Electric car charging stations not included on our Layers #334

Closed barbeau closed 8 years ago

In the "Layers" view, if you turn on the layer for electric car charging stations, click on the marker, and then click on "Charge Point' in the marker popup, it takes you to the Chargepoint website.

Their website shows several additional car charging stations near USF that we don't currently have mapped:

We should confirm that these exist, and if so add them to our electric car charging layer.

Here is the output of the chargepoint API endpoint for the USF area as shown above:

It looks like all of those stations are managed by Chargepoint, and "verified". Only the temple terrace and ferman nissan stations are "gray" on the map, the others are green. Further, Ferman nissan is listed as a station on Google Maps, FWIW.

I think it is safe to add these to the map, but we should probably adjust the description since the current notice about USF permits doesn't apply to non-USF stations. Perhaps we can just use some of the data from the API above? (# ports, name, address, description)

Also note that USF (http://www.usf.edu/administrative-services/parking/parking/ev-charging-stations.aspx) only lists the 2 locations that we have listed, although chargepoint lists at least the 1 other (Patel). If we include those, perhaps we should see if that list should be updated as well?

Also, note the site that Mohan found which might be useful for adding more EV-related functionality: http://openchargemap.org/site

Added in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/42363911, and PR with some supporting changes coming shortly
