It will be an additional source in those cases where there is conflicting data. I have found charging stations at one source which didn't exist at all at other sources.
Point one is the biggest issue with google maps (on phones). It should be possible for the car to pass on some of that data to android auto (with update both sides) to have realtime info in the map on charge state, burn rate etc so the map can make recommendations or even if google maps had the option to put in ytour car type and then imput your current chage state before you start so it could give some estimate as the map knows your speed and outside temp and can estimate your avg speed and if its cold or hot outside.
My problem is that knowing that there is a charger does not mean that it is available or working. Most charging networks do let you know if the charger is busy in their app, but most (aside from Tesla) do not show if the charger is not functional. I have also been ICE'd recently, which is really annoying, and have gone to stations where the cars are fully charged but taking the space.
Takes a bit of time until these issues will iron out.
They need to start doing what tesla does which is charge for overstays.
GM does not honorate their 8 years guaranty on their Spark EV (2014 to 16). They dont manufacture the battery and other parts any more. These cars have now less than 75 000 miles. Instead, they offer to buy back the car at low price. Very common and very bad policy here for a company that want to develop electric cars as their main line.
The think it's great for Google to join the party.
I've never had range anxiety with my Tesla Model Y. It finds all the Super chargers and Destination chargers.
BYD just installed the Cube Pro-System which stores 543 MW in Las Vegas. Things are drippin'
Destination charging is key. I would pick one merchant or service over another if they have destination charging so it's better for business
Range anxiety is something that exists in petrol heads.
2 Q’s Sam. 1. What does OEM stand for & 2. How can I talk/discuss/negotiate with Tesla about buying renting or leasing Mega packs & chargers in say 2-4 years
I can tell you OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, like Dell is for PCs.
Tesla already has this and it works great. Not much reason to buy any EV other than Tesla they have the best software, safety scores and best value for your dollar spent
Not everyone can afford Tesla prices. The only way Ive been able to have a 250 mile EV for the last 3 years is because of the great value for money MG EVs that are available here in the UK at half Tesla prices (pre price drop).
@@Mr31Vince Right that would be my second choice
@@Mr31Vince And the safety rating while not quite as good as Tesla it is pretty darn good.Its good value for the money but would still prefer to go with a Tesla to get the 7500 tax break.
I have friends with the Tesla 3 , I have the Genesis GV 60 and to be honest I would not trade my GV 60 for a Tesla , but each to there own .
Yeahh there's a tone of good EVs out there. Tesla is very cool but 45k for a EV is insane
I think its great idea for EVs to have a Mapping app for EV charging stations whether its Apple Maps or Google maps or from the Charging station network company.
Good on Google, USERS BEWARE in the US 3rd party charging networks are unreliable and will probably not help Google provide a good user experience. I swear chargepoint wants evs to fail, I can not fathom why else they are in the business with such horrible chargers
You can add your charging connections in the settings of the iOS Google Maps app.
Wherever possible I prefer to DC charge the Atto3 at around 40KW to minimise heating and battery wear and tear. 40KW is also about the maximum rate for electric braking.
Typically this means a 25-30 minute recharge stop after 250km.
This is Google Maps in Android Automotive OS. Currently, only a handful EVs use Android Automotive, including Cadillac, Polestar, Volvo and Renault.
And my VW ID3
Ryan Shaw recently did a TH-cam video where he took his Rivian on a road trip, using third party charging stations. His experience was not favorable, to say the least--in his words, "...nothing short of awful." It's worth a view.
For those on the move, only Tesla offers a reliable charging network solution. I'd never buy another EV, other than Tesla, based on this issue alone.
Might be that he chose it to be awful. RIP Rivian.
I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. I consider you a reliable source. Also, I hope your wife is improving and will make a full recovery.
Howerer, as an Australian, I feel I must point out that you are contributing to cultural erosion. You constantly refer to petrol as "gas". I understand that you have a lot of viewers from the USA and I suspect that you feel you need to speak their language so as not to lose the message in translation. I think they can probably cope with the word "petrol" and understand what you are saying. I don't think that you have to adopt US english to get your message across to that segment of your audience.
Tesla doesn't need this. Every other manufacturer needs it.
Ditto
Desperately
True
Cool and thanks !
Equipped with geo fence upgrade I reckon
sounds useful for my short range nissan
It's not range anxiety its charge anxiety. It's only a little bit of planning required for a long journey as long as the charger is available when you get there. I do a 220 mile journey with a 193 miles car. don't travel 180 miles before a planned charge, ill do about 100 miles, stop for a comfort break, say about 30 minutes and put in about 80 miles of charge. Job done, no stress. If it's not possible and the first break, I have 93 miles of range to stop for a top up.
Exactly. I have been running my MODEL X since 2016. Only one time when it was -38 below zero in a blizzard did I ever feel range anxiety. In 70k miles and 7 years, I have never felt range anxiety but that moment.
