General
Affected tag(s) to be modified/added: socket
Question asked: Which sockets does this charging station have (all charging points combined)?
Checklist
Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):
as an EV driver the locations of charging stations are not worth much if the charging station does not have the appropriate socket for my vehicle, e.g. some electric motocycles or small electric cars can only charge using household sockets while larger vehicles use "special" EV charging connectors.
In general a charging station without the matching socket is as useful to an EV driver as a filling station only serving petrol is to a driver of a diesel car :-).
Ideas for implementation
Element selection:
Any amenity:charging_station which has no
sockets or where the number ofsockets combined is less than the station's capacity.While a charging station can have more sockets available than parking spaces, the other way around does not make much sense :-)
Proposed UI:
A list of connectors (with count and maximum charging power). The connector types could be visualised using pictures as it done e.g. for street surfaces.
The maximum charging power is usually printed on the charge point and in most cases voltage/current can be deduced from it, e.g.:
(However, I don't know how much the voltage/current matters for DC charging (i.e. CCS), because AFAIK when DC charging the EV's battery is connected directly to the charger which will then use the appropriate voltage and current required to charge the battery.)
