With an update rolling out gradually to user devices, Waze will refine its support for electric vehicle drivers. In fact, the application will allow you to find the nearest charging stations and, above all, the ones best adapted to the habits and needs of users.
Specifically, the user will simply have to indicate in the application parameters that they have an electric vehicle as well as the type of plug it has, among the 7 available models.
real time updates
In the same way as for traffic information, accidents and other roadblocks, the Waze community will also be able to provide real-time updates on the status of charging stations, to offer “the most accurate and understandable information” as Waze claims. in a blog post.
This update remembers the recent adjustments made by Google Maps to its interface. In fact, Google’s navigation service has added the location of fast charging stations and supermarkets that have terminals. Google Maps also shows the user the best possible route, depending on traffic and the car’s charge level. However, these similarities between the services offered by Waze and Google Maps are not due to chance, since Waze was acquired by Google in 2013.
