Better navigation for electric vehicles
I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
In addition, also the percentage of charge with which you arrive at the charging station, allowing you to choose whether you want to charge safely and arrive with a higher charge or whether you want to arrive with a lower percentage and thus achieve a higher charging rate.

Google maps already has this and it is a real pity it is not inside Waze. I use waze to see real-time speed traps etc and yet I have to switch to Google maps to see my remaining charge at destinations.
