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 each socket type, tag the count socket:<type> and any further tags 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. | |
| socket:<type>:voltage | Voltage in volts, numeric, without unit and thousands delimiters; e.g., 400. |
