How do I export open data for my charge points?

The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 introduced a mandatory open data requirement for CPOs in the UK. The regulation requires essential information about public charge points — such as location, status, and pricing — to be made openly accessible, improving transparency and supporting EV driver decision-making.

What is included in the open data export?

Open data is exported for your whole operator, covering all of your charge points in one export.

The regulation requires CPOs to report on 49 fields of data, separated between Location (table 9), EVSE (table 10), and Connector (table 11). The Monta open data export currently covers 40 of the 49 fields.

The following 9 fields must be filled in manually after exporting the file:

Property	Type	Description	Comment
related_locations	AdditionalGeoLocation	Geographical location of related points relevant to the user.	Must be filled in manually.
