First problem is that goes against the design of amenity=parking_space. Somebody will then decide to have amenity=disabled_parking_space rather than use the appropriate subtag with amenity=parking_space. I'm not saying amenity=parking_space is perfect, but it's there and I hesitate to invent yet another way of doing things. Second problem is that a car parked there to charge is actually parked there. So it's still a parking space, in the same way that a disabled parking space is still a parking space. There are restrictions on who can use it, but it's still a parking space. Third problem is that although the ones my local supermarket recently installed have signs (which,so far, are being completely ignored) saying they are only for charging, in other places (particularly as charging stations become more common) such spaces may not be restricted to charging but allow parking of any kind. In fact it's very likely to happen whenever/wherever the proportion of charging spaces is significantly larger than the proportion of electric vehicles. Your method does not permit such dual-use situations to be mapped. -- Paul
