Waze adds EV charging station locations to its driving map

For the first time, you can see where to charge up while using the Waze app.

The navigation app added features for electric car owners on Friday. You can look up public charging stations along your route. As more people buy electric vehicles, more charging stations are planned.

Volkswagen, the German carmaker that released its first electric SUV at the beginning of the year, is partnering with Waze to make it more EV-friendly.

You can change your car icon to an EV to better reflect what you're doing. You can keep the default arrow icon, but the VW ID.4 is now listed as one of the driver icons. The only electric option on the list is the ID.4.

You can look up EV charging points with the help of apps like Apple Maps. How many plugs are available and working are some of the information that can be found in the charging stations. In Volvo and Polestar electric cars, there is a built-in system that includes trip planning with charging stops along the way.
