I was using my phone today, and I realized that I have so many apps for the different charging networks. It's probably a pipe dream, but a federated database of all known charging infrastructure would be great. Each network could still use their own systems, but push out statuses, locations, and details through ActivityPub. It would also mean that folks can build their own apps on top of this data, allowing for some competition against Plugshare and ABRP. I'm sure that scraping and gathering data is a big impediment there.

Anyway, not sure where I'm going with this. But just a shower thought that I had yesterday.

Would love it if this happened. Keep us updated if you do something with the idea.
