An Integrated EV Route Planner for Google Maps Will be Added to Android Auto

All of Google's CES news was recently released, and there are a ton of new features for Android Auto and cars with Google Built-In infotainment systems to sort through.

When it comes to Google Maps integration, electric cars will have considerably greater support, beginning with Android Auto. 

Google Maps will determine your current battery level, forecast the amount of power at your destination, recommend charging stations for the most economical route, and even estimate the duration of each charge stop based on your car. 

Route planning should be considerably more efficient because of this degree of integration, something we haven't seen from utilizing Android Auto in an EV before.
