Google Maps Set to Get a Major Upgrade Electric Car Owners Will Love
Google Maps is getting a major upgrade that will make it even more useful for electric car owners. The new features, which are currently in testing, will provide real-time information on charging stations, including availability, pricing, and compatibility with different types of vehicles.
This is a major improvement over the current Maps experience, which only provides basic information on charging stations, such as their location and hours of operation. The new features will make it much easier for electric car owners to plan their trips and find the best charging options along the way.
The upgrade is part of Google's broader effort to make its products more useful for electric car owners. In recent months, Google has added a number of new features to Maps and other products, such as support for EV charging stations in Google Assistant and the ability to search for EV charging stations in Google Search.
The new Maps features are expected to roll out to all users in the coming months. In the meantime, electric car owners can use the existing Maps features to find charging stations along their routes.
How to Use the New Google Maps Features
The new Google Maps features are easy to use. To find charging stations along your route, simply enter your destination into the Maps search bar and then tap on the "EV charging" tab.
Maps will then display a list of charging stations along your route. You can filter the results by charging type, connector type, and availability. You can also view detailed information about each charging station, such as its location, hours of operation, and pricing.
To start charging your car, simply tap on the charging station you want to use and then follow the instructions on the screen.
The new Google Maps features are a major upgrade for electric car owners. The new features will make it much easier to find and use charging stations, making it easier to own and operate an electric car.
