With this rising demand, above 10% with respect to total sales, new charging points outside the home or workplace are increasingly needed.

The great virtue of Chargemap is focused on the possibility of marking a travel route and stops automatically appear that the driver must make depending on his electric vehicle. It provides information coverage throughout Europe thanks to its database with 300,000 charging points.
