EV Charger Finder
Find EV charging stations along a route or near a destination. Uses OpenStreetMap data to locate charging infrastructure with AI-powered ranking.
Setup
These skills shell out to curl and authenticate via the CAMINO_API_KEY environment variable. Sign up at https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate for 100 free calls/month and an API key.
Add your key to Claude Code:
Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"env": {
"CAMINO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
Restart Claude Code.
Alternative — pay-per-request via x402: Camino's paid endpoints also accept HTTP 402 payments in USDC on Base ($0.001/request) from any x402-capable client, with no signup or API key. These skills don't use this path; it's for agents and clients that speak x402 natively.
Usage
Via Shell Script
# Find EV chargers near coordinates
./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"lat": 34.0522, "lon": -118.2437, "radius": 5000}'
# Find chargers with custom query
./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "Tesla Supercharger stations", "lat": 37.7749, "lon": -122.4194}'
# Find chargers in a city
./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "EV charging stations in Austin Texas", "limit": 20}'
Via curl
curl -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \
"https://api.getcamino.ai/query?query=EV+charging+stations&lat=34.0522&lon=-118.2437&radius=5000&rank=true"
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | No | "EV charging stations" | Search query (override for specific charger types) |
| lat | float | No | - | Latitude for search center. AI generates if omitted for known locations. |
| lon | float | No | - | Longitude for search center. AI generates if omitted for known locations. |
| radius | int | No | 5000 | Search radius in meters (larger default for EV chargers) |
| limit | int | No | 20 | Maximum results (1-100) |

Examples
Find chargers near a highway exit
./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "EV charging near Interstate 5", "lat": 34.0522, "lon": -118.2437, "radius": 10000}'
Find Tesla Superchargers
./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "Tesla Supercharger", "lat": 37.3861, "lon": -122.0839}'
Find chargers near a hotel
./scripts/ev-charger.sh '{"query": "EV charging stations near downtown Denver", "radius": 3000}'
Best Practices
- Use a larger radius (5000-10000m) since EV chargers are less densely distributed than other amenities
- Include the charger network name in the query if you need a specific one (e.g., "Tesla Supercharger", "ChargePoint")
- Combine with the
camino-routeskill to plan charging stops along a driving route - Combine with the
camino-relationshipskill to check distances from chargers to your destination - For road trip planning, use the
camino-travel-plannerskill with charging waypoints
