The trend towards eco-friendliness is driving more and more people to opt for electric vehicles. Not only do they help save on gas fuel costs, but they are also more cost-effective compared to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. However, one challenge that electric vehicle owners face is the lack of charging stations compared to gas stations.
To make it easier for electric vehicle owners to find charging stations, Google has updated its Maps feature. Users can now search for the nearest charging station and even pinpoint en route charging stations. This new feature is beneficial for those who rely on electric vehicles for transportation.
To find the nearest charging station using Google Maps, simply open the app on your smartphone. Scroll right to left on the preset search options on the home screen and tap on the “More” option. Choose “Charging Stations” from the menu and Google Maps will list down all the available charging stations near you.
If you are using Google Maps for navigation, you can also find charging stations along your route. Head to settings and define your charger type under the EV charging settings option. Once set, Google Maps will display charging stations along your route just like it does with gas stations. This feature makes it convenient for electric vehicle owners to plan their trips accordingly.
Overall, this new update from Google provides a convenient solution for electric vehicle owners who struggle to find charging stations, making it easier for them to switch over to eco-friendly transportation options without worrying about running out of power while on long trips or commuting daily.
