Waze has released an update that will now allow EV drivers to add charging stations as destinations, just as the app has done with gas stations for years.
Users can search for charging stations or tap icons on the map, and they can also add charging stops long the way.
It’s not clear what took Waze so lengthy. Google, of which Waze is a subsidiary, has let the Maps users search for getting stations since 2018. Starting in last 2019, it has also allowed users to filter stations based on plug type, letting non-Leaf drivers eliminate CHAdeMO chargers. Regardless, the addition is a welcome one if you frequently find yourself turning to Waze to avoid traffic congestion.
