Electric vehicle (EV) charging station locations and availability are now easily accessible through Google Maps, making it simpler to plan your charging stops efficiently.

The app displays real-time information about charging stations, including:

• Number of ports available
• Charging speeds (kW)
• Port types compatible with your vehicle
• User reviews and ratings
• Last charging report timing

To find an EV charging station in Google Maps:

1. Open Google Maps
2. Type "EV charging stations" in the search bar
3. Browse available stations in your area
4. Tap on a location to see detailed information
5. Check real-time port availability before heading out

This feature helps prevent unnecessary trips to occupied stations and reduces wait times. You can also filter results based on charging speed and connector type to find the most suitable station for your vehicle.

Google Maps pulls data from charging networks and user reports to maintain accurate, up-to-date information about station status and functionality.

Planning longer trips is also easier, as you can add charging stops along your route and estimate total travel time including charging breaks. This integration makes EV charging more convenient and helps reduce range anxiety for electric vehicle owners.

Remember to check station availability shortly before departure, as status can change quickly during peak hours.
