What is DIMO?
DIMO (Digital Infrastructure for Moving Objects) is a vehicle data platform that gives developers one permissioned API for live telemetry across 50+ brands, including Tesla, Ford and BMW. Developers create a free account at console.dimo.org and query location, battery, odometer and fault codes through GraphQL and REST endpoints.
How DIMO works
DIMO sits between vehicles and developers.
Data comes from 50+ carmaker connections, such as the Tesla cloud API, from DIMO's own OBD-II hardware, or from a fleet's existing telematics devices under its bring-your-own-device option. Signals including location, speed, battery or fuel level, odometer, door lock state and diagnostic trouble codes are normalized and stored on encrypted DIMO storage nodes. Update frequency runs from 30 seconds to real time, depending on the vehicle and connection.
Access is controlled by the Service Access Contract Definition (SACD), a public permissions contract. A developer requests specific data, the owner approves or declines through DIMO Connect after signing in with an email plus a passkey or one-time passcode, and anyone can audit what was shared. With approval, your app exchanges its Developer JWT and the vehicle's tokenId for a Vehicle JWT limited to those permissions, then queries the Telemetry API.
How to start with DIMO
- Create an account at console.dimo.org and register a Developer License, which is free.
- The license name is public and unique on the network, and each license gets a client ID that starts with 0x.
- Generate an API key and store the secret yourself, because DIMO shows it only once, then add at least one redirect URI; localhost works while you build.
- The Data SDK covers TypeScript/Node.js, Python and .NET, and a React SDK handles the login and sharing flow.
DIMO fees and limits
- Every plan adds $1.25 per connected vehicle per month.
- Core costs $349 per month billed annually, or $399 month to month, and includes 100 vehicles, higher request limits, bring-your-own-data and storage.
The pricing page labels its plans as early-bird pricing, available for a limited time and subject to change. The Hobbyist plan is free with no credit card and includes one AI agent, pay-as-you-go AI and the built-in MCP servers. Enterprise is priced by quote, with custom SLAs and on-premise deployment. Payments run through Stripe and are charged up front as credits in your account. Visa, Mastercard and Amex cards are accepted; ACH transfers and invoicing are Enterprise-only, and crypto payment goes through sales. Upgrades take effect immediately, downgrades at the next billing cycle, and there is no long-term contract.
Risks to know before using DIMO
- Your app only gets data an owner agrees to share through SACD, and owners can revoke access.
- DIMO's developer terms, issued by DIMO Network, Inc., require you to use data only within the scopes a user granted and for the purposes you disclosed, and to honor revocation promptly.
- You are responsible for all activity under your API credentials, and DIMO does not store API secrets, so a lost secret means generating a new key.
- Developer License details are publicly viewable through DIMO's Identity API, though your email and API keys are not.
- The FAQ says the platform supports GDPR and CCPA rights such as access, deletion and portability, and that data belongs to the vehicle owner rather than to DIMO, so plan your product around consent that can be withdrawn.
