly updated. The links to the NCR database on the Government data portal were setup in 2012, which is why that date is referenced. Data is provided free under the Open Government Licence. No registration is required for this service.
