- Feed the output into your map component, fleet dashboard, or routing engine.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the EV Chargers tool
Use ev-chargers to find CCS chargers near Oxford (lat: 51.7520, lng: -1.2577) with minimum 50kW output. Return JSON: {chargers: Array<{id: string, name: string, network: string, distance_km: number, max_power_kw: number, connectors: string[], lat: number, lng: number, available_bays: number}>}.
Tips
- Include `lat` and `lng` in the response so the results can be plotted on a map without additional geocoding.
- Return `available_bays` as a number so your UI can show real-time availability status.
- Use `id` as a stable identifier for charger records so results can be deduped across multiple queries.
