# Find chargers in a city

./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "EV charging stations in Austin Texas", "limit": 20}'

Via curl


curl -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \

  "https://api.getcamino.ai/query?query=EV+charging+stations&lat=34.0522&lon=-118.2437&radius=5000&rank=true"

Parameters

|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|

| lat | float | No | - | Latitude for search center. AI generates if omitted for known locations. |

| lon | float | No | - | Longitude for search center. AI generates if omitted for known locations. |

| radius | int | No | 5000 | Search radius in meters (larger default for EV chargers) |

| limit | int | No | 20 | Maximum results (1-100) |

Examples

Find chargers near a highway exit


./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "EV charging near Interstate 5", "lat": 34.0522, "lon": -118.2437, "radius": 10000}'

Find Tesla Superchargers


./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "Tesla Supercharger", "lat": 37.3861, "lon": -122.0839}'

Find chargers near a hotel


./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "EV charging stations near downtown Denver", "radius": 3000}'

Best Practices

Use a larger radius (5000-10000m) since EV chargers are less densely distributed than other amenities
Include the charger network name in the query if you need a specific one (e.g., "Tesla Supercharger", "ChargePoint")
Combine with the route skill to plan charging stops along a driving route
Combine with the relationship skill to check distances from chargers to your destination
For road trip planning, use the travel-planner skill with charging waypoints
