Indeed I intend to create my own website with a database that
"synchronizes" with other sites. So the bulk operations will be limited
to initially filling the
database and synchronize changes that might arise e.g. from checking
records against user databases. For the edit operations i intend to link
directly to the
source of the data so if someone needs to modify info on a charging
station he can do so directly e.g. in openchargemap or openstreetmap.

I just wonder if cross checking has ever been attempted?
At https://help.openstreetmap.org/tags/charging_station/ is see only
seven questions from the last two years so far while the amenity
charging_station tag seems to be some 7 years old.
