Plugsurfing's APIs - Plugsurfing Developer

Plugsurfing offers two separate integration products. Customers typically choose either Drive API or Roam OCPI, not both.

About Plugsurfing

Plugsurfing is a leading eMobility Service Provider (eMSP or EMP) in Europe, offering electric vehicle (EV) drivers access to an extensive network of public charging points across European countries. Through its app and charging card, Plugsurfing enables users to locate charging stations, and then initiate and pay for charging sessions seamlessly.

Choose your integration path

Plugsurfing offers two separate integration products: Drive API and Roam OCPI. A customer normally chooses one integration path, not both. Do not mix Drive API endpoints, AI tooling, user flows, payment flows, or charging-key management with the Roam OCPI module documentation.

Product	Choose it when	Not the right fit when	Source of truth
Drive API	You want Plugsurfing’s proprietary integration for charging data, users, payments, charging keys, and remote sessions.	You want a standards-based OCPI 2.2.1 roaming integration.	Drive API guides, Drive API reference, and MCP for AI Agents
Roam OCPI	You want managed roaming through an OCPI 2.2.1 integration path.	You need Drive API-specific user, payment, subscription, or charging-key order flows.	Roam OCPI guides and the OCPI 2.2.1 specification

Use Drive API when you want the broader Plugsurfing product surface. Use Roam OCPI when you want the OCPI-based roaming product.
