EV Charging points - A new UK Project
EDIT: Please see update on this (posted 24th July 2023).
As I mentioned a few days ago, we are now about to embark on a major project to import, review and correctly position all the EV Charging point in the whole of the UK.
These will be initially added to the WME as PUR's and will initially be locked to L4. We expect a trial batch of about 500 to arrive within the next day or so. Once we have worked through and cleared these and checked the process actually works as expected, we will get the first of several larger imports,
In total there are around 24,000 to do (of that about 8,000 are inside the M25, so the London editors are going to be particularly busy).
The process is fairly simple, but will take time:
Identify an EV PUR, Accept it, move it to the correct position, if needed update the address details and whether it is a public one or a restricted use (such as in a hotel car park, purely for the use of customers).
Add any details about the location of the Charging point in the car park - such as "Chargers are located in the NE corner of the Car Park" This goes in the Location in Venue box.
Please do not change the other details about the charger. If you think something is wrong, please post the link and details in the Editors Requests forum.
If there is already an existing EV place point there, then merge the 2, using the data from the new one, but any useful data (photos?) from the original one. If the data conflicts then leave the two and post the location in the Editors Requests forum and someone else will have a look.
If there is no sign of any charger there (unlikely as the data has been supplier by the actual Charger providers) then again, leave the PUR or accepted place point, and post it in the Editors Forum for one of us to check.
The Champs have a spreadsheet to report back any issues we find while doing this work.
It is important that you do not reject any of these, as this breaks the link back to the source data and will probably result in it either being lost forever or keep being re-added (I am not sure which)
This is the biggest project we have undertaken and the launch of this feature in Waze in the UK is dependent on how quickly we can complete this task, so please can I ask you all to spend as much time on this as you can spare over the next few weeks.
Thanks