@@GET2222 Thanks for the reply. I thought I was the only one one doesn't get range anxiety. 🤣🤣
What about here in the UK?
Hi Viking
Did you know Ford have just layed off 10% of their staff in Europe 20% in the UK
All ICE builders!
Regards David Harbutt uk
250 mile range is now the standard
Charging anxiety is now the problem (can't find a charger that's fast/works/available)
Even the Rivian and Lucid owners complain. Can't wait until Tesla builds out their magic dock stalls to supercharge any vehicle (exclude the Leaf)
Rivian and Lucid are basically dead.
@@sodiumdrive4500 don't know about lucid, but Rivian falling short of expectations does not equal dead, it just means less than hoped.
They still made twice as many electric trucks as Ford.
Like Amazon and Tesla, the start isn't about profit, it's about growth until you peak, and when you stop building out, then all that money is pure profit.
Do Tesla owners ever have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station? If so, yes, it would help for Google maps to be available.
Rarely, my niche situation is I'd like to see local lvl2 chargers near my partners apartment when me and the tesla stay there for days.
I think on average your correct in your point.
No .. no Tesla owner needs the fucking hassle with unreliable chargers, different leads, apps and credit cards!
We NEVER visit non Tesla chargers!
They have a cost penalty too !
@Max Flight you're hilariously wrong. I have no issue using the provided converter and the cheap cost to lvl2 charge my 21 m3 lr while at my gfs place and not DC fast charge my battery unless needed. If any tesla owner cared to treat their battery well.
What do you mean by cost though bc I have to pay to use tesla super chargers or non tesla.
@@borshardsd differentiates per KWh
In Australia the supercharger coverage is still pretty spotty so yes you do still need to use other chargers depending on where you are going
I would like the option in our Tesla 3. Now what I really want is Waze…
Waze is good and owned by Google so, maybe?
Why ?
Range anxiety is real. People need to stop dismissing it. It will go away whhen the EV infrastructure is larger
Driving a tesla means we don’t have to use other charging networks so its not really an issue
Anyone wishing for a revival of dine in diners?
Flat recharge fee with a burger combo?
I completely agree with Dobsonimages. In the United States it’s an absolute waste of your money and an unreliable, anxiety ridden experience to try and travel in anything other than a Tesla. If you don’t drive more than 200 miles round trip ever then knock yourself out and get any non Tesla out there. CCS DC fast charging (at least 150kwh) in the USA is a joke. I have 61,000 miles on a Volvo XC 40 recharge as a company electric pilot program vehicle and I have a territory that is two hours to the north in two hours to the south of me. I charge once or twice a day and the reliability is a nightmare not to mention there’s usually only four charging stalls instead of 8 to 12 to 14 to 24 like Tesla, so you’re competing with the growing market of non-tesla EV’s with chargers that are unreliable and don’t work half the time.
They copy the old app 'A better route planner'
It reads your car's SOC from OBD2 port using special dongle and based on make, model, capacity and State of charge plots your drive and charging stops.
The free version doesn't have OBD2 integration, so you need to tell it what your SOC is and it estimates your energy consumption. Not very reliable, but better then nothing.
I think this is fantastic and just a piece of the ongoing move from Ice to Electric cars...
More data for Google to sell then... 🤔
ABRP is awesome. It integrates obd2 data from my car into the app.
I used Google Maps a week ago and it took me though two gated neighborhoods, the 2nd of which the gates remained closed. As I approached the destination it told me to take a side street and go through a public park, but I ignored the automated voice and got to my destination. Delivery drivers have been taken down rabbit holes by these kind of apps. I will use the apps, but only for basic routing. Perform manual route planning whenever you can.
Gated communities are a sickness. Glad that we don't have that in Europe.
I've found them to be superb, with very few errors over thousands of miles. I think you're being way too negative and aren't being honest about the overall experience.
That seems to be the worst edge case I ever heard. Or anyone elsewhere. For most places it is flawless.
@@635574 Definitely. Could even be a lie.
I’ll definitely use this product on my MG4…
Tesla have gas stations in every city 💯💯🙏🙏🙏
not true, i went santa anna texas the first of the year, santa anna is about halfway between interstates 20 and 10, about 70 miles from each, the closest superchargers were on those interstates, about 70 miles away. santa anna has a population of 100,000 with the nearest supercharger 70 miles away,. there were also no level 3 CCS1 chargers in santa anna. doing a google search i found there 5 CCS1 level 2 chargers in town. the first 2 i tried i was not able to get the car and the charger to communicate. the next one i tried i was able to charge the first time, not the next 2, then an employee said it seemed to be up and down and they were thinking of calling for service. dont know if they ever did. i was able to do some 120 charging, not much. there are still EV desserts out there, even in the US.
