api/alt-fuel-stations returns incorrect response for ev_network=Tesla&ev_connector_type=J1772COMBO

[ScottHutchinson]

In the past few weeks, Tesla has started to install CCS (aka J1772COMBO) connectors at some of their supercharger stations in the United States in the form of 'magic docks'. As of this writing, they have installed magic docks at 11 supercharger stations (9 in New York and 2 in California). You can view the locations at PlugShare. There are videos on YouTube showing non-Tesla cars charging at those stations using the magic dock.

Currently, the api/alt-fuel-stations API cannot identify which Tesla supercharger stations have CCS connectors (see example request below, which returns total_results = 0 instead of 11).

https://developer.nrel.gov/api/alt-fuel-stations/v1.json?api_key=MYAPIKEY&fuel_type=ELEC&limit=2&ev_connector_type=J1772COMBO&access=public&ev_network=Tesla

The Advanced Filter page also returns 0.
I hope someone is already working on adding this data. I'm guessing that the system behind the API is closed source, since I can't find it in this repo.

[EDIT]: Since I posted this issue, I found the "About the Alternative Fueling Station Data" web page, which says "The Station Locator imports Blink, ChargePoint, Electrify America, EV Connect, EVgo, FLO, OpConnect, Rivian, SemaConnect, Shell Recharge (formerly Greenlots), and Webasto networked station data directly from these networks on a daily basis." I notice that the Tesla network is missing from that list. Is it possible to import data daily from that network too?

Thanks!

I have emailed [email protected] regarding updating the data for the 11 Tesla supercharger stations. I also updated one station using this edit form.

@ScottHutchinson we would very much like to update Tesla daily via API, but we do not have access to their API(s). It's something we've been discussing with them, but I don't have any idea when that might happen.

Regarding the CCS connectors at Tesla stations, we will update our data as we receive updates for their data, either from Tesla directly, or from the community.
