National Access Point

Also called NAP

A National Access Point, or NAP, is a mechanism set up by an EU Member State to make transport-related data discoverable and accessible for exchange and reuse.

A NAP can take forms such as a portal, database, repository or data marketplace. AFIR and its implementing data rules bring public charging-infrastructure data into this wider European mobility-data framework.

OCPI 2.3.0 added support for data needed for AFIR and NAP use cases. A NAP is not a charging backend or roaming platform.

It is part of the public data-access architecture around transport information.
