Google is working on a feature for its Maps on Andriod to allow users to plan trips with their electric car. A 9to5Google report said Google Maps version 11.65 unveiled functionality that allowed users to plan their trips based on the availability of EV charging stations.
Some of the messages are: ‘Your battery will be low by the time you get there’, ‘Charge stop needed to reach destination’, ‘Travel too long to automatically add charging stops. Add stops after you start’, ‘No internet. Cannot charge charging stops’ and ‘There are not enough compatible charging stations to reach your destination’.
