Hi David, It does not looks like anybody is actually using the car=* tag along with the amenity=charging_station. The wiki, is probably not documenting what is in the database. I would use the JOSM mirror plugin, or overpass API and download all of the existing 2100 amenity=charging_station features, and see what people are actually using. The taginfo, combinations is empty!
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=amenity&value=charging_station#combinations If nobody is tagging car=* on the charging nodes, then import it with the consistent names and update the wiki, since you will be establishing actual tagging practice in this import. Thanks Jason.
