Google Maps has already made taking the bus a little easier, and now its looking to do something similar for driving electric cars. You can now use Maps to search for nearby EV charging stations.
All you need to do is search using the term “ev charging station” in addition to the area you’re in, which will bring up a list of any nearby stations. Google says it’s been adding information over the past few months, but, as always, will continue to update to make the service as accurate as possible.
“We’d like to continue adding more charging stations to Google Maps,” Google’s Cynthia Yeung wrote on the official blog, “so we’re excited that our friends over at the the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are working to make more data available.”
The company is also reaching out to car manufacturers, as well as charging station manufacturers and installers to help with the updates.
