Waze Will Start Showing EV Charging Locations On Its Maps

One of the problems that electric carmakers still demand to overcome is to innovate more than charging stations for its vehicles. This is because different gas stations which tin can exist easily institute, EV charging stations aren't quite as ubiquitous. This ways that EV owners will demand to be more careful when planning their route to avoid getting stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Even so, the good news is that if yous use Waze, yous'll soon be able to search and find EV charging stations on its maps. Prior to this, owners could already bear witness gas stations on their Waze maps and routes, simply at present in that location will be an option to look for EV charging stations also, which nosotros imagine is a welcome update for EV owners.

According to Waze Caput of Manufacture Jeffrey Kohl, "This is an incredibly exciting moment for Waze equally Volkswagen brings electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to our map for the first time alee of a very busy holiday travel flow. Volkswagen is helping to shape what EV looks like on the Waze map and we're looking forrard to highlighting the breadth of EV stations available across the US, especially as more automotive brands motion towards an electric future."

That being said, Google Maps can already prove EV charging locations, and given that Waze is owned past Google, it's not surprising that this feature found its way into the app, although why it took this long is unclear.
