There are two types of "big sides" (as far as charging is concerned):
USB 1/2/3 which we all know, and then there's USB type C - new,
reversible - not compatible cable-wise.
Also the max. charging current might be useful to know. At 500mA it
takes a loooooooong time to charge a tablet - so knowing there's a 2.1A
source round the corner is important information!
And then there's the Power Delivery specs, which allow for up to 5A @
20V. Don't know if there are any public charging points with PD but it
sure would be useful to know, if you happen to own a device which can
use it.

I tend to agree but it makes rendering more difficult, maybe we should
make indeed a transition to vehicle_charging_station 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. _______________________________________________
