Hello David, welcome, nice to have you here ;-)
As I am only sparsely contributing myself, I can't help you directly with your effort. But I like the idea nevertheless and I agree that it is important to have an up to date and accurate map of charging spots. One thing, that comes to my mind is, that you should make sure, that the type of any given charging station is present along with some technical data. AFAIK there are several charging post types across Germany which are incompatible to each other. Yes, it's a pain... Here in Hannover, we don't seem to be to numerous. At least this list isn't particular noisy ;-) So please be patient... If you should happen to not get lucky over here, I'd suggest you try the mailing lists of (bigger) neighboring (kind of) Cities. Hamburg (https://lists.openstreetmap.de/mailman/listinfo/hamburg), Berlin (https://lists.openstreetmap.de/mailman/listinfo/berlin) or Dortmund (https://lists.openstreetmap.de/mailman/listinfo/dortmund) could be decent starting points. And they are perfectly capable of updating the map around Hannover as well ;-) Good luck to you.
