Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the EV Chargers tool:
- Tell ChatGPT your location, connector type, and minimum charge speed.
- Ask ChatGPT to use `find_chargers` via `ev-chargers` to search nearby.
- Have ChatGPT produce a sorted list with station name, distance, network, power output, and connector types.
- Ask for a recommendation for the best stop given your time and charge requirements.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the EV Chargers tool
Use ev-chargers to find CCS rapid chargers near Oxford, UK (minimum 50kW). Return a table of the 5 nearest stations with: name, distance, network, max power (kW), number of bays, and connector types. Recommend the best option for a 30-minute stop.
Tips
- Include number of bays in the table — a station with 6 bays is more likely to have one free than a 2-bay station.
- Ask for a recommendation with a reason so you have a clear first choice without reading the full table.
- Sort by distance by default — when you're low on charge, proximity matters most.
