Adds the Open ChargePoint Database (MobiData BW) as Germany's EV source: the BNetzA register merged with the operators' own feeds, with ad-hoc €/kWh prices and the session and per-minute fees on top. No API key.

Notes:

  • Only ad-hoc tariffs from healthy feeds are used. Feeds that failed, or haven't refreshed in 3 days, show unpriced.
  • Net prices without a stated rate get 19 % VAT. Prices with no tax data are read as gross.
  • If the feed-health request fails twice, the run fails and the current prices stay.
  • Migration: 20261022000000_fuel_price_ev_fees.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Germany now uses OCPDB by default for EV charger data and pricing; BNetzA and Open Charge Map remain selectable alternatives.
    • German charger listings can show per-kWh prices, applicable session and per-minute fees, and price age. Chargers without published prices remain available.
    • EV route planning can account for energy prices and session fees when pricing is available, and continues to plan by detour and charging time otherwise.
  • Documentation
    • Updated setup, coverage, and usage guides with German source options, EV pricing, charger display, and planning behavior.

BNetzA's private sweep becomes BaseScraper.sweepEvRows, with the prefixes it retires taken from a shared list in germany-ev-source.ts. No behaviour change.
New nullable fuel_prices.ev_fees JSONB column. Scrapers can now pass evFees and reportedAt per price; batches without them write the same SQL as before. EV prices are checked per kWh (EUR 0.10–2.00) instead of against the per-litre bands.
The EV queries in /api/stations, /api/stations/nearest and /api/route-stations join each charger's latest EV price instead of returning NULL, and pass ev_fees through as evFees. The station list shows its average in /kWh for chargers.
Priced chargers show €/kWh, their power, and any per-minute or per-session fees. A session fee that varies lists each option with when it applies. Unpriced chargers say the price isn't published. Adds 4 strings in all 17 locales.
PUMPERLY_DE_EV_SOURCE=ocpdb pulls Germany's chargers from the Open ChargePoint Database (MobiData BW): the BNetzA register merged with operator feeds, priced with ad-hoc tariffs (gross €/kWh, session and per-minute fees). Tariffs from feeds that failed or went stale are ignored. A run fails rather than wiping the current prices when feed health can't be read. BNetzA stays the default.
It contains the BNetzA register and is the only German source with prices. PUMPERLY_DE_EV_SOURCE=bnetza or =ocm switch back. On its first healthy run it retires the bnetza- and ocm- rows.
When chargers on the route have prices, the EV planner only considers priced chargers. Each stop costs kWh × price + the session fee, using the highest fee when it varies. The plan shows a cost per stop and in total, and the value-of-time input appears. Routes with no priced chargers keep the time-only plan.
Document the OCPDB scraper (merge, tariff choice, VAT, fees, feed health, cleanup), the ev_fees column, the new env vars and the EV price range. Pages that said chargers have no price now cover the priced German chargers: map, popup, route list and charging planner.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds OCPDB as Germany’s default EV source and stores eligible ad-hoc tariffs and fees. EV station APIs expose the latest price when available while retaining unpriced chargers. The map displays EV prices and fees, and route planning uses them when eligible prices are available.

Changes: German EV data ingestion and source selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
EV price persistence and shared scraper handling
src/types/station.ts, prisma/schema.prisma, src/scrapers/base.ts, src/scrapers/base.test.ts, src/scrapers/bnetza.ts, src/scrapers/bnetza.test.ts, docs/data/*, docs/reference/*, docs/operations/troubleshooting.md
EV price records support optional fees and upstream report times. Shared scraper logic validates EV prices, persists fee and timestamp data, and sweeps stale or replaced rows. BNetzA uses the shared sweep helper.
OCPDB tariff and station ingestion
src/scrapers/ocpdb.ts, src/scrapers/ocpdb.test.ts, docs/data/ev-sources.md
The scraper filters feeds and tariffs, merges nearby German locations, and emits station and price records. It runs cleanup only after an error-free run that meets the minimum refreshed-station threshold.
German EV source selection and rollout
src/scrapers/germany-ev-source.ts, src/scrapers/germany-ev-source.test.ts, src/instrumentation-node.ts, src/scrapers/cli.ts, .env.example, docs/configuration/*, docs/data/*, docs/development.md, docs/getting-started/first-start.md, docs/reference/environment-variables.md, docs/reference/glossary.md, docs/roadmap.md, src/components/nav/legal-modal.tsx
Germany defaults to OCPDB, with BNetzA and Open Charge Map as alternatives. Scheduler and CLI registration include OCPDB. Documentation describes source selection, schedules, cleanup, and OCPDB data sources.

