Annually the Open Charge Map database services millions of queries for EV charging infrastructure from hundreds of thousands of users (via our website, apps, 3rd party apps and services).

We are hoping to cover our annual hosting costs as well as to improve our service performance and availability as a whole. We want to continue to improve our services, tools, apps, APIs, documentation and of course our database.

We would also like to start sponsoring community work such as local groups to raise awareness of the project among EV owners, and it would be great to get some t-shirts, hats etc happening for community members.
