Hello András! as Lulu-Ann wrote, we have uploaded the electric charging stations.
In this case, we got an ansi-file from the provider with each data record in one line. The data for each record were separated by tabs (.csv), including the coordinates in wgs84 coordinate system. There is no restriction to this file format, but we would recommend this, so we can easy use the already existing converter, which brings such a file to a xml-format, which is usable by one of the osm editors, josm. If the coordinate are in another coordinate system, we should be able to convert them, too. We would prefere as much data as possibly for every station. We have some tags for the different gasoline types (octane_95, diesel, hgv-diesel, and also gas like lpg and cng). Furthermore, we could code opening times for the stations, payments and so on. Please visit our wiki page for fuel stations in [1]. Because of the higher number of stations and more than country, we would separate them by country and look for country specific importers. We have already one interested importer for slovakia. Or you can import them self, if you want. I could help you then, if you want. Do you have sample data or the complete dataset to send it to me, so i could take a test conversion?
