# Halowerk EV Charging Stations Nearby (OSM)

> Halowerk EV Charging Stations Nearby (OSM) is a paid API for AI agents from lade.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).

Returns EV charging points near given coordinates from OpenStreetMap data, including connector types, access info, operator, opening hours, and fees within a configurable radius.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 halowerk-ev-charging-stations-nearby-osm-e9283ab2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find EV charging stations within 5 km of coordinates 48.1351° N, 11.5820° E, filtering for CCS connectors only, and show me up to 20 results with their opening hours and fees?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured EV or e-bike charging point data sourced from OpenStreetMap for a specific geographic area, especially when connector type filtering or inclusion of unconfirmed Schuko points is needed. Prefer over commercial charging network APIs when open, crowd-sourced coverage matters or when cost per query is a concern. Not suitable when real-time occupancy or live availability data is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid coordinates (outside ±85° lat or ±180° lon) return validation error
- radius_km outside 0.1–50 range rejected
- connector pattern violating regex returns 400
- No results returned if area has no OSM-tagged charging points with required bicycle tags
- Missing or malformed required lat/lon fields cause request failure

## How this service works

OSM-Ladepunkte im Umkreis von 0,1 bis 50 km: Koordinaten, Entfernung, Steckertypen, Zugang, Betreiber, Öffnungszeiten und Gebühren, soweit getaggt. Fahrradtags sind Voraussetzung; unbestätigte Schuko-Punkte können ausdrücklich zugeschaltet werden. Keine aktuelle Belegungsprüfung.

## Output

A list of EV charging stations near the specified coordinates, each with OSM node/way/relation ID, geographic coordinates, distance from query point, available connector types, access information, operator name, opening hours, and fee details — all as tagged in OpenStreetMap. Does not include real-time occupancy or availability data.
