Hi UK community (those living here and those living elsewhere)
Since socket:tesla_supercharger_ccs on EV charging stations is now deprecated I intent to replace instances of it with socket:type2_combo. I will do this in JOSM using an Overpass query to obtain the data. I will also update socket:tesla_supercharger_ccs:output.
Please let me know if you have any feedback.
I have already gone through and updated Superchargers in the UK with access tags for whether they are ‘Tesla only’ or ‘Open to All’.
Note: I will not touch socket:tesla_supercharger yet as it is not immediately clear if these should be replaced with type2 or type2 combo. Thoughts welcome on how best to do that (@GA_Kevin got us access to the supercharge.info dataset so that might be the best option…)
Hi Rob! I am not sure what you do in the UK to distinguish between the Tesla access but here in the US we use:
OSM Values
Meaning
access=yes socket:nacs
All Tesla partner vehicles can charge here with a personal adapter. “Open to other EVs”
access=yes socket:nacs socket:type1_combo
All Tesla partner vehicles can charge here and an adapter is provided. “Magic Dock”
access=customers socket:nacs
Only Tesla vehicles may charge here. “V2 Station”
Obviously you’d use socket:type2_combo:*=* but maybe that would be helpful. When I did the import of Supercharge.info I used that as a guide from their open to other EVs info. I added this to the US Charging Station page I’m working on:
I’ve updated nearly all the socket:tesla_supercharger in the US to be NACS, so I see no reason not to proceed with the same elsewhere (NACS was the main concern of data consumers acceptance).
As far as type2 or combo, I think that just makes. difference with DC vs AC power, right? All superchargers I know are DC, destination chargers are a whole other can of worms.
