TomTom Boosts Electric Revolution with Tools to Beat Range Anxiety
20 Agosto 2019 - 9:00AM
TomTom, [TOM2] the location technology specialist, today announced
the launch of two new APIs for developers to help build
applications for electric mobility. The TomTom Long Distance EV
Routing API and the TomTom EV Charging Stations Availability API
are new to the already extensive range of tools TomTom offers to
developers who build an application for electric vehicle drivers –
enabling a reliable and stress-free driving experience.
TomTom, winner of the TaaS Technology Award 2019
for outstanding electric vehicle technology innovation, offers
tools to develop applications for electric vehicle drivers. For
example, with the TomTom Routing API it is easy to calculate the
actual reachable range of electric vehicles and to find the most
energy efficient route – taking into account vehicle and road
network characteristics as well as traffic patterns.
The new Long Distance EV Routing API allows
users to route from A to B beyond one charge. The routing
algorithm, specifically designed to optimize travel time,
calculates the route including stops to charge, displaying an
estimated arrival time that also considers the charging time. The
second new API, EV Charging Stations Availability API, provides
information about the availability of the charging stations per
plug type, making sure the driver knows before arrival whether a
charging point is available for use or not.
“The future of mobility is connected, shared,
automated and definitely electric,” says Anders Truelsen, Managing
Director, TomTom Enterprise. “This electric revolution poses new
challenges like range anxiety which require a new generation of
location technology. TomTom offers developers the perfect toolkit
to create innovative and useful location-based services for
electric vehicle drivers that will help lift the practical and
psychological barriers to wide-scale EV adoption, helping to work
towards a world free of emissions.”
Developers can start building for electric
mobility with TomTom SDKs and APIs on TomTom’s self-service
developer portal:
