I guess both Google and Apple are pulling the live info from Tesla directly.

 

Yes I understand that this is the result of Tesla opening up the APIs to Apple and Google and also in return getting data on non-Teslas that may be inbound to a Tesla charger to aid load management etc.

In other news, the A2Z NACS DCFC extension cable is getting closer to release. As of 11/5 it is now finished and in the hands of a couple of unspecified OEMs for evaluation before release. It basically solves the Supercharger problem for vehicles with charge ports in different locations than the charge ports on Tesla vehicles.

 

I just "tested" this by setting a nearby supercharger as my destination in Google maps (not Android Auto) and I don't see the charger availability...

Maybe I'm missing something....

 

I’ll check it out on our truck if I have time later. I generally don’t use Google Maps for EV routing, but on Apple Maps you’d want to have Tesla (with adapter) set up as a preferred network so it will recommend it.

 

Thats great!

 

perhaps not a thing in canada yet?

 

Not according to the driveTesla article though

 

Just stopping by to show support.

It seems logical Google Maps should add it, why not.
People will probably appreciate it.
