Waze does not display availability details, but you also get additional information on how to find the charging station. The application looks for compatible chargers and provides information like opening hours, charging speed, distance, and plug types. When the plug type is selected, users can then tap the charging station icon in the route option screen. Waze supports J1772, Type Mennekes, Tesla (North America), CCS1, CCS2, CHAdeMO, and GB/T plugs. The application doesn’t come with vehicle profiles to automatically determine the plug type, so users need to choose one of the available options. Users can turn on EV features to be able to configure plugs. The new Waze option launching today introduces an electric vehicle menu in the settings screen. Google Maps also offers availability estimates, though some EV owners learned the hard way the information isn’t always accurate. When expanding a listed station, the application displays additional information, including the location, port types, and supported charging speeds.
Google Maps currently shows nearby EV charging stations on the map. Waze comes with a similar implementation, allowing users to configure their plug type in the app to only see the compatible charging stations. Similar options have been available for a while in Google Maps, the other navigation app owned by Google.
