[talk-au] 'Named' EV chargers

[Phil Wyatt]

Thanks Warin,

 

Its pretty obvious that most are not real names but actually descriptions or operators/networks and locations

My thoughts:

 

I wouldn't remove the names. It's a big call to say that this thing definitely does not have a name, when someone else says it does, especially if 50% have a name.

 

"Tesla supercharger" is not an individual name, probably a brand. And there would be many that have that "name" in the world. It would be like tagging some petrol stations with 'name=Shell'. 

The easiest thing to do is change the key 'name' to 'description', that way OSM looses no information. 

Then add tags for brand/operator/ref/*.

Hi Folks,

 

Thoughts on 'named' EV chargers? Around 50% of chargers in Oz have some 'name'.

 

Most look to be adding the either the location or name of the operator etc (ie Freds Shop, XYZ carpark, Tesla supercharger etc), I suspect so it gets rendered on the map. 

 

Are folks happy if I remove the names. I will ensure that no details are lost by making sure any operator or network details gets added to the correct tags.

 

(I will also post to Oceania Forum and Discord)
