Car dealers with no fast charger nearby

What it does

Every month: the car dealers in your cities, each with the public fast chargers within 2 km from Open Charge Map, the ones with none first, so your team knows where electric test drives and handovers need a charger.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, find car dealers in the area, count the EV charging stations within 2 km of each place, sort them by ev_stations and keep the top 30, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Electric test drives and handovers go better with a fast charger close by. The dealers without one are where to add a charger or a partnership first.
