Simple enough that some people would reject your proposal as incomplete. Others would prefer the split and reject a proposal that tried to handle both topics at once.

That can be changed, but would probably require a proposal and a vote. Maybe not, because from what little I've seen on the subject, electric cars often have cables that allow them to be hooked up to domestic power feeds and maybe even camp site hook-ups. Socket=* already defines BS1363 sockets (UK domestic power) so adding others may be OK without requiring proposals and votes. Even so, I'm not happy with socket=* because "socket" is an ambiguous term which may refer to either female contacts (regardless of whether the connector is fixed or free) or a fixed connector (regardless of whether the contacts are male or female). For those of the "free connector is a plug" persuasion, enjoy https://www.masterplug.com/img/product_images/basic/BOG510-main7.jpg The connector for a car charging station (or an amenity=power_supply), even if fixed, could have shrouded male contacts. It would be better to use connector=* than socket=* and encourage migration. Except, of course, there are other ways of transmitting power, so electrical_connector=*, with electrical_connector:type, and all the other socket:type migrated, plus electrical_connector:contact=male|female. All of which is too sensible to ever happen. :) -- Paul
