Google Maps will now include EV charging stations

Google Maps’ newest feature brings information about electric vehicle charging stations to the Map. It’ll include 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.

You can find them how you normally find any other place. A search for “EV charging” or “EV charging stations” will display the nearest supported stations.

Also, businesses like malls or restaurants that have charging stations will now feature a link to information about the chargers.

Google Maps now supports these charging stations:

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

You can search for electric vehicle charging stations on Android and iOS, with desktop launching in the “coming weeks.”
