# EV charging site acquisition screen

For three to eight candidate sites. Site coordinates carry into every map call.

## 1. Existing chargers

1. List chargers within 5 km of each site with @[OpenStreetMap · Search elements](alexandria:openstreetmap-org/places/search_elements) (tags amenity charging_station, around). Note operators and capacity tags.
2. Find nearby stations with @[Maps · Search](alexandria:firecrawl-maps/businesses/search) (query "EV charging station") and read @[Maps · Reviews](alexandria:firecrawl-maps/businesses/reviews) for the closest three. Reports of broken chargers mean unmet demand.

## 2. Dwell amenities

3. Count food and shops within 300 m of each site with @[OpenStreetMap · Search elements](alexandria:openstreetmap-org/places/search_elements) (tags amenity restaurant or cafe, shop).

## 3. Demand

4. Read household vehicle availability and commute data for the site's county or tract with @[Census Bureau · Data](alexandria:census-gov/census/data) (acs/acs5).
5. Read @[Trends · Interest by region](alexandria:firecrawl-trends/trends/interest_by_region) for "electric car" at metro resolution.

## Write the site screen

- **Table:** site, chargers within 5 km, competitor reliability, amenities, vehicles per household, metro interest.
- **Top sites:** few reliable chargers, good amenities, strong interest.
- **Unknowns:** utility capacity and lease terms are not in these sources.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
