Google Maps Gains Information About Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Google has updated Google Maps to offer more detailed information about electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

A quick search for keywords like “ev charging” or “EV charging stations" will display the nearest supported stations. To help you make a quick decision about which station to use, we’ll show you information about the business where the station is located, the types of ports available, charging speeds, and how many ports there are. You’ll also see information about the station from drivers, including photos, ratings, reviews and questions.




Additionally, businesses that have charging stations will now feature a link to information about the chargers. The following charging stations are supported...

● Global: Tesla, Chargepoint
● US: SemaConnect, EVgo, Blink
● UK: Chargemaster, Pod Point
● AU & NZ: Chargefox

The ability to search for electric vehicle charging stations starts rolling out today on Android and iOS, with desktop launching in the coming weeks. You can download Google Maps from the App Store for free.
