Electric vehicle functions with Google Maps

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

The functions listed are only examples. For up-to-date information on which functions are available and how they work, go to g.co/mapsincar.

The functions that relate to battery level are based on historic use of the vehicle and can be influenced by factors such as speed, driving style and use of electrical equipment.

Filter by charging stations

By default, the map only shows compatible charging stations.

Battery charge level at arrival

Maps can show the estimated battery level at arrival at a destination.

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.

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.
