TomTom and Hubject are joining forces reducing EV Drivers’ Range and Charging Anxiety

PRESS RELEASE — Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 19 May 2021 TomTom (TOM2), the leading independent location technology specialist, today announced an extension to their relationship with Hubject, an eMobility digital specialist. Hubject has established the world’s largest cross-provider platforms for electric vehicle charging. TomTom’s EV suite and TomTom’s Maps APIs now receive more information related to charging point locations, connector types and, critically, availability, helping drivers and EV fleet managers to save time and avoid stress.

The cooperation brings the total global number of charging points on TomTom’s maps to almost 450,000. More than 175,000 of those charging points provide availability information to drivers via TomTom’s EV charging points service.

Improved EV points-of-interest (POIs) will further enhance the EV driving experience with TomTom’s location technology. The latest TomTom EV Routing and Range technology use a broad catalog of factors to plan the best route, precisely predict range, and calculate a reliable estimated time of arrival (ETA). These factors include current and maximum battery level, driving speed, road type, and gradient, as well as traffic and charging point information.

“TomTom is constantly upgrading its maps and EV services, removing barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles as we push towards our vision of a cleaner, emission-free future,” said Antoine Saucier, Managing Director, TomTom Automotive.

“We are delighted to be working with TomTom to bring information on the world’s largest cross-provider EV roaming platforms to even more EV drivers,” said Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject. ‍
