<div>That would be the two major drawbacks with the current proposal:<br></div><div>A. No possibility to have several plug types at the same node.</div><div>B. No clear way of sharing a node with amenity=fuel.</div><div><br>
</div><div>A: The the same scheme as for "liquid" fuels could be used (i.e. fuel:e85=yes/no, fuel:diesel=yes/no, et.cet). Something like "charging_station:plug:VDE-AR-E-2623-2-2=yes/no" would be nice, and easy to expand with "charging_station:battery:AAA"...</div>
<div><br></div><div>B: Data miners and alikes should be able to gather info regarding charging facilities from a amenity=fuel if it has tags matching "charging_station:*". The other way around would of course also be possible, if an charging_station also offers something like fuel:e85.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">For charging stations it seems exceptionally important to define the plug style<br>
available. A charging station with the wrong plug is just as useful as a gas station<br>
offering only nuclear fuel pellets.<br>
<br>
The trick is to standardize on names for each of the various charging paddle styles,<br>
and also allow for multiple types at one location.<br><font color="#888888">
