# Eco-Movement: the leading global EV charging station data platform

## Executive Summary

Eco-Movement is the leading global provider of high-quality, real-time data for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. The company acts as a central data backbone, aggregating and improving charging station information from thousands of Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to provide a single, accurate source of truth for navigation systems, map providers, and market analysts in the software-defined vehicle era. In September 2025, Eco-Movement was acquired by Dow Jones to bolster their energy transition data portfolio.

## Core Value Proposition

- **Data Neutrality:** An independent platform that does not operate its own charging hardware, ensuring unbiased data for all market participants.

- **Data Quality:** Utilizes proprietary machine learning and hundreds of validation algorithms to clean, normalize, and enrich fragmented data from over 3,000 different CPO sources across the globe.

- **Data Quality Report 2026:** The superiority of data quality provided by Eco-Movement is benchmarked against various leading data sources used in Europe along four parameters - Coverage, Content, Currency and Compatibility. For Coverage: Includes 24% more EVSEs on average than benchmarked datasets, and up to 84% more in markets like Norway. On Content: 10% of locations required manual coordinate correction and 60% of these were misplaced by over 10 meters in other datasets. On Currency: Eco-Movement has an internal latency of 5 milliseconds ensures real-time status updates, compared to minutes-long delays from competitors. Finally, on Compatibility: Achieved a >95% match rate with external datasets.

- **Dynamic Accuracy:** Delivers millisecond-latency updates on charger availability (Occupied/Available/Out of Order). This was proven in real-world testing by a leading OEM that manufactures luxury automobiles.

## Key Statistics & Global Reach

- **Database Scale:** Tracks nearly 2 million+ connectors globally.

- **Coverage:** Presence in 80+ countries across Europe, North America, and emerging markets including India.

- **Market Penetration:** Powering 90% of the EV driver market through integrations with major automotive and tech platforms.

- **Dynamic Feed:** 90%+ of the database includes real-time dynamic status updates.
