Google Maps Adds EV Route Planning to Android Auto

Google Maps is bringing native EV route planning to Android Auto, allowing users to select their car make/model to predict battery use, plan charging stops, and set a preferred arrival state of charge. The feature uses AI energy models plus real-time Maps data (traffic, elevation, weather) and auto-updates SOC during a trip, though initial SOC must be entered manually since it doesn’t connect directly to the vehicle. It launches with support for 350 models across at least 15 brands.

Rivian Boosts EV Trip-Planning Capabilities with New Acquisitions

Rivian has acquired A Better Routeplanner (ABRP), a popular EV route planner, and has integrated its capabilities into its latest software update. The update includes significant enhancements to trip planning, giving drivers more control over route planning and preferred arrival range directly from the Rivian mobile app or center display. The app shows drivers how far they can drive with their current range, what the route will look like, charging options, how long each stop will take, and the approximate range they will be left with when they arrive. Rivian is also working on further customization options for charging and multiple stops for trips.
