Waze just added a huge feature Tesla and other EV owners have been waiting for

Also, lots of VW promotion

Google-owned auto navigation app Waze is debuting a new EV charging station map filter for U.S. users in partnership with Volkswagen.

WIth the layer turned on, drivers will be able to spot them from route view, peek at their status, and redirect their journeys to one in case they need a pit stop. A Waze spokesperson clarified to us that it shows EV charging stations from a large database, not just ones in the VW-owned Electrify America network. It’s the same capabilities that sister app Google Maps introduced in 2019.

9to5Google reports that while the functionality is available from today, it hasn’t gone live for many users.

Looking into charging sites, users will see ads for VW’s new ID.4 electric SUV. They’ll be able to change their Waze avatar to look like an ID.4 as well, at least for the time being.
