We have been really busy updating the site backstage and adding loads of additional data for a new release of the website.
The major of work has been unseen as in need in the database and backend system to even get to this stage. Many long days and nights. So thanks to our rock star dev @paulkva for getting us this far and to all the @editors that have been adding all the new info to the database.
It is the first phase for even more changes in the coming months.
Here is what has been added for the next public release:
Show the breakdown of Urban, V2, V3 & V4 stalls per site
Show the plugs able to use per site
Site hosts information
Accessible bays
Trailer friendly bays
Parking status information (Paid parking, restrictions, etc)
Links for additional site information (Plugshare, Openstreetmap)
And here is link with a preview of the site.
The data will be up a day old so it will not match up exactly with the latest superchargers on the main site and there is lots of data added all the time in the background.
Please have a look and any feedback welcome.
======
Future enhancements coming soon include:
More searchable filters for many of the new options.
NACS adapter sites
Charts page(s) redesigning for all the new options
and much more.
More sites status for expanding sites, planning and voting.

The control for that moved to the top right of the table. I just tried it and it works for me; if it’s not working for you, what browser and OS are you using?
Great update and kudo’s to everyone who has worked hard on this!
Now that we rely (even) more on crowdsourced info, maybe we can make an easy way for users of the site to provide feedback on sites info? An extra icon in the detail window that opens a box so they can send comments?
This is a really good point … and fraught with its own set of challenges (e.g. how to minimize spam / abuse). Worth at least thinking through for sure. Might require another release or two before we get there but I’ll add it to our queue.
To be clear, it should always link to OpenStreetMap. But if the OSM icon is grey, it’ll only take you to the map location based on the latitude/longitude we have. As @Rovastar said, that means either OSM itself doesn’t have a marker for the supercharger, or supercharge.info hasn’t incorporated that marker ID into our data yet.
If you find a site where the OSM icon is colored, but it doesn’t work or takes you to the wrong place, please do let us know!
so we eliminated it.
