Get Started

GETev is an API that will return the Electric Vehicle (EV) status of any UK registered vehicle.

An Electric Vehicle (as defined by the DVLA) is one that is powered purely by battery and has zero tailpipe emissions. Hybrid vehicles which run on a combination of battery and fossil fuels are not regarded as EVs by the DVLA or this service.

To use the API, make an HTTPS GET request to api.getev.uk with the Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) appended to the URL like this:

                     curl https://api.getev.uk/VRN

The VRN is not case sensitive and it must not include any spaces between letters/numbers.

Responses are in JSON format.

Here are some example JSON responses.
