Add Electric Charging station location info.

As as EV driver, it would be nice if electric charging station locations was built into the app so I don't have to go to yet another app just for this info. The data is widely available from here

http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html

and here

http://www.plugshare.com/

and here

http://www.chargepoint.com/

One problem is there is not one site that has all the info, so I'm forced to check all three. Having all this data within Waze would allow me to stay inside the app without having to leave it.

    If Waze is listening, PlugShare is a great source. In addition to the locations, Plugshare also allows users to check in and how long they will be using the station for. Like Waze, Plugshare is updated by it’s users who add and update plug type and availability. I would love to see integration with Plugshare in Waze, if such a thing were made possible. Not only the ability to search for ‘charging station’ in Waze, but what KIND of charging station. Is it L2? DCFC? Tesla? CSS? Is it available? If not will it be available by the time I get there? Plugshare has all of those details at many plugs, and making some of that information available in Waze would be amazing.

    It would be great if I could select "electric car" as the vehicle and enter my individual range at the start of the journey. Waze could then, if charging stations are included, calculate a route with necessary charging stops and show me where to take a break to charge.
    I am willing to pay € 20-30 for such a feature, after all, it does work for the developers that should be rewarded.

    Would be super usefull if there was a possibility to opt for electric or hybrid-gasoline next to diesel, LPG, CNG and regular gasoline.

    On top of that, when electric or hybrid was selected, the selection of the type of charger should be possible!!!!

    Soon (better) or later (worst) they’ll have to implement it anyway. The (near) future is going to be electric anyway. 🙋🏼‍♂️

    Would be great if Waze can get infos from the car about the actual SoC. Then Waze can estimate with how many % SoC you arrive at the location. Like Tesla does ;)

    Plugshare is completely unreliable as regards Tesla SuperChargers. I use ChargeHub which I've found to be the best for all brands of EV chargers. Tesla's navigation system is super intelligent and will tell you right when you start on a long journey as to where you'll need to charge the battery. Last year while driving at 75 mph a warning came up saying "if you don't slow down you won't make it to your SuperCharger." Wow, that is really smart! :)

    Same here. Great idea to import alle EV chargers in one app: Waze!
    Now I have to plan with ABRP and change destination on Waze to go go the right EV spot. Would be so nice to have it in one app! (User from the Netherlands)

    Please add this ASAP... I have to use alternative apps along my route to find charging stations. Having it built-in and as a "fuel type" for Fuel Stations would be really helpful.
