Plan your charging: Google Maps provides the best route for electric vehicles

Google has announced an important update to its popular Google Maps app for Android and Android Auto platforms.

Here's What We Know

This updated version is especially useful for electric vehicle owners as it offers better navigation to electric vehicle charging stations.

The new features use artificial intelligence to provide more accurate instructions on how to find and reach EV charging points. The AI algorithm analyses user comments that provide information about the exact location and access to charging points.

This helps drivers find chargers even in multi-level car parks.

In addition, the update includes the ability to receive real-time recommendations for charging stations during a trip, including the type of outlet and charging speed.

Google Maps can also plan long journeys with multiple stops by suggesting charging points based on the car's battery level and real-time port availability.
