How to find electric car charging stations on Google Maps

Electric cars continue their journey in our country. With a light step, although firm, the number of users who opt for this type of car is growing. But let's be honest, there is a long way to go before the cargo structure we have in Spain can withstand a massive change to this type of car. So, for now, the brave who choose to buy an electric car have to "look for life" to be able to charge their car. From now on it will be a little easier, since it is now possible to find electric car charging stations on Google Maps

As soon as you have learned about electric cars, surely you have heard of the Electromaps service. It is a web page used by users of this type of vehicle to search for charging points. Well, from now on they will be able to do it from the navigation application that almost all users use. Google Maps has integrated information from charging stations around the world

In addition to locating them on the map, we can also see information about the charging stations The application, according to Google, shows information about the business the station is located in, the types of ports available, the charging speeds, and the number of ports there are. We will also have information about the station from users, including photos, ratings, comments and questions.

How to locate electric car charging stations on Google Maps?

Locating electric car charging stations on Google Maps is really easy. All we have to do is open the application on our mobile and search for "electric vehicle charging station" Click on search and immediately we will have the stations you have located on the map.

If we click on one of them it will show us the information of the station. In my case, I have tried some near my location and it does not show me the information on the type of charger. As explained by Google this new feature will be progressively rolled out worldwide, so it may not be complete yet.

I have compared it with the Electromaps website and, for now, its information is superior to that offered by Google Maps. The finder application supports the following stations:

Google Maps now supports electric car charging stations around the world, including:

• Global: Tesla and Charging Points
• USA: SemaConnect, EVgo, Blink
• United Kingdom: Chargemaster, Pod Point
• AU and NZ: Chargefox

Like any new service, we understand that the information and available points will be updated little by little.
