Charge Station Fast Charge tagging

When I see a new charging station it’s for me “OK” and plant a node on the map with basal tags, operator and such, capacity in charging points and parking spaces I will squeeze in. The rest of plug types and whatnot doesn’t interest me and those that actually drive an E-Car probably neither since all of them have an app of the CSP on their phone to dial in or scan to activate or search there CSP’s website where one is of their brand to then on arrival plug in their own cable (see many with just sockets) or the cable at the CS (all the fast charge do have cables at site).

With those basal tags, I do recognize if it’s a regular or a fast charge, many a point having a sign saying maxstay 60 minutes as more than a few like to use the CS as free parking in town.

For me and others not really interested in more than the basal, is there a tag to say normal or fast-charge? Searching TagInfo, sorting by key value looking for anything fast on charging stations brings up fast_food and various hydrocarbon based values like fuel:octane_95, 98… there seems to be a high rate of pollution in what gets tagged under charging_station. Anyway, if there is a tag, please share it or make one up for us in the KISS that fits in the established tagging scheme. One that I would make up as ATYL probably will be one of the NATIL nature.

Thx

Quantitatively, the best thing would be to tag socket:<blah>:output=___ kW or perhaps charging_station:output=__ kW.

If you don’t know the tag or the output, probably the maxstay is the best thing to tag.

Otherwise we’re just depending on marketing of “fast charge” to determine what’s “fast charge” (e.g. is 50 kW fast charge already? some people would say it’s not fast below 150 kW or whatever now).

If commonly used name includes “fast” I guess it can go in the name, e.g. “Fairview Mall Fast Charger”.

For taginfo for tag combinations you should probably be looking at amenity=charging_station | Tags | OpenStreetMap Taginfo

Grosso modo having peered into a few, they’re 150Kw with the exception of one which had regular points an one pillar doing 150 on 1 side and 50 on the other, the cables were identically of a heavy type. All have tow signs, some being on parkings with digital license plate reading to record arrival/departure, overstay risking a 40 Euro charge to top it off.

Here’s the one that fired up my question, picture in drive-by, an all-in-one, 2 spots, fat cable, medium cable, slim cable. The supermarket parking itself where this one is on has the maxstay=120 minutes + overstay=40 Euro’s, digital license plate readers to keep all visitors straight.
