Electric cars are getting more and more popular every day. When this is the case, technology giants like Google are also updating their services to keep up with the new automobile era. Google Maps, which is indispensable for those who drive, is one of them.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Maps started not showing gas stations to electric vehicles. Google has confirmed these changes.
The feature has actually been available to electric vehicle users on Android Auto since 2022.
The technology giant stated that this newly noticed change actually comes to those who use electric vehicles in 2022. Speaking to The Verge, a company spokesperson added that Android Auto allows for shortcuts to charging stations instead of gas stations to get the most relevant information while driving. It has also been reported that this feature has been included in electric vehicles that come with built-in Google software since 2020.
This feature can be very useful for those who drive electric vehicles. After all, they don’t need gas stations. However, it must be said that most tools do not come with built-in Google features. In other words, drivers who reach Maps from their phones can still see the gas stations.
