It looks like amenity=charging_station is documented in the wiki as only for 
nodes. As they don’t let you use your mobile phones or jump start cars on 
petrol station forecourts, I suspect that any charging stations will be 
positioned far enough from the pumps area that a separate node to indicate the 
location makes sense. Most that I’ve seen so far have been in parking areas 
(supermarkets, Center Parcs, etc.)

Subject: [Talk-GB] Quarterly project: Petrol stations

 

Hi all,

Just to let you know that I have re-set up the TagInfo scripts that get daily 
data about our quarterly projects. I hadn't realised that it had stopped some 
time in mid-2017 so assume not many people use this.

 

As a reminder, it is a script that collects data from TagInfo UK on a daily 
basis and saves it to a google spreadsheet. I have set it up to track 
amenity=fuel for this quarterly project:

Do we want one as well for amenity=charging_station? I'm personally not sure as 
it looks like in the future there will be a roll out of EV super-chargers at 
existing amenity=fuel sites rather than at stand-alone charging facilities.

 

p.s. How do I indicate that a petrol station also has EV charging capability? 
The wiki on fuels [1] doesn't allow for this and only mentions electricity in 
the case of BBQs!
