Some critical points to remember:
Some critical points to remember:


* '''Do not just approve and move on.''' The mapping standards as listed in this wiki page need to be applied to each new and existing EVCS, to bring it up to the high quality our users will expect.
* '''Do not just approve and move on.''' Ensure all of the fields under the General and More info tab are completed, and that the mapping standards as listed on this wiki page are applied to every EVCS place.
* '''EVCS PURs should only be rejected if they do not physically exist or are permanently closed.''' Otherwise, approve and edit the incorrect details.
* '''EVCS PURs should only be rejected if they do not physically exist or are permanently closed.''' Otherwise, approve and edit the incorrect details.
*'''Update the Google Sheet once added.''' To help us track the roll out of EVCS in Australia, update the Google Sheet to indicate it was added and if there were any errors outstanding.

=== Reporting Incorrect Chargers ===


=== Reporting Incorrect Plugs ===
As described in the above slides, plugs cannot be edited on EVCS imported with an external provider. Errors need to be reported using the Google Sheet so the external provider can fix their data and push changes to Waze.


Test
=== Missing Network Operators ===
Is there a new network? Contact an [[Community Leaders|Australian Local Champ]] and they can arrange for a new network to be added.
 
== EVSC Mapping Standards ==
Australia adopts the [[usa:Places/EV charging station|electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) policy of the USA]], with the exception of local requirements and resources mentioned on this page. If the answer you are looking for is not mentioned here, please see the aforementioned link.

====Plugs====
====Plugs====
7 plug types are available in WME. Of these, 4 (with their names in '''<u>bold</u>''' below) are commonly found in Australia.
Below are the common plugs used in Australia:
 
*'''CCS2''' - European counterpart to CCS1 which combines DC fast charging lower pins with the Type 2 plug instead of the J1772 plug.
*'''CHAdeMO''' - a DC fast charging plug.
*'''J1772''' - Also known as "Type 1".
*'''Type 2 (Mennekes)''' - The European standard for AC charging (similar to our J1772 standard, but with a different plug).
 
== Resources ==


*'''<u>CCS1</u>''' - the standard plug for DC fast charging in North America. Also known as "CCS Combo 1". Except the Nissan Leaf and all Tesla models, all new EVs which support DC fast charging include the CCS1 plug. The CCS1 plug is made up of a J1772 plug and two lower pins for DC fast charging.
=== National ===
*CCS2 - not used in North America. European counterpart to CCS1 which combines DC fast charging lower pins with the Type 2 plug instead of the J1772 plug.
https://www.plugshare.com/map/australia - PlugShare can be used as a resource to verify factual information such as access type, charger location, activation instructions, hours of operation, etc.
*'''<u>CHAdeMO</u>''' - a DC fast charging plug which is becoming uncommon in North America but is still used by a handful of EVs. The Nissan Leaf is the only car currently on sale in the U.S. with a CHAdeMO plug.
*GB/T - not used in the United States. The standard in China.
*'''<u>J1772</u>''' - the standard plug for AC charging in the United States. Also known as "Type 1". All EVs on sale today support J1772 – built-into most cars, and via an included adapter for Tesla vehicles.
*'''<u>Tesla</u>''' - the plug used by all Tesla models sold in North America. Also known as "North American Charging Standard" or "NACS".
*Type 2 (Mennekes) - not used in North America. The European standard for AC charging (similar to our J1772 standard, but with a different plug).

† Shell Recharge PURs may be imported with the name <code>Greenlots Charging Station</code>.


<nowiki>*</nowiki> '''Name:''' ChargePoint location names are often ugly and sometimes non-descriptive, and listed per individual charger (not per charging station). For example, the chargers located together in the New Orleans International Airport long-term parking garage are named "EZ-PARKER STATION1" through "EZ-PARKER STATION9", and chargers installed by the City of New Orleans in partnership with local utility Entergy all start with the string "ENTERGY NO LVL2" and have names like "ENTERGY NO LVL2 CTY PK GOLF CRS" and "ENTERGY NO LVL2 AUDUBON ZOO 2". The station containing these chargers should be named "ChargePoint - MSY Long Term Garage", "ChargePoint - City Park Golf Course", and "ChargePoint - Audubon Zoo", respectively. '''Payment & Description:''' ChargePoint chargers can be activated by the ChargePoint app or by NFC. Specifically, whether free or paid, ChargePoint chargers can be activated by using a ChargePoint membership card or a credit card, either using NFC on a supported physical card or by using a supported mobile wallet. In the description field, include a note, “Activate with ChargePoint membership card, ChargePoint app, or a contactless credit card”.
=== NT ===
We are still researching sources.


