As of February 2023, Waze are importing ECVS as PURs onto WME, this data is from an external provider and we are being asked to review and confirm the data. |
Data provided EVCS
You should take extreme care when reviewing EVCS PURs supplied by the data provider, this is due to each WME Place being linked back to the data provider for future development of this feature. You are only to reject a PUR is you are absolutely certain the EVCS do not exist. Be aware that the roll-out of EVCS across the country is an ongoing project by may separate providers and joint ventures, therefore even recent aerial images and StreetView images may be out-of-date.
You can use each providers website / map / app to assist in confirming the expected location of an EVCS.
Duplicates
It is important that you don't assume PURs are duplicate and investigate thoroughly before merging EVCS due, but not limited to, the following reasons:
- more than 1 provider may have equipment at the same location, these should be mapped as separate EVCS
- the same provider may have multiple equipment at the same location, some accessible to the general public, with others limited in use either restricted or private, these require mapping as separate EVCS
Duplicates of existing WME Places should be accepted and treated as the primary mapping, the existing WME Place should then be merged into the new feed provided EVCS. Duplicates that are all from the new feed should be accepted, then merged as required.
Note: Duplicates which are located on different floors of a multi-storey car park should all be approved and merged, the locations should then be noted in the Location in venue section.
