Electrify America's Real-Time Charging Now Integrated into Google Maps

Electrify America Integrates Real-Time Charging Availability into Google Maps

In a recent announcement, Electrify America has made a significant move towards enhancing the electric vehicle (EV) driving experience by integrating its real-time charger data into Google Maps. This exciting development allows EV drivers to quickly and easily access up-to-the-minute information on charging stations across Electrify America's extensive network.

With this new feature, drivers can now view not just the locations of charging stations, but also live updates on charger availability, connector type, charging speeds, and operational statuses all directly within the familiar Google Maps interface. This makes planning routes and charging stops more efficient and hassle-free for EV users.

Improved Decision-Making for EV Drivers
Robert Barrosa, president and CEO of Electrify America, commented, "EV adoption is accelerating, and with it comes the expectation of a seamless charging experience. By integrating real-time data on charging stations, we're not just improving access; we’re also empowering drivers with the confidence to go electric, knowing that essential information is accessible at their fingertips."

This integration builds on Google's existing infrastructure for helping EV drivers find charging stations and represents a broader effort to address one of the main challenges faced by electric vehicle users: the uncertainty of charger availability on the go. With the number of EVs on the road continuing to rise, having real-time updates can help ensure that drivers make informed decisions and can confidently navigate their journeys.

A Network That Supports Electric Vehicle Growth
Electrify America operates the largest open Hyper-Fast charging network in the United States, which spans 47 states and the District of Columbia. The company is investing over $2 billion in Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure, ensuring that millions of Americans can charge their electric vehicles with confidence and explore the numerous benefits of driving electric.

The integration with Google Maps is a crucial step toward creating a more convenient, user-friendly experience for current and future EV drivers. This feature will facilitate the planning of cross-country trips or local outings while supporting the growing demand for electric vehicles and sustainable transportation solutions.

In addition to improving general accessibility for drivers, Electrify America's set of features on Google Maps is expected to assist business strategies related to electric vehicle charging programs. The company also offers specialized services through Electrify Commercial®, designed to help businesses establish effective EV charging systems tailored to their needs.

Looking Ahead
As the electric vehicle industry continues to boom, collaborations like that of Electrify America and Google will play a pivotal role in ensuring that all users have the tools they need to thrive in a more sustainable future. The real-time charger availability update adds another dimension to the EV ownership experience, transforming the way drivers interact with their vehicles and the charging infrastructure around them.
