[Tagging] [Voting] Feature Proposal - EV Charging Station Mapping

[NKA mapper]

Voting has started for the EV Charging Station Mapping proposal.

Link to proposal:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/EV_Charging_Station_Mapping

Background:

Currently, some users create one amenity=charging_station node (or area) to
represent a charging location, regardless of the number of charging points
at the location. Other users map each individual charge point within a
charging location as a separate amenity=charging_station node. This second
approach creates duplicate entries in search results and elsewhere. As the
number of charging stations are growing rapidly it would be helpful to
clarify how charging stations should be mapped

Following a long discussion on the OSM community site, I propose certain
clarifications on how to map and tag EV charging stations. The definition
of amenity=charging_station will change slightly and will represent both
locations with a single charge point and locations with a group of
chargers. A new optional feature, man_made=charge_point will be created to
separate detailed mapping of each charge point from the main
amenity=charging_station feature at locations. The proposal has been
updated following feedback during the RFC process.

This announcement has been cross posted to the community forum.
