There are currently only 7 socket:typeb=* in the world including the 6 I just 
added and a similar number of socket:USB=*

access public seems pointless to tag

socket:USB and socket:typeb should be one tag if you want to say USB type B, 
(e.g. usb_b)

motor_vehicle no is likely an attribute of the area and not of the charging 
station



Some of the  'problems' are that

amenity=charging_station is not 'approved' .. and my not have been discussed 
internationally and therefore lacks contributions from a wide audience.

the mooted extension to camp_sites power_supply= also has not been discussed ...

there is a suggested socket:typeb=   for American NEMA 5-15 sockets (on the 
charging_station discussion page) ... hopefully they will be =nema_5_15 which is 
much more descriptive and separates them for other "typeb' sockets!

For me the solution is;

1) a tag for power_sockets  .. probably along lines similar to power_supply= 
Link  
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_supply#Tag_values_for_type_of_sockets.

2) a new tag for motor vehicle charging stations with a better name and 
description of the socket/s there.

Perhaps the two could be combined ?

For vehicle charging amenity=vehicle_charging with power_socket=nema_5_15

and for the placement of a simple socket on a desk   amenity=desk with 
power_socket=nema_5_15

So you could combine the power socket with any suitable object .. the external 
wall of a building for example.
