I doubt it was originally crowdsourced. Ages ago, it was a huge pain in the butt to even submit a correction so I stopped bothering. My '13 Leaf would claim there's a charging station somewhere which didn't exist. I looked all over the area and it wasn't in Plugshare either.

Perhaps it partly comes from here.com (formerly Navteq: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navteq). From https://www.nissanusa.com/connect/faq
