Thanks, and I agree totally that the map should show the world as it is right now, which is why I added the stations while under construction. The issue here is that there are several ways to mark things under construction. BTW, the Gypsum CO station just went live today, so I just updated that one. 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:construction says the tag:

construction=yes 

is deprecated and not recommended. So I found https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix , which recommended "construction:amenity= "

so I added this tag:

construction:amenity=charging_station

I don't see any difference in rendering in the 6 map layers in the OSM web site or in the GNOME Maps application under Linux (charging stations don't even appear!). So I think for now the best option to leave "(under construction)" appended to the name.
