Electric vehicles use different types of plugs for charging. If a particular charging station doesn't support a particular socket then the user can't use that station. Users should be able to search for charging stations with plugs that work with their vehicle.
Proposed Solution
Using the socket tag , one can specify what is supported by the particular charging station.
In the U.S. the most common ones are:
type1
type1_combo
chademo
tesla_standard
tesla_supercharger
Maybe show a small graphic next to each option so people know what socket is what. Also, some charging stations support multiple sockets on a single station so the ability to provide the number of sockets of each type at each station is important.
