Libre Charge Map
Libre Charge Map is a map made by Tykayn to visualize and see common mistakes in OSM for electric vehicle charging station objects.
It displays bubbles of different colours and size for charging stations.
This is thought to be useful for people who travel or people who want to make improvements on OSM on the electric charging stations theme.

The size of the bubble is proportional to the maximum power output of a charging station, the bigger, the faster. Colors are showing slices of power.
It displays also a set of circles to see the proposed integrations from Osmose. When a station is proposed near an existing station, the Osmose circle is hidden by default. This can be managed in the map filters choices (top right of the map).
Discrete scale of colors depending on output:
- beige: unknown max kW output
- dark: up to 7 kW
- dark green: 20 kW
- green-blue: 50 kW (anything more than 49kW is considered fast in France, this is approximately 1/5 of charging pools in this category)
- blue: up to 100 kW
- intense blue: up to 200 kW
- purple: more than 200 kW. Maximum seen station has 400kW max output in 2025 in France.
The rainbow bar displays the proportion of detected max power output of all the displayed charging stations.
The left panel displays filters for sockets and max output. There are also statistics comparing what it found in Frances' data gouv open data and in OSM, plus other facts about electric mobility. https://libre-charge-map.cipherbliss.com/stats.html
The maps picks a big city of France at random when loaded, but you can see places in the whole world.
