Error on filter for certain city names

Queries with charging stations of certain city names doesn't returns a Error message. I.e. queries for Basel return the error message below, queries for Buchs work as intended.

<ServiceExceptionReport xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ogc http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/OGC-exception.xsd">

Error example, query for charging stations in Basel: http://ich-tanke-strom.switzerlandnorth.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/geoserver/ich-tanke-strom/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=ich-tanke-strom%3Aevse&maxFeatures=50&cql_filter=Address.City%3D%27Basel%27&outputFormat=application%2Fjson

Working example, query for charging stations in Buchs: http://ich-tanke-strom.switzerlandnorth.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/geoserver/ich-tanke-strom/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=ich-tanke-strom%3Aevse&maxFeatures=50&cql_filter=Address.City%3D%27Buchs%27&outputFormat=application%2Fjson

The error didn't appear at the end of March 2024. So it might be connected to recent changes of the API in May.

Missing Tesla locations and plugs

The Tesla data is stale.

The last 4 locations opened this year are missing:

• Landquart
• Bern-Westside
• Genève-Balexert
• Locarno

The Bulle Supercharger has been upgraded from 8 to 16 stalls which is not reflected on opendata.

Additional suggestions:

• Since all but 3 Superchargers are open to non-Teslas, it would make more sense to list the connectors as CCS instead of Type2. Preferably list both on V2 locations but even all-CCS would be more logical than all-Type2 which is just plainly wrong on V3 chargers
• Add the names to the locations in the data
• Include Liechtenstein (1 location, Vaduz)

Metadata availability

Could you please let me know where to find the metadata related to this dataset?
For example, there are values from -1 to 7 that encodes the availability of charging stations, but I want to know what each code means.
Thank you.
