🟢search_stations(city, state, network, connector, speed, ...)
Search EV charging stations by city, state, network, connector, speed, power or live availability. Returns station details including name, address, connector types, and pricing. Stations whose verified owner is on Listed Pro come first. Each station has verified_owner and owner_profile (the verified owner's hours, amenities, pricing, photos and contact link on a paid plan, else null).
