Talk:Tag:man made=charge point
Naming
As a man_made=charge_point is not related to the charge point, but the stall, I think this tag should be renamed to something more meaningful, something like "dispenser", "stall"... StephaneP (talk) 04:44, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I think the first sentence of the page addresses this:
The charge point tag is used to map the individual physical charging devices (sometimes also known as "dispensers" or "stalls") at charging station sites, like fuel pumps at fuel stations for combustion vehicles. Each charge point usually has one or two connectors or cables for charging electric vehicles.
While I reside in an area where charging points are referred to as dispensers, most of the standards that exist around EV charging stations and EVSEs refer to the dispensers as EV charge points [1] [2]. I'll admit this is made extra confusing because ChargePoint, an operator/brand/network of charging stations and manufacturer of charge points, also exists. -- KevinMapsThings (talk) 01:06, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
