EV Charge points requiring BYO cables

General talk
1

Hi Folks,

Is there any consensus on how to tag EV charging points that require you to bring your own cables?

2

Most socket tags are defined for either stations with or without cable. E.g. there is type2 for the socket only and type2_cable for a station with cable attached. For other sockets there is only one key, because they either always have a cable attached (type1) or never (all the domestic sockets).

Is that documented anywhere? Only two instances worldwide (socket=type2_cable)!

OK - so…

socket:type2_cable = 0 or
socket:type2=1

if its BYO cable?

Surprised there is only one socket:type2_cable in the USA

Type 2 sockets/plugs are not in use in the US so no surprise.

The tags are documented in the Wiki:
