Cap HPI announces major update to EV data

Cap HPI has announced that it will be updating its EV data as a result of increasing customer demand for EV and hybrid vehicles.

The residual value expert has created a list of fields to cater for the variables within the category, including four stages of battery charge speed relating to all the different manufacturer information along with more standard fields, and will bring them into force from July 1.

Cap HPI’s head of OEM, Jon Bulloch (pictured), said: “Following unprecedented demand, we’re delighted to present the latest release of Electric Vehicle New Vehicle Data.

"Cap HPI’s team of data experts has worked very closely with manufacturers across the industry to provide a comprehensive guide to nearly 200 electric and hybrid derivatives available in the UK market.”

The new set of fields will be available in four formats in total, Enhanced ASCII, NVD SQL, NVD CSV (Car Enhanced Technical CSV) and NVD JSON (Car Enhanced Technical) JSON and will begin to receive updates alongside the standard engine types currently available.

Bulloch said: “This is the first new engine category released into Cap HPI’s comprehensive new vehicle data and it will be available for all customers who purchase the enhanced new vehicle data product.”
