Bit long winded... how about

vehicle_charging .. for motor vehicles

bicycle_charging   .. for bicycles

and

power_socket  .. for power sockets ...

the are all different things .. with different appearances and 
requirements.

This would get away from those presently tagged and provide for a clean 
definition.

They could all use the same socket= tag just as they would use the same 
access, fee tags.

Maybe the boaties will have boat_charging too? :-)     Just thinking of 
the future.
