And also those that use the same plug as your vehicle.
Google Maps is surely one of the browsers most used by drivers. It works quite well and is always being updated with the addition of new features. If some time ago it began to recommend the most ecological routes, now the app incorporates a new utility for electric car owners: it shows fast charging points.
Now, within the application, when searching for “charging station”, an option appears that allows you to filter the results so that they are only fast. The system includes within this category all those that operate at a power of 50 kW or more.
In addition, a filter has also been added that allows you to select only those stations that use the same type of plug that your car uses, so that they are compatible and thus avoid the problem of appearing at a point where the vehicle cannot be connected. plug.
Of course, for the moment this new functionality to search for fast charging points for electric cars is not available in all markets. It has arrived in the United States, both for Android and iOS devices, and it is expected that it will gradually spread to other countries.
Although it is the most important novelty, Google Maps has also added two other interesting functions.
The first is that of augmented reality. It is the most striking of all, since, with the application open and the camera activated, it will show what is around (stores, restaurants, shops, etc.), also providing information on opening hours, price range, etc. It will be available in New York, London, Tokyo, Paris, San Francisco and LA
The second is that the symbol that indicates whether a place is accessible for people with reduced mobility will be active throughout the world, showing the icon of a person in a wheelchair.
