taginfo: socket:* |
This key may be used anywhere that electric power is supplied for the public or customers. It specifies the type and number of sockets that can be used concurrently. Likely uses are in electric vehicle charging stations, mains hook-ups in campsites, and shore-power connections for boats. It is also often used to indicate mobile phone and other small devices charging interfaces (USB-A, etc.)
How to map
For any relevant object and each socket type, further tag the number socket:<type> and any other attributes socket:<type>:*.
Do not tag socket=*, as it is without meaning or definition.
Tags
Key | Value | Description | Photo |
---|---|---|---|
socket:<type> | Availability of socket type, either specific count as integral numeric (e.g., 2) or non-specific yes. | Availability, preferably count, of the sockets of the specified type that can be used concurrently at that charging station. | |
socket:<type>:current | Current in amperes, numeric; e.g., 16. | The maximum current that can be sourced from a single socket of the specified type at that charging station. | |
socket:<type>:output | Power in kilowatts, numeric; e.g., 50. (a unit can be added, 50 kW). | The maximum power that can be sourced from a single socket of the specified type at that charging station. | Output in kW marked on the socket cradle. |
socket:<type>:voltage | Voltage in volts, numeric, without unit and thousands delimiters; e.g., 400. |

|||
cee_red_16a | Industrial | Germany
Poland |
IEC 60309 3P+N+E, 6h earth pin, red, 350–415 V AC, 16, 32, 63, 125 A, colloquially known as CEE red. There are different sizes for each current rating, with those for more current being larger. Plugs and sockets of different current ratings are not compatible. |

IEC 62196-2 Type 2, or VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2 plug, colloquially known as Mennekes. Common in Europe. May have "AC" labelling to distinguish from Tesla chargers using visually similar set of pins[1]. This tag should be used if there is no cable permanently attached to the charger, but has been used for stations with cable as well. |
|||
type2_cable | Car |
IEC 62196-2 Type 2, or VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2 plug, colloquially known as Mennekes. Common in Europe. May have "AC" labelling to distinguish from Tesla chargers using visually similar set of pins[2]. This tag should be used if there is a cable permanently attached to the charger. Before the addition of this value (in June 2020), objects will have used the value type2. There is no impediment to any resurvey or update to such tagging. |
||||
type2_combo | Car | IEC 62196-2 Type 2, or VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2, combined charging system (CCS) plugs, with 2, larger, extra pins for DC charging.
