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
and here
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.

Great news! The option to see the EV charging stations along your route is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also check this link to learn more.

There are over 20,000 charging points in the world today. Suggested targets for infrastructure (charging poles) in the EU available to the public in 2020 is 795,000 pieces. EU launches Clean Fuel strategy http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-40_en.htm
Tesla Superchargers allow Model S owners to travel for free between cities along well-traveled highways in North America, Europe and Asia. Coverage
North America
Today – 102 stations
Complete West and East Coast coverage
Coast-to-coast travel
2014 – 80% of the US population and parts of Canada
2015 – 98% of the US population and parts of Canada
Europe
Today – 38 stations and the expansion is underway, at the end of the year only Sweden will have 14 Tesla Superchargers
Asia
Today – 4 stationsThe exclusion of these is a big mistake!

Don't WASTE development effort on this as these vehicles are a BURDEN to society
Self evidently its proponents leech from others
If anything waze ought be the platform promoting hydrogen fueling stations.

Fossil fuel is biochemically stored solar energy. Fossil fuels more efficiently store solar power but not nearly as efficiently as fissionable material

No.
It's bad enough people have been duped into believing these are "environmentally friendly" and i don't want my tax dollars buying fuel for you nor foolish corporations padding your fuel costs onto me
Electric cars cause 2.5 TIMES MORE carbon emissions than traditional engines when that electricity is generated!!
That doesn't include the increased emissions to create the battery or the energy required to responsibly recycle the hazardous materials in the battery. You'll replace the battery set several times in the life of the car
