What is Eco-Movement?
Eco-Movement is a platform for EV charging station data that aggregates information about public and semi-public charge points worldwide into a single verified database: location, charger type, power output, tariffs and real-time availability. That database feeds the consumer maps, navigation platforms, automotive OEMs and e-mobility services that shape where EV drivers decide to charge. Eco-Movement also describes itself as the preferred charging-data connector for Apple Maps.
Founded in the Netherlands and headquartered in Utrecht, Eco-Movement has spent more than a decade building what it positions as the most comprehensive and accurate charge point database in the industry. In September 2025 the company was acquired by Dow Jones, adding the weight of a global information business to its data operation.
PinMeTo announced its partnership with Eco-Movement in October 2022. Together with the Cirrantic integration, it gives charge point operators a direct route from one dashboard into the EV charging ecosystem, alongside the same data flowing to Google, Apple and Facebook.
What charging station data flows through Eco-Movement?
Eco-Movement distributes the full data profile a driver needs before committing to a charging stop, not just a pin on a map. Through the partnership, operators can keep the following verified and current across every connected platform:
- Location and access: address, entrance, opening hours and verified business information
- Charger specifications: connector types, charger type and power output
- Pricing: tariffs and payment information, increasingly a regulatory requirement in Europe
- Live availability: real-time Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) status, which Eco-Movement delivers to its data consumers within milliseconds
This kind of data moves between operators, aggregators and EV charging networks through open protocols such as the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI), which is how a single verified feed can reach many platforms at once instead of requiring a custom integration for each.
Why does charging data quality matter for charge point operators?
A charging session starts long before the cable is plugged in: drivers choose a station in a map, a route planner or their car’s navigation, and stale data loses the session to a competitor. An occupied charger shown as free, an outdated tariff or a wrong access note does more damage in EV charging than in almost any other industry, because the driver is locked into the decision for the length of the charge.
Data quality is also becoming a compliance question. European open-data rules, including National Access Point (NAP) reporting obligations, increasingly require charge point operators to publish accurate static and dynamic station data. A verified feed through an aggregator like Eco-Movement helps operators meet those obligations and stay visible at the same time.
How PinMeTo Connects to Eco-Movement
PinMeTo’s integration with Eco-Movement lets charge point operators manage their entire digital presence, from Google Business Profile to in-car navigation, in one workflow. Through the partnership, operators can:
- Manage every charging location centrally from the PinMeTo dashboard
- Distribute verified station data to navigation apps, maps and in-car systems through Eco-Movement’s network
- Keep details consistent across charger type, power output, pricing and availability
- Strengthen discoverability wherever drivers plan their next charge
This partnership with Eco-Movement means giving our customers in the EV space a modern tool to be the best in the market, providing up-to-date and precise data about each location. With full control over the listings, our clients can maintain accurate profiles and update any changes with one click.

Who benefits from the partnership?
The partnership is built for any organization that operates EV charging infrastructure at scale. That includes dedicated charge point operators, but also fuel and convenience chains adding chargers to forecourts, supermarkets and retail parks offering charging while customers shop, and hotels and parking operators where charging is part of the visit. For all of them, the charging station is a location like any other in their portfolio: it needs to be found, trusted and chosen.
