As an electric vehicle user, it's becoming increasingly clear that Waze isn't designed for this group, which is no longer a minority and will keep growing. While other navigation apps are starting to integrate EV-specific features, Waze still treats an electric car exactly the same as a combustion one. This affects safety, route planning, and the actual driving experience, among other things.

1. Traffic restrictions based on vehicle type
   Many cities already apply restrictions (low-emission zones, lanes, access points) based on environmental labels or propulsion type. Waze should allow users to select "electric vehicle" as a profile and adjust routes accordingly, just as it already does with motorcycle or heavy vehicle profiles.

2. Reliable charger database with provider filtering
   Right now, charger information on Waze is scarce, outdated, or simply nonexistent in many areas. We need to be able to see real availability, connector type, power output, and filter by provider (Iberdrola, Endesa X, Wenea, etc.), just as you can already filter by gas station brand.

3. Routes calculated based on the vehicle's actual specifications
   This is the future of EV navigation: entering the specific model (or at least battery capacity, average consumption, connector type) so the route can calculate necessary charging stops, estimated charging time at each point, and actual consumption based on the route (slopes, speed, weather conditions). Apps like ABRP (A Better Route Planner) already do this, and Waze is falling behind.

Also worth considering:

Charger filter compatible with the user's connector (CCS, Type 2, CHAdeMO) — without this, any other feature loses practical value, since finding a charger is useless if it's not compatible.

Real-time alerts for occupied/broken chargers (community-based), just as speed cameras or accidents are reported now. This would be Waze's equivalent of what PlugShare already does, but with the strength of the Waze community — this would be a huge help.

Integration with the car's charge status (via manufacturer apps, third-party apps, a dedicated API, or Android Auto/CarPlay) so the route can dynamically recalculate if actual consumption differs from the estimate.

Option to choose alternative routes based on extreme temperatures, since cold and heat significantly affect real-world range, something a combustion engine doesn't suffer from in the same way.

Estimated charging cost per trip, adding up the cost at each stop based on the provider's rate, the same way it's already done with tolls. (Taking into account the subscription prices most of us already have.)

Driving-style efficiency feedback: just as there's a safety score, there could be consumption/efficiency feedback for EVs.

"Charge while you do something" mode: suggestions for restaurants, shops, or points of interest near the charger during the estimated wait time.

This group is going to become the majority within a few years. The longer Waze takes to take it seriously, the more ground it's losing to other solutions that are already doing it right.
