Abstract
By extending the charged Vaidya metric to cover all of spacetime, we obtain a Penrose diagram for the formation and evaporation of a charged black hol e. In this construction, the singularity is time-like. The entire spacetime can be predicted from initial conditions if boundary conditions at the sin gularity are known.
