Electrification in the automotive market continues at full speed. Especially in the last few years, we see that the giant names of the industry have put internal combustion engines in the background. This means that the number of electric vehicles in traffic is increasing and there is a great need for charging stations. In this context, news that will please electric car owners continues to come from Google Maps.
Google Maps makes it easier to find charging stations
With its recent statement, Google revealed the new features that will be brought to Google Maps. Accordingly, electric vehicle owners will be able to find charging stations more easily in the coming months. At this point, mainstream artificial intelligence will come into play and will inform vehicle owners about the locations of charging stations by evaluating the information obtained from user reviews.
For example, when trying to find a charging station, thanks to the new artificial intelligence-supported feature, Google Maps will prompt you to “Enter the underground parking lot, follow the signs to the exit, and turn right just before exiting.” It will guide you with more specific information. This way you will be able to find exactly where you need to go.
Google’s feature will be made possible thanks to millions of user reviews published every day, which help provide accurate and up-to-date information about places like charging stations. Similarly, after completing your charging process, you will be able to help other electric vehicle owners through artificial intelligence by sharing your experiences, such as what type of outlet you used and how long you waited.
It’s not limited to just these. Google said Maps would show electric vehicle owners nearby charging stations, real-time availability, and charging speeds. These innovations mentioned are not yet available. According to the company, the update will be rolled out globally in the coming months, starting with Google-built tools.
