"EV Charging" instead of "Gas Stations"
You can already tell Waze that you're driving an electric vehicle... so why do I still see "gas stations" as an option? Google Maps already has EV charging station POIs - let us select "EV Charging" instead of "gas stations"!

Thank you for your suggestion! Adding EV charging stations to the map is under consideration.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Is there a possibility that anyone of the Waze team gives an update on this subject? I am a frequent Waze user but still annoyed about the lack of possibilities for an EV user.
It would be great to have a one fits all application.
Thanks.

I own 2 EVs in France. In Europe we have a company called Chargemap that gives details on European charging stations. Integration in Waze would be a GREAT advantage in Waze usage.

Google Maps becomes even better for EVs now. It's time to ditch Waze.

Please add Ev charging stations. Make it so that when we ID our vehicle as an EV and we select feul on the search we see the charging statipns instead of gas stations.

It should automatically change gas station to charge locations when you select your vehicle as an electric only type.

Check out the capabilities of A Better Routeplanner for inspiration. Integrate these capabilities into Waze and you have an unbeatable offer for electric car drivers.
Good luck with developing!

"under consideration"? By what mental gymnastics could their inclusion not be a no brainer?
If you'd like help with a proper response try...
"our top software team is working on EV and you'll have it soon"

May I second that suggestion and point out that the relative scarcity of EV charging points make mapping them way more attractive to EV car users than gas stations are to old, soon to be outdated, internal combustion-powered vehicles.
I'm in the UK by the way. -

Great site that may allow you to scrape the data from is abrp (https://abetterrouteplanner.com/) they have been requested to try to get it onto AndroidAuto but it appears they are happy to just collect the info and share it. First one to implement this will always own the lions share of the public users.
