OCM is a community project and therefore depends on the Œcommunity¹ to provide the resourcesŠ it¹s doing reasonably well with 24,367 Charging Stations documented across the globe. The reason you as a volunteer must enter the Ecotricity data is because they have chosen to restrict access to their charging locations by not publicly sharing dataŠ personally I think this is very silly but not at all uncommonŠ the good news is that the majority of Ecotricity sites are already in the OCM database so you won¹t have many to do. Going forward we have some cool integration with the Open Vehicles project which is about to start automatically updating the OCM database whenever suitably equipped cars are charged in publicŠ that will cut through the restrictive practices of the charging vendors and give us a high quality charging database that we can all use. http://www.openvehicles.com Kevin Sharpe | Founder & Patron | Zero Carbon World is a UK Registered Charity #1141347 _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
