[Talk-GB] Proposal: Import EV charging point data

[Steven Hirschorn]

I've uploaded the geojson file (along with the source data and other
files and scripts) here:
https://github.com/milh0use/charging_points/blob/master/sl_osm.geojson

I've emailed Source London asking about the way they generated the geo
co-ordinates, but in the meantime while I wait for their response, I'd
be grateful if one or two people could glance at the markers and the
tags I've selected and let me know if I can make improvements. I
haven't tried the conflation exercise yet.
Here's the amenity:charging_station wiki page too, to save anyone
searching: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcharging_station

Thanks,
