With the help of AI, Google Maps will provide more accurate instructions on how to find the EV charging points. An AI algorithm scrapes users' comments, which contain information about the charging point's exact location and how to get there. That should help you locate the charger in a multi-level parking lot, for example. The description may also contain additional information such as wait times, the type of plug supported, etc.

While on the go, Google Maps will soon be able to suggest EV charging stations near you as you drive around, depending on the charging plug you use and how fast the charger is.

Google Maps can also plan long trips involving multiple stops along the way. The EV charging points will be suggested based on your vehicle's battery level, how fast the chargers can go and real-time port availability.
