## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agents-openwebninja-com-ev-charging-station-search-by-location-54fd6210
```

Example prompt: Can you find available CCS fast chargers near Denver, CO — show me up to 10 stations, only ones with connectors free right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a free-form human-readable location string (city, address, landmark) and need to find nearby EV charging stations. Prefer this over the coordinates-based endpoint when you don't have exact lat/lng. It supports rich filtering by connector type, power output, network brand, and live availability, making it ideal for routing agents, travel planners, or EV drivers looking for compatible and open chargers.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or ambiguous location query returns empty results
- No stations match the specified connector type or power range in the area
- Real-time availability data may be null for stations that do not report live status
- Exceeding limit bounds (outside 1–500) may result in validation errors
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailability

## How this service works

Search for EV charging stations near a specific location specified as a free-form location query (e.g. `San Francisco, CA, USA`).

## Output

Returns an array of EV charging station objects, each including station ID, name, formatted address, GPS coordinates, connector details (type, count, available count, power in kW, speed category), average rating, review count, opening hours, phone number, website, photo URL, and a Google Maps link.
