I recall these discussions vaguely.
Was not one of the reasons for removing them from the map as the rangers or gov
wanted them to be renaturatin etc. So from that perspective I understand why
not having them in a map is in their interests.

Good point, supercharger and most likely any fast chargers do come in
multiples. As in one fuel station with many pumps.
I would take the same approach, map the 'station' first. For Tesla Supercharger
you could indicate the model which in turn defines the max charging current etc.
On 26
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.

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.

Hello all,
As an EV driver I think that some charge stations have names.
I do agree that 'Tesla Supercharger ' is not a name with much value. Tesla has
names in their app for these charging stations, e.g. 'Tesla Supercharger
Hollydene, NSW' or 'Tesla Supercharger Central Coast, NSW'. For the

a lifecycle or damaged attribute that hard to assess from the image quality.
This is also the approach I recall from HOT disaster mapping. Roads and
building from satellite, destruction details from ground crew.
