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

Refer to the USA wiki page for full details. Below are some localised examples of naming networked Australian EV charging stations.

Note: it will be rare in Australia where a location name will also need to be included in the name. See the full USA wiki page for situations where a location name should be included.

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

Non-networked charging stations

Refer to the USA wiki page for full details. Below are some localised examples of naming non-networked Australian EV charging stations.

Charging Station - Freedom Toyota
Charging Station - Hyde Park
Charging Station - Westfield Parking
Charging Station - Woolworths
Charging Station - 375 Pacific Hwy

Note: If there is no name or associated place, simply name it "Charging Station".

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

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]
ChargePoint: ?
Chargestar: ?
Elanga: ?
EVERTY: ?
Evie: App^[3]
EVUp: App, credit card ?^[4]
Exploren: App^[5]
JOLT: App^[6]
Tesla: Plug-in autocharge^[7]

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).
