Google Maps now shows charging points for Tesla and other electric

And from other power companies, although for now and globally users outside the United States and Canada will have to settle for the Tesla. With this move, which will be available in the next version of the application, Google continues to enhance the possibilities of its mobility map service giving even more information for road trips than other map applications.Generally, Google Maps will show the charging points of most of the services recognized for charging electric cars, although as we say, most have only local presence in their respective countries, and only Tesla has chargers of its network spread over different regions. In this way, Google Maps will have Tesla and Chargepoint global points available, SemaConnect, EVgo and Blink in the United States, Chargemaster and Pod Point in the UK and Chargefox in Australia.On local points in Spain there is still not much information, especially regarding the recharge points of stations such as Repsol or some pilot points marching in the city hall, hotels or even the clean energy Iberdrola, which we assume will be added to the information of the maps, as they become popularized.It is certainly good news that can help the expansion of the electric car and also adds to the other relevant information on the road that today only includes Google Maps in aggregation with the rest of services.
