I surveyed this node.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2776570644

I see nothing wrong with what you have done.  You've built upon what
another mapper had already added.  I was so disappointed that another
mapper beat me to the punch. ;-)  Being the slacker that I am, I have
pictures of the Buckeye AZ site to update the wili page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcharging_station.
However, I have not added the pictures yet.  The debate I've had with
myself on mapping these nodes is one or many?  Each Tesla charger takes up
one parking space.  Each charger has an individual reference node.  Blink
and SemaCharge also have a unique reference id per charger.  In the case of
Telsa, the address is actually on the actual 4x8 ish foot electrical walled
off box.  The node was already on the map and that you updated is near
where the box is.  In some respects all this does not matter, because a
person driving a Tesla could find the location...well if it rendered.
Perhaps the next step is to put in a bug report for the main OSM map.  The
challenge is to make a cute icon that would also take into other kinds of
chargers in the rest of the world.

I took notice of what Telsa is trying to accomplish.  The electronic car is
just a toy of the urban environment and is not practical as a regular
vehicle until Tesla came along.  Part of the charging station map almost
looks like the history US route 66.  It looks like you can almost make it
across America now.

You still may want to bring along a Swiss Army knife set of adapters just
to make sure that you don't get stranded.
