My thoughts:

I wouldn't remove the names. It's a big call to say that this thing definitely does not have a name, when someone else says it does, especially if 50% have a name.


"Tesla supercharger" is not an individual name, probably a brand. And there would be many that have that "name" in the world. It would be like tagging some petrol stations with 'name=Shell'.

The easiest thing to do is change the key 'name' to 'description', that way OSM looses no information.

Then add tags for brand/operator/ref/*.

    Hi Folks,

    Thoughts on 'named' EV chargers? Around 50% of chargers in Oz have
    some 'name'.

    Most look to be adding the either the location or name of the
    operator etc (ie Freds Shop, XYZ carpark, Tesla supercharger etc),
    I suspect so it gets rendered on the map.

    Are folks happy if I remove the names. I will ensure that no
    details are lost by making sure any operator or network details
    gets added to the correct tags.

    (I will also post to Oceania Forum and Discord)

    Cheers - Phil
