Proposal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_station Charging stations supply energy for electric vehicles, like gas stations do for conventional vehicles. There are some different types of charging stations. E-Bikes e.g. can be charged at an domestic wall socket.

Rationale

Very useful for navigating on an E-Bike, E-Scooter, Segway or electric car.

Old way of tagging

This proposal will deprecate:

• fuel:electricity=*

Charging stations will no longer be tagged as

• amenity=fuel

(but this tag is not deprecated, of course, because it is still used for liquid fuels.)

More Tags for charging stations

• If it's possible to load simultaniouly more than once a time charging_station:capacity=*
  • This is for cars. Use charging_station:capacity:motorbike=* for motorbikes.
• voltage in Volts voltage=*
  • preferred new: voltage:400=yes, voltage:230=yes, because some charging stations offer both!
• amperage in Amperes amperage=*
  • Same like with voltage.
• operator operator=*
• payment=*

Frequently used combinations

• power_supply=yes/no/type (for caravans, tents etc.)
• charging=pedelec (What can be charged at this station)
• Do not count a parking space for charging only as an ordinary parking space. You might want to use capacity:charging=*

Payment

You can use the values for payment like in vending_machine=*.

Examples

There are some websites, where you can find charging stations.[1][2][3][4][5]

Opinion poll

• I like this proposal. Let's vote on it! --Lulu-Ann 12:33, 6 May 2011 (BST)

Shouldn't we set the status from Draft to proposal first, and improve the whole thing before we start the voting? ;) I think you know better, what to do next, because I'm still a newbie here. --Rockhuhn 16:17, 19 May 2011 (BST)

• I like this proposal. i agree with Lulu-Ann about the vote. Looking forward for a complete deprecation of fuel:electricity and a render of amenity=charging_station on mapnik,osmarender and cyclemap.--Giardia 16:25, 6 June 2011 (BST)

• I like this proposal. I start driving my EV next week so this feature can't be added soon enough for my liking. Can we bulk import data from http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/data_download/ ? CloneLot 08:38, 17 April 2012 (BST)
