`find_stations`

Pack: openchargemap · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openchargemap/mcp

Find EV charging stations (electric vehicle chargers) near a place. Pass a location name (city/place, e.g. “San Francisco”, “Berlin”, “Austin TX”) and it is geocoded automatically — OR pass explicit latitude+longitude. Returns nearby charging stations with operator, status, available connector types (CCS/CHAdeMO/Tesla connectors), charging speed (kW), and distance. Filter by connector type to find e.g. only CCS or Tesla chargers.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`location`	string	no	Place/city name to search near, e.g. “San Francisco”, “Berlin”, “Austin TX”. Geocoded automatically. Provide THIS or latitude+longitude.
`country`	string	no	Optional ISO country code (e.g. “US”, “FR”) to disambiguate an ambiguous `location` like “Paris” or “Springfield”.
`latitude`	number	no	Latitude of the search center, e.g. 37.7749. Optional if `location` is given.
`longitude`	number	no	Longitude of the search center, e.g. -122.4194. Optional if `location` is given.
`distance`	number	no	Search radius around the location (default 10).
`distance_unit`	string	no	Unit for the search radius (default “KM”).
`max_results`	number	no	Maximum number of stations to return (default 20, max 100).
`connection_type`	string	no	Optional connector type name to filter by, e.g. “CCS”, “CHAdeMO”, “Tesla”. Case-insensitive substring match against each station’s connector titles.