<nowiki>**</nowiki> Tesla Supercharger and Electrify America locations typically include a city name in the location name. If the name is more than just a city name (with or without state), remove the city and state name component (but don't remove a city name that is part of the name of something else, such as "Pensacola Square" or "Gulfport Premium Outlets").
=== Tas ===
We are still researching sources.


<nowiki>***</nowiki> EVgo location names are easiest to find in the EVgo mobile app. Oddly, in the web locator, EVgo location names show up in the search box when you click on a location. EVgo also names their individual chargers with people names, so be sure to use the station name ("Cracker Barrel" or "H-E-B") and not the charger name ("Cooper" or "Deonte").

This wiki page is in draft and is not to be utilised for mapping purposes.

Waze EV Project

Watch the Waze Communities Office Hours where they discuss the EV rollout project.

Mapping Instructions

Please see the following deck on how electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) should be mapped using the Waze Map Editor.

Some critical points to remember:

  • Do not just approve and move on. Ensure all of the fields under the General and More info tab are completed, and that the mapping standards as listed on this wiki page are applied to every EVCS place.
  • EVCS PURs should only be rejected if they do not physically exist or are permanently closed. Otherwise, approve and edit the incorrect details.
  • Update the Google Sheet once added. To help us track the roll out of EVCS in Australia, update the Google Sheet to indicate it was added and if there were any errors outstanding.

Reporting Incorrect Chargers

As described in the above slides, plugs cannot be edited on EVCS imported with an external provider. Errors need to be reported using the Google Sheet so the external provider can fix their data and push changes to Waze.

Missing Network Operators

Is there a new network? Contact an Australian Local Champ and they can arrange for a new network to be added.

EVSC Mapping Standards

Australia adopts the electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) policy of the USA, with the exception of local requirements and resources mentioned on this page. If the answer you are looking for is not mentioned here, please see the aforementioned link.

Naming

Networked charging stations

Primary Name Format: <Network name> [- <location name>]

If a user-friendly location name is provided by the network provider, it should be included at the end of the primary name following a hyphen. Otherwise, use only the network name.

Exception: If the network is Tesla, use "Tesla Supercharger" as the network name for naming purposes. In this case, the primary name format would be: Tesla Supercharger [- <location name>]

Add "EV Charging Station" as an alternate name to all EV charging stations.

Below are some localised examples of networked Australian EV charging stations:

  • ChargeFox - Woolworths Ballina
  • Tesla Supercharger - Adelaide
  • Evie - Avenel

Refer to the USA wiki page for full details.

Non-networked charging stations

Primary Name Format: Charging Station [- <location name>]

If a user-friendly location name is available, it should be included at the end of the primary name following a hyphen. Otherwise, use only "Charging Station".

Add "EV Charging Station" as an alternate name to all EV charging stations.

Below are some localised examples of non-networked Australian EV charging stations:

  • Charging Station - Freedom Toyota
  • Charging Station - Hyde Park
  • Charging Station - Westfield Bondi Junction
  • Charging Station - Woolworths
  • Charging Station - 375 Pacific Hwy

Refer to the USA wiki page for full details.

Details

Payment methods

Add all payment methods which are accepted at the charging station.

The charging networks listed below support the following payment methods:

  • Bolt: App[1]
  • Chargefox: App[2], membership card[3]
  • ChargePoint: App, membership card[4]
  • Chargestar: Credit card, debit card[5]
  • Elanga: App, credit card, debit card, membership card[6]
  • EVERTY: App, membership card[7]
  • Evie: App[8], membership card[9]
  • EVUp: App, credit card, debit card[10]
  • Exploren: App[11]
  • JOLT: App[12]
  • Tesla: Plug-in auto charge[13]

Chargers

The Chargers tab shows the chargers and plugs available at the charging station.

The Chargers tab will be read-only on charging stations linked to an external provider. If you find an error in the Chargers tab, mark it in the spreadsheet (if applicable), or reach out to your (A)RC so they can address it with staff or the external provider.

Plugs

Below are the common plugs used in Australia:

  • CCS2 - European counterpart to CCS1 which combines DC fast charging lower pins with the Type 2 plug instead of the J1772 plug.
  • CHAdeMO - a DC fast charging plug.
  • J1772 - Also known as "Type 1".
  • Type 2 (Mennekes) - The European standard for AC charging (similar to our J1772 standard, but with a different plug).