EV price API and route planning

Layer / File(s) Summary
EV price API and charger display

Station APIs return the newest EV price and optional fees when present, without excluding unpriced chargers. Popups display per-kWh prices, charger power, and fee details. EV-facing documentation describes priced and unpriced charger behavior.
Price-aware EV route planning
src/components/search/refuel-planner.tsx, src/components/search/refuel-planner.test.tsx, src/lib/refuel-planner.ts, src/lib/refuel-planner.test.ts, docs/using/ev-charging.md
When eligible EV prices exist, planning considers charger prices and session fees. Otherwise, it selects by detour and charging time. Fixed stop fees contribute to planner stop costs.

Fix stale references after the price-band renumbering.

The new EV rule shifts the PUMPERLY_PRICE_MIN/PUMPERLY_PRICE_MAX rule from step 3 to step 4. Line 211 still says "rule 3", which now points to the CNG/LNG/H2/ADBLUE rule.

Line 219 says EV chargers are never dropped "because they have no prices". OCPDB now writes EV prices. EV chargers still stay in the run, but the stated reason is wrong.

-Those three currencies always use the `PUMPERLY_PRICE_MIN` and `PUMPERLY_PRICE_MAX` pair from rule 3.

Thanks for this, it's a big step up for Germany. I ran it end to end before deciding. On a scratch PostGIS with the real OCPDB data: lint, tsc, build and all 868 tests pass. The migration applies cleanly on an upgraded schema. The handover removes exactly the DE ocm- and bnetza- rows and leaves ES and fuel rows alone. The min-stations gate skips cleanup when raised, and a repeat run changes nothing. The API returns the prices and fees.

Replaying the live feed (2026-10-23) turned up a few problems that would show users wrong prices, so I'm not merging yet.

Must fix

  1. VAT given as a fraction. EcoMovement tariffs 132622, 132721, 132724 and 133685 (TotalEnergies) publish percentage: "0.19000…" with tax_included: false. grossPrice() treats that as 0.19 %, so 0.6639 net is stored as 0.665 instead of 0.79. About 130 pins show prices 16 % too low, and they then win as the cheapest nearby. Tariff 132725 has the same problem the other way: a net price with a "0" rate, so 0.5798 is stored when 0.69 is right. Normalising a rate between 0 and 1 to percent, and treating a net component whose rate sums to 0 like one with no rate (19 %), fixes both. Please add tests with the real payload shapes.

  2. Price and power come from different EVSEs. mergeLocations takes the cheapest tariff over all EVSEs but the highest power over all EVSEs. About 4,700 of 25,498 priced pins show a price from a slower EVSE than the kW next to it. For example, ocpdb-51.14720_7.32149 (EnBW Hückeswagen) shows 150 kW at 0.70 €/kWh, which is the 22 kW rate; DC there is 0.79 with blocking after 30 min. The planner then charges at DC speed and the AC price. Please take the price from the EVSEs at the pin's top power, falling back to the cheapest only when none of them is priced, and use the same rule when merging pins.

  3. Unpriced chargers disappear from EV plans. refuel-planner.tsx:105 sets evPriced when any corridor charger has a price, and line 137 then drops every charger without one. /api/route-stations has no country filter, so a Munich to Vienna (or Barcelona) route loses its Austrian, French or Spanish chargers and can become infeasible. On main they were candidates at price 0. Unpriced chargers have to stay in the plan.

Should fix

  1. The 25 m merge folds register sites together. Register locations merge into each other, not just feeds onto the register. About 8,950 bnetza_api locations end up inside another register pin, 850 of them under a different operator. bnetza.ts:60-65 chose 5 dp for exactly this reason. Merging feed onto register at 25 m and register onto register at 5 dp would keep those sites.

  2. Odd per-minute fees. Chargecloud 133462, 133483 and 133484 carry an unrestricted TIME component equal to the ENERGY price, so the stored fee is 0.56 €/min from minute 0 (the real one is 0.05 after 4 h). EcoMovement 133247 gives 14.28 €/min. At the other end, fees under 0.005 €/min render as "+0.00 €/min". A sanity band on per-minute fees, and more decimals or €/h for tiny ones, would cover it.

