Preferred fuel type
I have an electric car. None of the options are suitable in the current list.
Please add an option electric in the list of preferred fuel type.7 votes -
I live in FL. Electricity goes out at least 3 times every week. Each time electric comes back on Waze camera starts recording.
Find a way to stop Waze from turning on when electric goes out and then comes back on. It happens frequently in Florida. Recording is off then when electricity comes back on it automatically turns recording on. I saw one lady say on Wyze blog camera coming on by itself and invades her privacy. Perhaps power outages are causing her problem. I keep getting alerts after a minuscule even 2 second blip in electricity since camera turns on.

Schuko connectors
In the electric car options, web cannot choose the schuko connectors, and it's used by a lot of electric motorbikes, even when can find public connexions on the street.
Electric vehicles includes motorbikes too.
Thank you.1 vote -
Two cars
It would be quite useful to be able to configure two (or more) different car profiles. In my case I have a diesel car and an electric car, and I may use one or the other depending what where I want to go (for instance, city center is forbidden for non electric cars). So a feature where I could just simply choose my car when opening the app up or even better, auto detection of what car I am in using CarPlay or Android Auto, would be really nice to have.

add an option for Alternative fuel vehicles to be routed to HOV and HOT lanes since they are exempt
In the state of Georgia Alternative fuel vehicles are permanently exempt from HOV and HOT lane restrictions and as such they are a good option but waze has no way to know we electric folks are using HOV and HOT lane.

Waze map on cluster screen (behind steering wheel) on Android Automotive cars
Electric vehicles powered by Android Automotive from brands like Renault, Volvo or Polestar have the Waze app ready.
However, the application only works in the main infotainment screen and does not replicate the maps in the cluster screen like Google Maps does.
This is a big miss in order to use Waze instead of Google Maps, since it is very practical to see the map behind the steering wheel.
We hope in a near future you can have access to cluster screen and replicate the Waze maps there.

Create user profiles
I wish Waze, like Netflix and so many other must-have apps, let you create user profiles.
That way, to give just one example, you wouldn’t have to change the HOV setting each time you use a Tesla to “electric” (which allows you to use certain HOV lanes).

Swap the remaining time and distance on the bottom of the display (or make remaining time optional)
I drive an electric car, so remaining distance is important for me, but when I use waze in split screen mode, only the remaining time is visible.
It would be nice if I wouldn't need to enlarge the screen when I want to see the distance to destination.4 votes -
Fix your search
Search engine for waze is really bad.
If you type in "Go Electric" wont get hits for "Go-Electric".
Also if you prepend prepositions in spanish language, often results are not found.For example if you type in "marisqueria el diez", it wont match "restaurante bar y marisqueria el diez". Why wouldnt it match? makes no sense

Electrical Map in Puerto Rico will attract millions users
Adding and Electrical Map, will give Waze a millions of users!
Since Hurricane Maria, hundreds of roads and bridges where destroyed, signs that does not exist anymore, and roads with a mile of holes. Lately it is so dificult to drive on some roads. Specially those without electricuty jet, 7 month later of hurricane Maria.
Letting people tag place without electricity, not only give the driver the alert, but will atract a thousand, even million ppl in the island, to repport their house or street.
Also with a so worldwide use app, will make pressure on local…7 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Multiple car profiles for those with more than one car
Most families have more than one car. Often those cars are different and may have different fuel systems, such as petrol, diesel, and electric. That means refuelling stations are different, and also permits. In London, a BEV is UL EZ exempt, and congestion charge exempt. But a diesel has to pay ULEZ and congestion charges. So routing, etc would be different. So having different profiles for each car and being able to select them when starting out or planning would be most useful. This feature is in most apps, such as parking....

Support for Bluetooth OBD / EV data
I need support for Bluetooth OBD adapters for electric cars (live data on battery status and consumption, etc.) so that charging planning is also possible with Waze. When planning charging, it would be great if you could give preference to certain providers. As we know, ABRP offers exactly this function, but I would prefer to navigate with Waze in Android Auto and still have my electric car data in the navigation system.

Green (Electirc Vehicle) on HOV
Hello Devs,
I am currently in Ontario. I drive an electric vehicle (with plate something like GVXX 123).
In Ontario, as far as I am aware of, all Electric Vehicles are eglible to use the HOV even if there's only the driver on the vehicle. I believe in British Colmbia is the same.By default, even if I have my vehicle type set as "Electric", Waze still try to navigate me outside HOV/Avoid HOV all together.
I understand everytime when I need to navigate to somewhere, the app will ask me "2+ People for HOV access". However in…
