Electric vehicle data API — battery capacity, charging and range
Battery, charging, range and motor data for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Also known as: EV data · battery data · electric vehicle lookup · EV range by reg
Overview
Electric and hybrid specifics by registration: total and usable battery capacity, chemistry and voltage, manufacturer battery warranty, every charge port with its 10-80% charge times, real-world range and efficiency, and motor power and drivetrain.
Features
- Total and usable battery capacity
- Battery chemistry, voltage and warranty
- Charge ports with 10-80% charge times
- Real-world range and efficiency
- Motor power, torque and drivetrain
Example response
A successful lookup for AB12CDE. Illustrative values.
