Background
amenity=charging_station has been around since 2015[1] and aims to give OSM contributors a way to represent charging stations and their associated (optional) elements and restrictions. Previous discussions in 2023[2] surrounding stations vs charge points led to a rough consensus surrounding the 
amenity=charging_station and man_made=charge_point. The main opposition to this proposal was the existing data and data consumers use of this tag was on an individual node and would now be associated with nodes or areas, consisting of many (sometimes implied) energy dispensers.
