Dear Waze team,

I have been using Waze for many years and it remains my preferred navigation app. However, I would like to suggest a feature that I believe is becoming increasingly important.

Currently Waze always offers the fastest route as the default option. In many cases there is an alternative route that is only 2–3 minutes slower but significantly shorter in distance (sometimes even 30–50% shorter).

For many drivers today – especially those using electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids – minimizing energy consumption can be more important than saving a few minutes. Fuel prices, battery range, and environmental awareness also make distance and efficiency increasingly relevant.

It would therefore be extremely useful to have an “Economy” or “Energy-efficient” routing mode, similar to what some other navigation systems offer. This mode could prioritize shorter distance, fewer accelerations, and overall energy efficiency instead of pure travel time.

As EV adoption grows rapidly, I believe such a feature would be highly appreciated by many Waze users.

Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuing to improve such a great navigation platform.

Best regards,
Janos