I live in Italy and we have a very nice network without any issue, independently by Tesla. On the highway there is a net of 300kw charger each 50 km (open to everyone). And outside the highway there is quite enough 50kw or higher charger network. They are implementing payment with credit card even. Maybe because Italy is smaller compared with US or Australia (30 times smaller) but I don't feel any issue not having Tesla.
Tech wise Italy always has been a bit advanced. Very nice to hear that the network is so smooth.
Yes Tesla's got it together the CCS chargers in America not so much!
Is that Enel X (I am Italian but I don't live there). Is it really every 50km? I thought for ages there were issues with charging network on motorway, as corporate entity which managed motorway stations didn't want to give permission to put chargers.
Tesla needs to add 3rd party chargers to their navigation software.
It is not a wonderful as you imply. Good luck finding a working station (other than Tesla) that puts out the rated advertised speed. I have seen too many nightmare TH-cams regarding (non Tesla) charging experiences in the US. I think I will stick to my Model 3LR/FSD, thank you very much.
I don't get why non-tesla chargers are always braking , i mean they charge a huge price for electricity , i live in romania and there are nor enough tesla super schargers , hope they don't alow non tesla cars to charge there !
Sorry for being off-topic. Looks like you're still in Melbourne.
Having faced a rapid decrease in charge when our Bolt reaches 15% (at -20 celcius. ;) ) it makes sense to have this map readily available for finding a charger near our position. other software do it, but Google Maps being our primary route definer, it makes sense.
Is that how your new battery after recall behaves? Or is that using the battery that has a recall on it?
So glad our ev does not do that.
That is all well and good. But one of the most urgent issues needs to be around regulating OEMs to manufacture cars that “talk to each other.” It’s inevitable and necessary and needs to happen asap. The conversation around that needs to start. Just like seatbelts were regulated into all vehicle manufacturing, the same thing needs to happen with electronics that allows cars to “talk to each other.“ it’s inevitable.
The only cars I know of with a built in google system is the Polestars.. who else even has access to that app?
Uh.. dude.. the Chevy Bolts MAX out at 50kw charging speed. They're pure crap for fast charging and long distance drives. Perfectly fine for a in city car.. not much else unless you enjoy miserably long wait times.
I have no reason why a Tesla driver would need this added when Tesla already provides this. I mean, they use google maps.. but adding whatever this google EV app is to it would be completely redundant.
Sweet, I’m early! Love G-Maps
Unless you are in a Tesla, your EV cannot preheat the battery for fast charging! Without preheating you won’t get optimum charge rates !
Just buy a Tesla, everything works so well!
BIDEN strikes EV deal with tesla and gm help to help adding 500000 charging stations by 2030
Can I get an answer here? In remote areas where outlanders may strand themselves between public charging stations will emergency towing services like AAA be able to bring a clip-on pack so the stranded vehicle can make it to the next charger? Will the tow truck have to bring a generator that can throw a charge on the side of the road? Or will the stranded vehicle have to be loaded and transported to the charging station?
Most of the new electric light trucks like the F-150 Lightning, the Cybertruck, etc. have 230 V (or equivalent) outlets. So, people who have flat batteries will be able to plug a charger into these vehicles and charge from the truck's batteries. You will probably see break-down services implement this type of thing within the next few years.
@@wr2382 Thank you.
95 % of the time you can charge at home if you have somewhere to plug in but yes any improvement to other charging infrastructure is most welcome
I believe the estimate is 40% will not be able to do that.
Just heard Sam say every house is able but he hasn't seen neighborhoods in Fort Worth that could not.
The 40% was a UK estimate, and they are already planning charging on the streets.
I am getting closer to getting an electric car but it will cost about two thousand installed. So we have two cars to replace. A lot to consider.
@@tireddad6541 if you have off street parking you generally only need a 10A plug to charge your car overnight
Only a tiny percentage of EVs have native Google Maps. It is useless for the rest of us. I think this is more of a ploy to market Google Maps to EV makers.
But everyone has a smart phone, so what's your issue?
@@robertfonovic3551 These features do not work on the smart phone versions, only the versions embedded in vehicles.
Where I live google maps shows Neuron and Beam scooters and I can’t turn it off.
New google maps filters:
Chargers not all occupied
Chargers that aren’t in high crime areas
Chargers that aren’t broken
Westfield parramatta think it’s fun to put disabled parking in a multi story carpark than can only be exited by using stairs. Can google put in a filter for that too please
Tesla has a variety of different apps and is way better than this POS Google crap🚬
I would never trust an off brand charger with my family in a road trip. I have never not found a Tesla charger and I have never not been able to charge in 7 years of owning my model x.
You do have a way with language don't you? Aaargh!
I love the Cybertruck parked in the Taco Bell parking lot. Nice!
✌❤
Many PPL Mentioned, this helps "other" EV makers. Tesla once again is miles ahead of the other EV makers.
what is really needed is providing the most EV efficient route
