## Find the right page (decision tree)
- "Show me chargers near a specific address or zip" → query the API:
  GET https://chargingnear.me/api/v1/stations?lat={lat}&lng={lng}&radius_mi=10
- "Show me chargers in a specific city" → /us/{state-slug}/{city-slug}/ev-charging-stations
  or GET /api/v1/stations?city={city}&state={state}
- "How much EV coverage does a state have?" → /us/{state-slug}/ev-charging-stations
  or GET /api/v1/stats/states/{state-abbrev}
- "Details for one station (hours, pricing, photos)" → /station/{address-slug}
  or GET /api/v1/stations/by-slug/{address-slug}
- "Plan a route between two points" → /tools/trip-planner
  or GET /api/v1/routes/plan?from={lat,lng}&to={lat,lng}
- "Find DC fast chargers only" → add &min_kw=50 to any list query
- "Filter by connector type" → /connectors/{ccs,nacs,chademo,j1772}
- "Filter by network (Tesla, ChargePoint, EVgo, etc.)" → add &network={name}
