Fast charger sites where drivers already stop

What it does

Every month: supermarkets, malls and gyms in your city, the chargers within 1 km of each, the 50 with the fewest, the people around them, scored by xMap AI, approved, saved, emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Toronto, find supermarkets, shopping malls and gyms in the area, count the electric vehicle charging stations within 1 km of each, sort them by nearby_count and keep the top 50, count who lives around, work out new fields, score and rank them with xMap AI, keep those where fit score ≥ 65, wait for approval, then add row in Google Sheets, email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Fast chargers pay off where people stay 30 minutes anyway and no rival charger is close. This flow lists those places with the people around them.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 300 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 5 hours a month (an estimate). It is advanced: 13 blocks.
