There is also a "site relation" [1] (a relation with type=site), useful as a grouping at a single site. I'm not saying this is how EV things have been done, are or will be, rather something to consider as a "might be." These are relations so it's good for them to be orderly and structured, and "at a single site" pretty much goes without saying.
As EVs and their charging stations evolve, grow, move, merge and multiply (along with smart parking lots with solar roofs, smarter grids infrastructure...), I think there remains a good deal yet of fluidity in this sort of tagging. We do have regional trends, it appears. We do have fluidity in tagging, it appears. OSM is strong enough and smart enough and fast enough to "flow with this" in real time. Getting big, hugging arms around it all I think will take some time, and will smear a bit as it does, though we are getting there. In California, these sorts of things are popping up a LOT, like at "truck stop parking areas" and "state Department of Transportation Rest Stops," grocery store parking lots and municipal or "corporate yard" lots / shops. Public parking and private parking alike; supply and demand. Some areas have "smart parking" at "just drove into this zone off the freeway and a right turn ahead means they have over 500 available parking spaces." On digital signs that update through the neighborhood's main drag, live / in real time. Entire bus networks using electric vehicles. I often think we choke on our current transportation systems, (which often feel last-century), though, slowly and surely, it does seem to be getting greener and smarter around here. There's even a nascent hydrogen network. And in my backyard, "we have ignition" (as in net-positive fusion). >From cold and rainy winter California, Happy Holidays, Happy '23, mates. that Yank Stevea (in our/OSM's wiki, though not usually or maybe even ever in Australia/ wiki) [1] https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Relation:site <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:site> _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
