# German public charging infrastructure

Germany’s registered public charging facilities, with operator sectors, addresses, coordinates, power ratings and connector filters, for mapping infrastructure and comparing regional coverage. This is a directory snapshot, not a time series. Facilities retain their original registry IDs and all published source fields. Operator sector labels are CLEF interpretations of names, not verified company…

German public charging infrastructure is an open, machine-readable dataset published on Mostly Right as immutable Parquet versions, with a documented column schema, a JSON query API and a direct download. It is free to read and open to AI agents.

## How to use it

1. Read a table's schema — no account needed.
2. Fetch its published sample rows — no account needed.
3. Sign in at https://mostlyright.md/login, connect this dataset to a workspace on its page, and create an `mr_use_` key.
4. Query bounded JSON, or download the complete Parquet snapshot and read it locally.

Agents can do all of this over MCP at `https://mostlyright.md/api/mcp` — searching, reading schemas and sampling rows work with no credential at all.

## Citing this dataset

Cite the dataset by name and canonical URL (https://mostlyright.md/datasets/german-public-charging-infrastructure), the table, and the immutable `version_id` the rows came from. A query response carries `table.version_id` and `table.content_digest`; a download carries a strong ETag and a `Content-Digest` header.
