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project by many separate providers and joint ventures, therefore even recent aerial images and StreetView images may be out-of-date.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.
PUR actions
If the EVCS exists then approve the PUR and adjust the location to match, add any further details you can, then update the GSheet status and add comments if required.
Status
- New station - for all public and restricted PURs that are found to be correct and have no existing WME Place.
- Duplicate in feed - for any PUR that has been merged into another PUR from the feed only
- Problem - for all rejected PURs or PURs that we have taken no action on and are refering back to Waze
- Already in Waze/merged - for PURs that have been approved and an existing Waze Place has been merge with
- Private do not map - for all PURs found to meet the PRivate criteria and have not been approved / actioned, do not reject
- Public - Restricted - for all PURs from the feed that were listed as public but updated to restricted as they meet the restricted criteria
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.

If you are unsure about the existence of an EVCS or can't confirm it's location do not action the PUR and bring it to the attention of the Champs for review. |
EVCS details
Naming
Always start the EVCS with the network name, followed by the location or business the located at.
Examples:
Location in venue
Add a short descriptive location of the equipment; rear of car park, first 4 bays on left, beside KFC building, etc

You will not be able to edit the majority of the details from feed imported EVCS and you should it as trusted information for the time being. |
