Introducing Paren’s Real-Time API
At Paren, we process every charging event in real time to deliver trustworthy, actionable insights. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the public release of Paren’s Real-Time API — a new standard for reliable and rich EV charging insights.
Moving Beyond Data Aggregation
With the increasing number of charging options, data aggregators emerged as the solution to the proliferation of network-specific applications. This approach helped drivers by centralizing information across networks — powering maps and mobility apps alike.
But aggregation alone has reached its limits. By passing information without processing it, aggregators contribute to charging anxiety by relaying false positives. For instance, a station marked “available” might not be able to complete a charge, leaving drivers stranded and frustrated. Similarly, crowd-sourced reviews, while useful, quickly lose relevance and fail to capture real-time performance.
It’s time for a new platform model that meets driver’s expectations with richer and more reliable insights.
Paren Enriches Data at Scale, With 150 Million Sessions Processed in 2025
In 2025 alone, Paren is on track to process 150 million charging sessions and billions of related events — positioning Paren as the leading data platform for the EV charging industry in North America.
By training on billions of data points, our engine can now interpret performance at a granular level — from port-level reliability to availability, pricing, and nearby amenities.
We’ve seen firsthand that only real-time enrichment — not static aggregation — can provide the reliable insights drivers and operators need.
Paren’s Real-Time API Processes 100 Million Events Daily
After months of R&D, Paren is officially launching its Real-Time API, which now processes an average of 100 million daily events across 13 million monthly fast public charging sessions in the U.S. and Canada.
Our platform aggregates, enriches, and standardizes critical charging insights, including:
- Live availability and estimated wait times over 65,000 ports
- Predicted utilization per hour and per day
- Live reliability scores at the port level
- Real-time pricing (per hour and per kWh)
- Access to nearby amenities, walking distance, and opening hours
Built in collaboration with charge point operators, automakers, ride-share fleets, and government partners, the Real-Time API replaces static updates with dynamic, trustworthy data that evolves as conditions change — bringing transparency and trust back to EV charging.
Standardizing Insights With an API Designed for Modern Mobility
Paren’s API delivers real-time insights through an OCPI-based framework that includes our enriched data elements around reliability.
Supporting the OCPI 2.2.1 and 3.0 standards, the Paren API integrates seamlessly with our partner’s systems - enhanced by a growing list of proprietary data attributes for richer, more actionable insights.
Whether you’re aggregating data, matching users to chargers, or optimizing fleet operations, Paren’s goal is simple: deliver accurate, real-time data that builds confidence for every stakeholder in the EV ecosystem.
Today, Paren unites the industry under one platform, delivering real-time insights across 65,000 fast charging ports — representing 96% of the U.S. and Canadian fast charging network.
