Many charging stations have designated spaces close to the charge points customers are expected to use. In some cases, this restriction is legally enforceable, in others it is a suggestion or "last resort" space. In the
United States and elsewhere, the term ICEing is used when a Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle is parked in a designated charging space. If a space is legally designated as a charging space (i.e. signposted as "EV Only" or similar) the tag restriction=charging_only may be used in lieu of access values.
How to map
- Within a parking
area, create a second
area surrounding only a single parking space. - Add the tags
amenity=parking_space+parking_space=chargingto designate the space for charging EVs. - Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all spaces are covered.
