Next Green Car today announces the launch of a new EV and charging site built around Zap-Map, the established UK charging point map.
With close to twenty different EVs available to buy, nearly 10,000 electric cars registered in the UK and an advancing charging point infrastructure with more than 6000 public points, the UK electric car market is set for strong growth over the next few years.
Ben Lane, Managing Editor Zap-Map.com said: “The new enhanced Zap-Map website is our response to the increasing interest in electric cars, growing charging infrastructure and the daily feedback we receive via both Zap-Map and Next Green Car. Through the provision of clear, information and tools on EV charging and electric vehicles, our aim is to support current and future EV drivers and play our part in invigorating the UK to „go electric‟ ”
In addition to Zap-Map live, the searchable charging point map, the Zap-Map website now includes the following enhancements.
Charging Point Search Tools: Users can now search by location, charger speed, and connector type. Details of the charging points can be shown as a list, grid or displayed on the map.
Search by EV Model: Users can now search and view only charging points which are compatible with a specific EV model. Also, Zap-Map.com now includes a unique Connector Selector to show which charger types connect with a particular EV model.
Charging Point and EV Info: Aiming to demystify the often confusing world of charging points and electric vehicles, the new Zap-Map website includes practical buying guides, simple explanations of technologies and lists of EV models available in the UK.
Zap-Map Community: With the aim of providing the best possible charging point data, the new website now includes new communication channels for EV drivers and charge point owners to update information on a charging point, report an issue or add a new point to the database.
Aswell as daily charging point data updates, Zap-Map.com will be updated regularly with the latest news and issues from the EV and charging world. The website will be funded by advertising, sponsorship and delivery of bespoke data and mapping solutions.
