That's more like it!
Really what's critical here is no so much that it's a charging station,
but rather than the presence of the compatible plug.
And if you flip it around, each fuel type could start gathering other
important attributes:
VDE-AR-E-2623-2-2:plug=yes
VDE-AR-E-2623-2-2:cost=free
VDE-AR-E-2623-2-2:stalls=10
VDE-AR-E-2623-2-2:vertical_clearance=9ft
diesel:fuel=yes
diesel:vertical_clearance=17ft
USB-Micro-B:plug=yes
USB-Micro-B:cost=free
USB-Micro-B:note=Located near the telephones
Thus you could have a parking lot or a toilet that offers charging....
in addition to the more common (and more likely to be shown on a map)
fueling or charging stations.

I would definitely vote no on the proposal until a standard dictionary
of fuel / charging plug types is kept.

That would be the two major drawbacks with the current proposal:
A. No possibility to have several plug types at the same node.
B. No clear way of sharing a node with amenity=fuel.
A: The the same scheme as for "liquid" fuels could be used (i.e.
fuel:e85=yes/no, fuel:diesel=yes/no, et.cet). Something like
"charging_station:plug:VDE-AR-E-2623-2-2=yes/no" would be nice, and
easy to expand with "charging_station:battery:AAA"...
B: Data miners and alikes should be able to gather info regarding
charging facilities from a amenity=fuel if it has tags matching
"charging_station:*". The other way around would of course also be
possible, if an charging_station also offers something like fuel:e85.

For charging stations it seems exceptionally important to define
the plug style
available. A charging station with the wrong plug is just as
useful as a gas station
offering only nuclear fuel pellets.
The trick is to standardize on names for each of the various
charging paddle styles,
and also allow for multiple types at one location.
