And there is this ...

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_supply

power_supply=nema_5_15 for usa...

There is no USB one there (yet) ..usb_typea, usb_typeb etc... ?

it is not a proposal as yet .. but does not identify it self as vehicle related.
Charging points are avlible in some libraries too ..

Might be time to move thetag power_supply= to a proposal.
