Waze now includes the ability for drivers to add their own EV type and charging port so it’s easy to find compatible charging stations.
Waze is now making it easier for EV owners to find charging stations. The app makes this possible by allowing users to enter their car model and plug-in type into the app to better find compatible charging stations. For those unfamiliar, not all electric cars are treated the same when it comes to charging methods, with different brands using different plugs. This means that if you’re commuting and looking to top up, there’s a good chance the EV station may not be compatible with your vehicle.
Hopefully, with this new feature, EV users will be able to better navigate the charging landscape. While this change will mitigate some of the issues, Tesla’s recent commitment to opening its charging stations to more vehicles would also be a huge help, too. The company has more than 40,000 supercharging stations scattered around the world, with its strongest network in the United States.
When it comes to Waze, the app still retains what makes it unique, despite merging with the Google Maps team at the end of last year. Since the merger, Waze has released a few updates to its app, with one currently being tested that could become one of its most important additions, providing the ability to then show users that they’re traveling on dangerous roads. The company has also added countless voices to its voice navigation system, which makes it a fun and unique experience.
Although Google Maps and Apple Maps are very popular, I recommend trying Waze. The interface is simple, being able to see road conditions from other drivers is great, and you’ll have access to countless other features that aren’t available on other platforms. If you’re interested, you can download the software using the link below, with the app available for both iOS and Android.
