This is neat, great use of public data, and just in time for the ICE phaseout starting within a decade.

(a) that phase out is going to take an extra-ordinarily long time. and (b) it'll be pretty trivial to extend this to charging networks.
Set's an good precedent for places that offer electric charging having to do the same thing in future though.
These are usually already available on the various charging apps and maps, especially because it can vary by a lot.
Charging apps suck. Why can't charging work just like gas? Tap a card and you're done.
I am mainly referring to the apps which hold a database of chargers, not the shitty ones which are used to take payment. Thankfully it seems like more of them are switching to contactless payments.
