TomTom Brings Real-Time EV Location Service to North American Market

TomTom announced a real-time electric vehicle service available to automakers and suppliers to let vehicle owners know when and where they can charge their cars. The service includes nearly 11,000 charging stations across the U.S. and Canada, said the company. “For the electric car market to grow, it’s important that we reduce the barriers to entry, one of which is range anxiety,” said Olaf Gietelink, vice president-marketing at TomTom Automotive. The service launched in Europe in September and covers more than 45,000 charging stations globally.
