I mean, people use amenity=charging_station [1], which has a name=* tag. And I think Europe imported a bunch of these over a decade ago. Maybe it's ME who is behind the curve here? Dian and/or Phil linked this / raised this already. Regarding what Warin says, OSM just MIGHT be either "a" or

There is also a "site relation" [1] (a relation with type=site), useful as a grouping at a single site. I'm not saying this is how EV things have been done, are or will be, rather something to consider as a "might be." These are relations so it's good for them to be orderly and structured,

Hey Andrew, I'm not sure I agree with you that naming a supercharger is equivalent to the naming of a supermarket branch. To me, the supercharger seems more akin to a petrol pump, and while you might map individual pumps only the service station would be named. Phil raises a good point

I agree with you here. In my view OSM aim should be to have the charger mapped with a 'name' and/or reference so other data consumers can find and relink with additional information. On 16 December 2022 6:55:53 pm AEDT, Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote: > >On 16/12/22 09:54, Phil Wyatt

Yes indeed, charging cost is something that is already in flux give the general rise of energy cost and it is going to hopefully be showing cost benefits when we charge during the day when the sun is high. I agree that this is an attribute that is better left off since it will likely not age
