Hey Baloo Uriza, after seeing dimmed rendering of "Electrify America" and "Tesla Supercharger" after adding both stations in Lordsburg, NM, I really dug in to the question of whether publicly available EV charging stations should be tagged access=customers or access=yes.

access=customers is problematic and to clearly see the problem, consider a grocery store. If a grocery store open to the public was tagged access=customer, that wouldn't make any sense because anyone can enter, even before they are a customer. The store is open to anyone willing to pay for groceries. Once you pay, you become a customer. So a grocery store open to the public should be tagged access=yes .

The same is true for EV chargers open to the public. Access is open to any person willing to pay (and of course have the correct plug or adapter), so they should be tagged access=yes.

This is confirmed at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access , which on the "customers" line says, "Only for customers/visitors of the associated feature, such as a shop or tourist facility. If access is open to any person willing to pay, consider using fee=yes (+access=yes) instead."

Also, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access=customers says "access=customers applies to features which may be used or accessed only by customers of a specific facility such as a shop or restaurant." That is clearly not the case with most EV chargers. You don't have to buy something at Target to use the Electrify America or Tesla chargers out front.

Thanks for your other best practice recommendations, such as the construction tagging scheme and not abbreviating street names. All the best!
