Electric vehicles are being used more and more. The problem with these cars, unlike conventional ones, is that they need to be recharged for a much longer time To prevent you from being stranded outside your home, points have been invented electric charging stations and Google Maps has been showing them in the application for a long time. With the Google browser you can know where all the charging points are, but now they will go further. What good is knowing where they are if you don't know their availability?
Google Maps will tell you in the application if an electric recharging point is free or not You will be able to check in real time the availability of the charging points. At this time the feature only works in the United States and United Kingdom although it will be extended to more territories soon. You won't have to go to a charging station if it's busy and you can continue to the next one or go home to charge the car.
Google Maps is the best application for those who have an electric car
This GIF allows us to see how the function is. When looking for a charging point for electric cars we will have information from stations such as Chargemaster, EVgo, SemaConnect and also Chargepoint. Google Maps will show you the number of points there are and their availability. What can happen is that when we move to one of them it has been occupied.
In the application you will not only be able to see the availability. Google Maps will also show data on the type of chargers, their speed and where the points are located. It seems that if Google doesn't win the electric car war with its own vehicle, at least it will have the most complete application for electric car drivers.
Mobility is important to Google
The application has added new features for a cleaner mobility It has been allowing us to see where the electric scooters in our city are for a while now and it is very useful for pedestrians who need a vehicle of this type. As for real-time information on charging points, Google ensures that it will be available on both Android and iPhone, Android Auto and even on the desktop version.
The latest version of Google Maps already has this feature available, you can get it on Google Play.
