Google Maps gets smarter! AI now tells you exactly when to charge your EV
Google has announced that it will bring Maps’ AI-powered EV charging features to over 350 car models with Android Auto.
in its blog post, Google said: "Now, Maps will recommend when and where to charge based on your EV model and battery level, reducing range anxiety and the need to juggle multiple apps."
"Just add your EV info to Maps and set a destination in the car to see your expected battery usage," the internet search engine said.
Google asked users to add their current charge level to get recommended charging stops, estimated arrival battery level and an updated ETA based on charging time.
" To deliver accurate battery predictions for hundreds of vehicles, we combine AI with advanced energy models that analyze car details — like weight and battery size — alongside Maps’ real-time information about traffic, road elevation and weather," the company said in a statement.
AI-powered battery predictions are rolling out now on hundreds of EV models in the U.S. across more than 15 brands.
Google said the feature will be rolled out to more brands soon.
