Charging stations (sites or individual chargers?)

Let me rephrase that, in terms of petrol/diesel infrastructure - yes, I would like to be able to tell the difference between an “amenity=fuel” and a “man_made=fuel_pump”. Currently I render the former and ignore the latter (see the pumps such as this one here).

Indeed - but we currently have one of two situations (continuing the petrol analogy):

  • amenity=fuel” mapped, but not any “man_made=fuel_pump
  • Each “man_made=fuel_pump” mapped, with no surrounding “amenity=fuel

We don’t have a situation today where people have mapped bothamenity=fuel” and “man_made=fuel_pump” on different objects at the same site, with the same tag. If we did, we’d have to change the tagging on one of them to know which was which.

You seem to be suggesting using “amenity=charging_station” for both the equivalent of “amenity=fuel” and “man_made=fuel_pump” on different objects at the same site, which means that I wouldn’t be able to tell which was which there.
