          <div>they populate drop-downs from the wiki, so when you map a

          <div>will include yes, no, private, vehicle_charging_only.

          <div>The one I want to map is in a supermarket car park and
            the parking spaces are only big</div>
          <div>enough for a car.  But larger vehicles also use that car
            park, with RVs being frequent and</div>
          <div>the UK intends to have all motor vehicles be electric at
            some future date.  Eventually</div>
          <div> the supermarket will have a few charging points with
            spaces that can accept RVs.<br>
          </div>
          <div>Supermarket car parks may never cater to HGVs but other
            places will have to, given the range</div>
          <div> of electric vehicles.  I'd prefer it if we don't come up
            with something that only works for cars</div>
          <div>and a few years down the line wish we'd done it
            differently because we now have to handle</div>
          <div>other types of vehicle.</div>
