What is really being tagged here?

The socket.

So tag "electrical_socket=USB/*"??
That clearly says what it is, not a power generating station or some other thing that could be construed in to a 'power supply'.

Add tags access=customers/* fee=no/yes/* and
for the detailed types of mappers voltage=*, frequency=*.
The type of socket will usually determine the maximum current/power so I'd not tag that.
