One of my biggest EV gripes is that EV-specific navigation, with routes that account for your charging needs, has only been available with the built-in navigation system. If your car's navigation is awful, like mine, you're essentially cut off from that crucial piece of tech — and completely reliant on mobile apps like Google Maps.
But Google is changing that, and has announced that AI-powered charging predictions will be coming to Google Maps for over 350 different electric vehicles. Essentially, this means Google Maps will be able to calculate when it thinks you'll have to stop to recharge, recommend an appropriate stop for your route, and account for charging time in your ETA.
