Google Maps adds more EV charging station details

Google Maps has added more detailed charging station listings which includes Chargefox (JET Charge) in Australia and New Zealand.

Globally, Google Maps is supporting networks from Tesla and ChargePoint with additional country-specific partners.

Following recent updates focused on upgrading Commutes, Google Maps is now working to improve the experience of finding charging stations for electric vehicles, 9to5Google reports.

Optimised search and listings show more detailed information like ports availability and supports Tesla, ChargePoint, and several other networks around the world.

Searching “EV charging” or any other similar term on Google Maps will display the nearest supported stations. This is unchanged from before, but the list is now optimised for the query with several added points to quickly skim through results, 9to5Google says.

The map and list will quickly show where the station is located along with ports availability, charging speeds, and price, as well as a quick shortcut to start navigation.

Diving deeper into a listing will note what business the station is located at, as well as pictures, ratings, reviews, and questions. There are also quick links to visit any relevant page or to call the station.

This feature rolled out on Android and iOS on October 16, and is expected to be on the desktop web in coming weeks, according to Google.
