Working to make sustainable energy accessible for all
EV Roam
EV Roam is the first register of e-mobility IDs for Chargepoint Operators (CPO) and e-Mobility Service Providers (MSP) in the UK.
Mass adoption of electric vehicles requires a far-reaching and smart charging infrastructure. It requires the development of interoperable roaming which ensures that charging stations can be located throughout the UK and Europe, and that drivers receive the right payment settlements. To help make this a reality, CPO and MSP are issued with unique IDs for their charging stations and contracts.
e-Mobility ID format
REAL is responsible for issuing and managing the EV Roam ID register. REAL will issue each registered CPO and MSP with the first 5 characters of the ID which will be unique and listed on the EV Roam register.
The first 2 characters will be made up of the country code ‘GB’, in accordance with the ISO standard for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as found here.
The remaining 3 characters will be the registrant’s unique ID. The organisation applying for the ID is able to choose these 3 characters freely, so long as the ID is not yet assigned to another registrant, does not infringe any intellectual property laws, and complies with the EV Roam Terms found in the Application form.
The remaining characters making up the full ID will then be allocated by the CPO or MSP. For further information on the format of e-Mobility IDs, please see our guidance here.Application form and fees
