Electric vehicle functions with Google Maps

Some functions in Maps are unique for electric vehicles. Here are some of these functions, along with brief descriptions.

The functions listed are only examples. For the latest information about which functions are available and how they work, go to g.co/mapsincar.

Filter by charging stations

By default, the map only shows compatible charging stations.

Suggestions for adding charging stations

If route guidance is started and the system estimates that the vehicle cannot reach its final destination on the current battery level, Maps will suggest adding charging stations at suitable places so that the final destination can be reached.

Battery charge level at arrival

Maps can display estimated battery charge level at arrival at a destination.

Battery preconditioning before rapid charging

When charging stations have been added in Google Maps, the battery will be preconditioned to reduce charging time.

Estimated minimum charging time

When charging stations are input as waypoints in an itinerary, Maps will indicate the minimum estimated charging time at that charging station to clarify total travel time and ETA1.
