The name works well for the intended use.

However it limits the use of the tag.

For example .. a tourist might be able to charge their phone/etc in a 
cafe/pub when they stop for a drink/meal. It may not be a 'designated 
device charging station' but the hardware is there.
Normally you would ask before use .. but it is handy to know so a 
selection could be made before entry and asking. Use of the access key 
could use used to signify the asking condition.

Thus I think the name needs to be more universal, so that it may be used 
for any power socket, preferably ones that are available for use (not 
access=private! :-) ).

The value 'power_socket' might suit?

The keys 'amenity' or 'man_made' are applicable ...
