Slowly but surely the biggest navigational apps are starting to be a little more considerate of electric vehicle drivers. Google Maps on Android Auto is the latest one to remember that EV drivers exist, and will now stop suggesting gas stations to people who don’t actually need gasoline to get around.
Regular Google Maps owners will know all about the Categories menu, which offers shortcuts to commonly-searched locations. Restaurants, bathrooms, supermarkets and, you guessed it, gas stations. The gas station option typically sits at the top of that menu, even if you’re driving an electric car, but now Google finally got rid of it — and swapped in a charging points option instead.
