A Google Maps update unveiled Monday aims to streamline long-range electric vehicle road trips for Android Auto users. The navigation and mapping software can now automatically suggest charging stops when planning longer journeys in EVs, with more accurate arrival time and state-of-charge estimates based on how long its AI-powered routing algorithm thinks you’ll need to plug in. Google says it has compatibility with EVs from 16 automakers — comprising over 350 models and trim levels — in the US.
