Google (GOOGL; GOOG) said it is bringing Maps’ AI-powered EV charging features to over 350 car models with Android Auto. Now, Maps will recommend when and where to charge based on EV model and battery level, reducing range anxiety and the need to juggle multiple apps. Users just need to add their EV info to Maps and set a destination in the car to see their expected battery usage. Then, add their current charge level to get recommended charging stops, estimated arrival battery level and an updated ETA based on charging time. “To deliver accurate battery predictions for hundreds of vehicles, we combine AI with advanced energy models that analyze car details – like weight and battery size – alongside Maps’ real-time information about traffic, road elevation and weather. This will allow us to bring intelligent trip-planning features to most U.S. EVs soon,” the company said. AI-powered battery predictions are rolling out now on hundreds of EV models in the U.S. across more than 15 brands, with more coming soon. Publicly traded companies in the space include Tesla (TSLA), Lucid (LCID), Nio (NIO), Rivian (RIVN), Xpeng (XPEV), Li Auto (LI), Zeekr (ZK), General Motors (GM), Ford (F), Stellantis (STLA), Volkswagen (VWAGY), BMW (BMWYY), Mercedes-Benz (MBGYY), and Hyundai (HYMTF).
