That makes it worse! You kid. 
I must say you have peaked my interest in doing charging stations in OSM.
I gave up a few years ago because the standard/agreement was so bad but the wiki and general consensus has improved a lot now and I think the sockets for tesla stuff is fixable.
Iām looking to do an overhaul of the Name Suggestion Index stuff to get that up to speed and Iāll chip on the wiki to get things improved.
Regarding these AFDB changes in general. It would be nice if you could match up some of the data with the NSI. Rivian Adventure Network, etc.
I know some arenāt there yet. BP pulse is an obvious omission in the US,
It can be tricky with operator and brand tags too for the EVGO ones that partner with pilot/flying J so not sure what the brand /operator is there and Iām not sure at all what you should do with Chargepoint as they are often branded differently. EA also cobrands a lot.
This is most an American issue as Europe doesnāt have many like this and I canāt think of many case in the rest of the world but the US started the blurring of the lines of true CPOs with Iāll call them ācharging networksā. Tesla are doing this too with their selling superchargers to others and they can brand them but be a charging network and with Tesla as the traditional CPO. I think this trend will continue worldwide.
It would easier to just go with what the AFDB but Iām not sure that would be correct - although struggling to concrete formula for optimum solutions. I would be interested in your thoughts, Obviously imports are good and that is your goal here but I want a robust framework for what we should call all of these in the future for the whole of OSM.
Also you use the name tag as the same as the brand/operator. That goes against the wiki (which is questionable as it the signpost.) but maybe the wiki needs changing.