  3. Memory. fetchAll keeps all 102 raw location pages until the end. Peak RSS measured 626 to 796 MB per run, where BNetzA peaks at about 100 MB, inside a process that also runs the Next server (the Helm chart gives it 1 GiB). Parsing each page as it arrives brings the retained set to about 108 MB.

Minor

  • Tariff 132894 lists three unrestricted ENERGY prices (1.6, 0.412, 0.16 net). Taking the first follows OCPI, but it stores 1.904 €/kWh on a 4 kW ChargePoint. Leaving such tariffs unpriced may be safer.
  • ochp_albwerk, heilbronn_neckarbogen and eaaze_pbw declare no licence in /sources, so "others (CC0)" in the legal modal and docs is too broad. The bundle itself is dl-de/by-2-0, so crediting MobiData BW under that licence covers it.
  • One line in "Switching a source back": rolling back to a release before OCPDB leaves the ocpdb- rows behind, so Germany ends up with double pins until you delete them by hand.

I'm happy to re-run the same end-to-end check once these are in.

Thanks for the thorough replay. Each point is its own commit:

Must fix

  1. fix(ocpdb): read VAT given as a fraction or as zero: a rate between 0 and 1 is read as a fraction ("0.19" → 19 %). A net component whose rate sums to 0 gets 19 %. The tests feed the raw payload shapes (string percentages) through fetch(): 132622 gives 0.79, 132725 gives 0.69.
  2. fix(ocpdb): price a pin from the EVSEs at its top power: the price comes from the cheapest EVSE at the pin's top power. It falls back to the cheapest overall only when none of those is priced. Merging uses the same rule: a faster location brings its own price, an equally fast one competes on price, and a slower one never sets it. The brand follows the operator of the price shown.
  3. fix(planner): keep unpriced chargers in priced EV plans: unpriced chargers are candidates again, at price 0 as on main. A stop at one shows kWh only, with no cost. Chargers priced in another currency or above the price filter are still dropped.

Should fix

  1. fix(ocpdb): merge register sites only at 5 dp: register onto register at 5 dp, as in bnetza.ts. Feeds still merge onto the nearest pin within 25 m.
  2. fix(ocpdb): drop implausible per-minute fees and show tiny ones per hour:
    • A TIME price equal to the tariff's ENERGY price is ignored, so Chargecloud now shows 0.05 after 4 h.
    • Fees above 1 €/min are dropped (133247). Fees seen in the feed run 0.05–0.24, so the cap leaves plenty of room.
    • Fees under 0.01 €/min show per hour, e.g. +0.18 €/h.
  3. perf(ocpdb): parse location pages as they arrive.

Minor

  • fix(ocpdb): leave tariffs with conflicting energy prices unpriced: 132894 is now unpriced.
  • docs: credit OCPDB under dl-de/by-2-0 and note the rollback cleanup: the bundle is credited to MobiData BW under dl-de/by-2-0, and BNetzA and EnBW keep CC BY 4.0. "Others (CC0)" is gone. "Switching a source back" now has a tab that deletes the ocpdb- rows after a rollback.

Checks: lint, tsc and build pass, and all 883 tests pass. A read-only replay of the live feed today gives:

  • 77,072 stations, 25,532 of them priced
  • Hückeswagen at 150 kW / 0.79 with +0.24 €/min after 30 min
  • no pins left at 0.665 or 0.5798
  • no per-minute fee above 1 €/min or equal to its pin's kWh price
  • a highest price of 1.6065

Memory: peak RSS is down to about 553 MB from your 626–796 MB, but not to the ~108 MB you saw. Tariffs, associations and locations still download at the same time, 4 pages each. Fetching them one after another should bring it down further, at the cost of a longer run. I can add that here or in a follow-up, whichever you prefer.

Happy for you to re-run your end-to-end check.

🟡 Minor · Update the merge rule: it no longer applies to register-to-register merging. · ev-sources.md:224

docs/data/ev-sources.md:224
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the merge rule: it no longer applies to register-to-register merging.

The code in src/scrapers/ocpdb.ts merges register locations (bnetza_api) only when they share the same 5-decimal station key. The 25 m radius applies only when a feed location merges onto an existing pin.

Line 224 says all locations within 25 m merge. A reader will conclude that two register sites 10 m apart become one pin, but the code keeps them separate (see the test "keeps register sites a few metres apart separate"). Document both rules.

📝 Proposed doc fix
-- **Locations within 25 m merge into one pin.** A charger reported by its operator is often in the register too, under another operator name and a few metres away. When the register lists the charger, its location anchors the pin, so the coordinates are the official ones. The station id is built from the anchor's coordinates.
+- **Operator feed locations within 25 m of a pin merge into it.** A charger reported by its operator is often in the register too, under another operator name and a few metres away. When the register lists the charger, its location anchors the pin, so the coordinates are the official ones. Register locations merge with each other only when their coordinates match at 5 decimal places. The station id is built from the anchor's coordinates.

Unpriced chargers went into a priced EV plan at 0 per kWh, so the planner
treated them as free. In Germany about three in four OCPDB pins have no
price, so plans picked them wherever they could and the total came out
far too low. They now compete at the median price of the priced chargers
that pass the filters. Their stop shows kWh only, and the plan shows a
total only when every stop has a real price.
…hor pins by position

- One unparseable record failed every run, so a single bad location from a
  feed would freeze Germany's prices and sweep until a release. Bad records
  are skipped and counted again; the run fails only when more than 0.5 % of
  a collection does not parse, which means the feed's shape changed.
- The 1.00/min cap let fees like 0.40/min from minute 0 and 0.60/min after
  5 min onto the map. Real blocking fees run 0.05-0.24, so the cap is 0.30.
- Pins anchored on upstream order, which the API does not promise, so two
  nearby feed sites could swap anchors and re-mint the pin's id (breaking
  shared links). Equal ranks now go by coordinates.

…t match for time fees

- When no EVSE at a pin's top power had a price, the cheapest EVSE of any
  power stood in, so 101 DC pins showed an AC rate next to "150 kW" (Mer,
  ENTEGA). The stand-in must now be of the same class (DC from 50 kW); a DC
  pin with only an AC price stays unpriced.
- Chargecloud lists an always-on TIME 0.00, then the real fee after 4 h,
  then always-on copies of the fee. We took a copy as the fee and showed
  0.06/min from minute 0 on 251 pins. OCPI takes the first always-on TIME
  element, so later always-on ones are now ignored.
… price

A priced charger whose detour had not come back yet still switched the plan to money and set the stand-in price, though the plan itself could not use that charger. Only chargers the plan can use count now.
The scrapers run inside the app and Node caps its heap at about half the container limit. With 512M the heap runs out while Germany's EV source runs next to other scrapers, which is how the app gets killed.

Thanks, the round of fixes was spot on. I re-ran the end-to-end check, found a few more things and pushed them here so we could merge today:

  • Unpriced chargers were free to the planner. Pricing them at 0 meant a plan picked them wherever it could, and about three in four German pins have no price. They now compete at the median price of the priced chargers that pass the filters, and the plan shows a total only when every stop has a real price. A charger whose detour hasn't come back yet no longer counts toward that median (CodeRabbit's point).
  • One bad record froze Germany. The run now skips the odd unparseable record and fails only above 0.5 % of a collection.
  • DC pins showing AC rates in the fallback. 101 pins with no priced EVSE at their top power took a 22 kW rate (Mer, ENTEGA). The stand-in now has to be the same class, otherwise the pin stays unpriced.
  • Chargecloud time fees. They list TIME 0.00, then the real fee after 4 h, then always-on copies of it, so 251 pins showed the fee from minute 0. OCPI takes the first always-on TIME element, so the copies are ignored now (133380 gives 0.06 after 240 min).
  • Per-minute cap down to 0.30, which drops 0.40/min-from-0 and 0.60/min-after-5 outliers.
  • Pin anchors tie-break on coordinates instead of upstream order, so ids stay stable.
  • Memory. Production was already running out of heap every night with BNetzA, because the app is capped at 512M and Node gives the heap about half. I raised our deployment to 1.5 GB and the sample compose in the docs says the same.

The final run on today's feed gave 77,078 stations and 25,468 priced. The handover retired exactly the ocm-/bnetza- rows, a repeat run changed nothing, and lint, tsc, the build and all 891 tests pass.
